Bertrande constantly questioned and confided in those closest to her only to be told she was mad. “All my household believe me to be mad”. The priest, who was an important figure at the time, dismissed Bertrande’s speculations and did not express any doubt about the strangers identity. Rather, he reassures Bertrande that men change over time and that Bertrande should “pray for understanding” . When Bertrande went on to sue Arnaud, he discouraged Bertrande to bringing the lawsuit against the rogue imposter as he was convinced that the man Bertrande was accusing was the real Martin.

The entire movies is, as Shyamalan put it, a conversation between Graham and God, and Graham regaining his faith, after he realizes that his wife’s death was not in vain. But what about the underlying truth: If God had not killed his wife, then Graham would not have to question his faith.
