The audience later learns that the novel was actually created as a form of escapism, providing a coping mechanism for the author, who endured sexual abuse as a child. Near the end of the film, the interrogator claims that he was the man who had sexually abused the author in her childhood. But one cannot be entirely sure he was the one who abused her, as the film suggests he was just using the abuse against her as a way of breaking her down.After subjecting her to lengthy physical and mental torture, and pretending to be several other people another prisoner, a more brutal interrogator while the Victim is blindfolded, the Interrogator tries to get her to sign a confessionto save her life. While he knows now that the woman is innocent, he implores her to confess to avoid execution. She refuses, and goes to her death. ........
