- Mr. Wetherbee represents the scholastic voyeur,
- the senior male figure (just as crone/mother earth
- is the senior female figure). he is the one who
- thinks that he can observe without obstructing the
- behavior and activities of those around him, yet he
- is intrusive and because he is a symbol of authority
- his presence is felt too heavily by those he desires
- to watch and thus he will never achieve what he most
- wants to be; the invisible omniscient. since he has
- tenure, he will not go away and leave wild youth to
- persue their desires uninhibitedly.
-
- the s.v. is a figure rarely mentioned by Jung but
- implied in his writing.
