The narrative assertion
"Professor Kettering explains that the machine extracts 'negative or evil impulses' to create rational individuals, and later, Doctor Summers reports that Linwood was terrified of rats, suggesting that deep fears are connected to the narrative theme of control of the mind. Impulses and a person's fears are both mental weaknesses that the machine can manipulate."
