Pierre Brasseur

So I wonder whether my reading of it is more like... about the the system that

phrase you that term you mentioned our fable i think is really interesting because in in some ways the film reminds me of those fairy stories like rapunzel which are set in where someone is incarcerated in a castle or uh something like bluebeard's castle where you know a woman is at risk of a madman and here it's a young man who's at risk of Madman, as represented by the principal doctor, the head of the asylum, Dr. Varmon, is it? Varmon, played by Pierre Brasseur.

And you have these two kind of contrasting figures as the principal doctors.

Dr. Varmon, who thinks of himself as a kind of custodian of... threats to society, someone who wants to protect society at large by keeping its most dangerous elements together under lock and key in this prison, effectively.
