Yes, more than one reading of the text is possible. That is true for any text. But I think that Caroline’s essay is perhaps the most brilliant reading of “The Prisoner” that has been written or published. And her use of Baudrillard’s simulation theory is a brilliant academic accomplishment in the unusual yet important area of Baudrillard and psychoanalysis.

Hi,
I really like this perspective, it’s something to think about. Especially I like that idea that No6 was trapped by his way of thinking. However, I’m not sure whether he really wanted escape back to his old life, and I don’t think that he eventually managed to break free at the end of Fall Out. One could also take this as a seemless link to the beginning, the last picture being the first one.
Kind regards
Jana

Thank you for the erudite Wednesday afternoon read. It has been decades, somewhat lost in the hinterland, since the favorite writer of my twenties, Albert Camus has come back to the light. I can almost taste the wonderful conversations with my deceased mentor.
Sincerely Dennis.
