Not sure that one can infer any generalized message from this very particular film – and, when George (Keitel) seeks lessons from Ada (Hunter), is it not all in a very transactional way between them, where neither is definitely ‘the hunter’ ?

It would be interesting to know what Campion says about this, but maybe easier to look at the preface to the text…
