A Better Father
|
Transcript: Fink's bird is a repulsive creature. But I suppose a prison needs a guard. What surprised me is not how the girl has imprinted upon the monster. After all, one might observe a baby chimpanzee accept a wire replica for its mother. But I did not expect the brute to be capable of forming an attachment in return. Hm. Perhaps it could prove a better father to her than the two she has known.
Location: Next to a stack of books on the dresser on the left in the back of the bedroom upstairs.
Behind the Scenes[]
- Rosalind refers to the famous "wire mother" study introduced by Harry Harlow which used surrogate wire and cloth mothers to observe behavior in infant primates.
- The study was conducted during the 1950s, in contrast to the Voxophone recording date (though Lutece likely witnessed it through a Tear).
- A similar "wire mother" experiment appears in the Imprinting Studies of Fink MFG Research Laboratories in Burial at Sea - Episode 2.
