Movie Symbolism 101Although *Girl Interrupted* is a true story, the name of the original institution which Susanna Kaysen checked herself into was changed to "Claymoore" for the movie. Okay, here's something to ponder...A "claymore" is a double-edged sword, right?From *Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable* we discover that this can be an allusion to "the double-edged sword out of the mouth of the Son of Man -- one edge to condemn, and the other to save. (Rev. i. 16.)"Which was essentially the function of the institution into which Susanna had committed herself.-- Nanaea
