The man in the red cloak, who, as we’ve determined, represents Ziegler, tells Bill, ominously, “Nothing can change her fate now.” This represents Bill at the end of the bathroom scene worrying that Ziegler will have Mandy killed to keep her from talking. Plus, by examining Bill’s dreamlike reimagining of Ziegler’s party-the orgy sequence-we can see that Bill feared for Mandy’s safety even before she was killed. Remember that later on he demonstrates ugly contempt for her: “She was a hooker. I doubt anyone would argue that Ziegler is above ordering someone’s death, especially someone as low on the socioeconomic ladder as Mandy. Ziegler, a married man of tremendous wealth, has a drugged, naked prostitute lying unconscious in his own bathroom while he throws a house party. Although Kubrick films the bathroom scene in a low-key, casual tone, the situation is horrific. Once we ask this, we arrive at an almost too-simple answer: Mandy is killed to protect Ziegler’s reputation following the incident in his bathroom. Thus, what we should be asking is: what does Mandy do at the Ziegler party that would cause her to be murdered, and how is that projected by Bill into the orgy scene? As we’ve established, however, the orgy is Bill’s dreamlike reflection of the party at Victor Ziegler’s house. The key is that this line of questioning is misguided, because it assumes that the events of the orgy scene are their own unique events. He merely discredits her as a “hooker” and even exclaims at one point, “her door was locked from the inside, police are happy, end of story!” It’s pretty clear to Bill-and us-that Mandy was killed.īut the big, unresolved question is: Why would Mandy’s act of redemption at the orgy lead to her having been killed? What does “redeem” even mean? Ziegler denies foul play in her death, but he’s extremely unconvincing in doing so. Amanda Curran, who has three appearances: first she overdoses in Ziegler’s bathroom later, she “redeems” Bill at the orgy finally, she turns up dead in the morgue. This is because only through an understanding of the symbolism can we piece together the disjointed plot.įirst we’ll focus on the mystery of Mandy the prostitute, a.k.a. I’m aware that my analysis in Part 1 only explained the movie’s symbolism and didn’t fill any of its frustrating plot holes.

So they just shut up and let me back.This is Part 2 of my analysis of Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. I’ve been giving them a lot of press, though.
