Very interesting. Let's bring out Lord Floyd again. From this notorious bad lieutenant, we see the archetypes of the two ancient fathers described by Freud. One is the law enforcement father who submits to the law and helps popular authority maintain the rules of order, while the other is the lascivious father who is above the law, enjoying all privileges and women, and repelling enemies and all his sons. Both archetypes are embodied in the same man, and he certainly suffers from the tension between the two—Nicholas' blue eyes of guilt and ecstasy are all too fitting.
