Scene eleven begins in the interrogation room with Sims and Morris. In this scene, to me it became rather intense especially at the beginning. Morris attempts to get Sims to reveal where his server is located and describes what is actually happening in the Hideaway. Basically, a plethora of girls all looking alike are represented behind someone no matter who they are. They are allowed to get close with people; however, they cannot become emotionally attached or they are sent to boarding school. The guests are only allowed to choose through a variety of appearances. Sims is the creator so he controls everything of this world from the music to the how anything else appears. Morris describes the music that the users dance to as “dancing to his nightmare” (Morris, 47). In order for Morris to tell Sims what happened to Iris, Morris demands Sims to tell her where his server is located once again. Morris slips up and reveals that Sims looks the same as his person in the Hideway. Sims finds out Morris is a member of the Hideaway.
Is Morris just as guilty as Sims since she earnestly participated in the Hideaway as well? What legitimate intentions did she have behind joining the Hideaway? Is she trying to get Sims to directly confess by incorporating herself with the Hideaway?
Yes Morris is just as guilty as Sims because she participated in the Hideaway. She joined the Hideaway because she had a problem to deal with herself, which was her father not being there for her. No and yes because she wasn’t in the Hideaway just to get information it seemed that way at first until we found out each character played a different role.
Morris inital intentions for going into the Hideaway was to discover information on papa, it just so happened that she fell inlove with Iris. I feel its unfair to Morris to convict Sims considering she did what every other pedophile did in the Hideaway. She’s just as guilty.
Ethically, Yes Morris is just as guilty. Legally, No Morris is not just as guilty. The law works in funny ways. A person of authority, police and judges, in the legal system are not subject to the same punishment as a civilian, everyday workers, are. Morris intentions were to only gather information about the Hideaway and about Papa. I do not believe that Morris was trying to get a direct confession from Sims in the hideaway because she really does not know who Papa is and she only brought Sims in for questioning because of a speculation she got from being in the Hideaway.
Morris is technically in the hideaway for ‘investigation purposes’ but seems to partake in the events that go on a little too much. She is in the hideaway as Mr. Woodnut for what seems to be good intentions at first, but she ends up getting sucked in and doing things that go against her moral compass. I feel she is being hypocritical and is guilty as well.
