Buñuel’s film, The Young One, examines the topic of persecution and morality through racial prejudice against a man of color wrongfully accused of sexually assaulting a white woman. While pedophilia is display between a white man and young girl who inhabit on a remote island. These characters cross paths as the man of color, Traver, flees on a stolen boat now that he is considered a wanted man. He explores around the island, coming across cabins belonging to the white man, Miller, and a young girl, Evalyn, also known as Evvie. A deer tied to the cabin represents Evvie being tied to the land and innocence, being a teenager raised by Miller and her deceased, alcoholic grandfather, Pee-Wee. The imagery of the rabbit being shot and skinned can also symbolize Evvie being captured by Miller and left vulnerable. A theme of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita structured throughout the film, the initiation of a young girl being deflowering by an older man. Evvie becomes groomed by Miller, who takes advantage of her innocence and unawareness. Miller is driven by lust when he sees Evvie’s body slowly maturing and fears his secret of predatory acts coming to light to the Protestant preacher. Religion is depicted to be a powerless factor against racism and pedophilia, in that Miller justifies his actions with the intention to marry Evvie. The Protestant preacher is unable to intervene since it doesn’t conflict with the rules of the church. He also doesn’t correct Miller or his friend’s prejudiced view on Traver, as the societal norms of the time depict a person of color as belonging to an inferior class.
