Naked Jim

Naked Jim has been attempting to escape the Manor for fifteen years. One of the few to come eye to eye with the full power of the Manor’s mysterious gravity, Naked Jim performed an almost Cartesian revolution in his personal thinking by ceaselessly wondering why he was incapable of leaving Manor grounds. After a sequence of byzantine failures to leave the Manor on personal business, Naked Jim “put two and two together” and decided to test his hypothesis with increasingly desperate proofs of concept, which can be classified into the following categories: 1) Attempted Expulsion, 2) Call for Outside Intervention, 3) Self-Deception, and 4) Running Away in a Determined Dash.

It has been speculated that Naked Jim does not truly want to leave the Manor, and is subconsciously seeking to justify his perception that he is trapped in order to maintain the subordinating relationship. This actually supports the theory that all Manor residents are in fact essentially trapped there; this is simply the way Naked Jim’s Manor-attachment finds paradoxical expression.
