The spider

David Traversa. Wow how many Freudian interpretations...! Here is another one: Usually it's very difficult to get rid of insects (they've been here millions and millions of years before us --humans-- so they know their ways), as it happens, a surviver spider was walking by on that wall of that room in that hospital, sorry, the cleaning lady missed it.

I think several of these interpretations can be true at the same time.

My thought was that when he was staring at the spider he thought he was in control, that he could pinpoint the evil that threatened her and as long as he kept his eye on it he could keep her alive. When the spider fell his face for a moment looks relieved, as if the threat is now gone. But instead, he was looking in the wrong place for the threat because while he was preoccupied death came in spite of his efforts to "monitor the threat (spider)."

I hate spiders but felt sorry for the spider's death.
