" The Real Prisoner "
Imagine being kidnapped, stuck in a
room for a long period of time without anyone’s notice, with no absolute
daylight, no one to share the conversations with, and no hope of escape; the
madness is intolerable. Being imprisoned in an unknown place is unbearably
suffocating but getting trapped in one’s own mind is beyond incurable. Once a
person gets drowned in his/her own mind and delusions, it is almost impossible
to survive. The same concept applies to Frederick Clegg in the book, The Collector by the author John Fowles.
Frederick, a lower class young man who is very fond of collecting butterflies,
suddenly gets very rich after winning in the pools. After winning that money, he
kidnaps a young beautiful girl named Miranda who he has never even spoken to
before and keeps her in his basement as a prisoner. Although Miranda is
physically being trapped by Fred, no differences are made between them since
Fred is also getting immersed in his dark thoughts and self-centered
perspectives. Miranda maybe physically imprisoned but she is the one in
possession of her freedom in her own mind; however Fred, who is in possession
of his physical freedom, is a prisoner of his own mind.
