There is an unquestionable fact: in modern times, regardless of the East and the West, young women will accommodate whatever society they want

The heroine selected by Rohmer is just right. According to the traditional aesthetics, Heidi is not beautiful or elegant, but she can better meet the needs of the film: young can rob all rational cognitions, and rationality is at stake in the face of animality.

The two male protagonists in the play are victims of this form: on the one hand, they can't suppress the instinct to desire young women's body, on the other hand, they will fall into a deep sense of loss: the noble morality that they believe they must shoulder in the society. The sense of mission and the privileged status of young women with a halo that the society defaults are a blow to their values

They think that according to the society's portrayal of value, they should be the special one that has attracted attention, respect, and attraction. It turns out that they are not taken seriously

The Collector quotes

  • Haydée: I exploit. It can be anything, the main thing is for me to get something.

  • Adrien: We are always someone else's slave. I find less dishonor in living at a friend's house, than in being paid by the State. Today, most people do useless work. Three quarters of all activities are parasitic. I'm not a parasite, the bureaucrats, the technicians are.
