He was everything but happy with his life there. By 1834 together with some collaborating friends he wrote the revolutionary leaflet "Der Hessische Landbote" which was aimed at the very poor rural population to insurge against the oppressive regime and structures. It's remarkable headline was "Friede den Hütten, Krieg den Palästen!" - "Peace to the shacks, war against the palaces!" Afterwards he and his friends - no wonder - were sued by the authorities, his rooms were searched but he wasn't arrested. He then managed to escape to Strasburg (now France) and finished writing of "Danton's Death" in 1835. He went on to write various plays and drams. In 1836 he died aged only 23 of typhus in Zurich, Switzerland. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-30440487650456120542012-12-14T08:12:14.790+00:002012-12-14T08:12:14.790+00:00Hello Arno,

Thank you for pointing this out. Who said there is nothing left to think about in 'the Prisoner?' What's more it's educational!<br /><br />Kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-76482349533061049472012-12-13T23:56:34.483+00:002012-12-13T23:56:34.483+00:00100% that McGoohan saw the irony

I wouldn't c..."All you need is love". I wouldn't claim I've a 100% clue why PMcG chose this particular song except that perhaps he liked Beatles music and this song was the new hit single. As seen on the screen nobody can possibly say anything else than "it's use is ironic". Did you notice that the initial chords are those of the Marseillaise, the French national anthem? It's a match with the trial setting of the episode, the song's origin being from 1792, time of the French Revolution the era of courtmartialing and political (show) trials, when political adversaries were being disposed of in short order. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
