An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A character has something driven into the palm of his hand and right out the other side. Usually a knife, but may be a bullet. This may be done for several reasons: * To make us empathise with his pain, while injuring him in a way that allows him to carry on operating mostly unhindered. * To demonstrate his machismo when he simply withdraws the object and carries on, or in some cases carries on without even bothering to do that. * To demonstrate his extreme machismo when it was he who drove the object into his own palm in the first place. * To imply some parallel with some guy who once suffered similar wounds.
