Without sensibility, Godard's characters cannot possibly cope with their setting; the relation between them and a generally vicious society (filled with burning automobiles and corpses) becomes one of simple conflict.

When one told Klagsbrun, "Doc, I've never felt better," the psychiatrist knew that the man needed to delude himself about the true nature of his condition and could not cope with the truth. On the other hand, Klagsbrun felt that if the patient talked objectively about his pain, he was craving for honesty and could be told about the inevitability of death...
