While other questions as easily answered. But as you say, and I agree with you, that you think you have answered one question, then you suddenly find another answer to that question, and you have to re-evaluate your original answer. I've found myself re-evaluating why The Village had its cemetary on the beach. The reason for my evaluation of this came because of what I saw in an episode of a BBC television series I was watching last night. <br /> Sometimes 'the Prisoner' can lead one right up the garden path!<br /><br />Best regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-88599471040261298042015-03-26T11:11:44.797+00:002015-03-26T11:11:44.797+00:00Hello David, hello Arno,

Sometimes I feel that the Prisoner really is a question, or rather a bunch of questions, and that this might be why it includes no answers or too many of them. At the same time. There's one thing that's sure, if you think you have found an answer there will always be another one along the way, you just have to take a step and change the point of view. So yes, I thoroughly agree, in a way it is made up as we walk along. I think the Prisoner really means what it is, and it is inescapable and impossible to catch. <br /><br />Best regards,<br />JanaJananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-2822824388226284022015-03-26T08:32:06.967+00:002015-03-26T08:32:06.967+00:00Hello Arno,

It means what we consider it to mean, what we witness with our eyes as eyes, like cameras, cannot lie. And then on the other hand, when Number 6 used that phrase "It means what it is," he went on to explain his abstract sculpture. I've always thought that very clever of Number 6, to be so quick witted to make something up on the spur of the moment. Well that's how its always appeared to me, because there was no way he could have known that he would have to explain his sculpture. In other ways he was making it up as he went along, and the same could apply to 'the Prisoner.' that in our explanations we make it up as we go aong, I know I sometimes do imaginatively speaking!<br /><br />Very best regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-45641771059918215962015-03-26T08:15:52.957+00:002015-03-26T08:15:52.957+00:00"It means what it is." In a way the, no:..."It means what it is." In a way the, no: one answer lies exactly here in front of our eyes. The Prisoner as a MEANS, considered perhaps as a tool for further exploration of - what? Society, the nature of man, the world... It can be one but not everyone will be able to recognise it as such or make use of it. Far-fetched? I may be wrong but still it's one possible explanantion. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
