      I had to Google it. Mr. Pembrose is the eyeball lying on the couch. Lacking a body, he is physically incapable of doing anything. That’s why he’s angry at the world: he exists but can barely participate in existence.

      It’s hard to spot, but Pembrose is an eyeball on the couch. It’s absurdist humor - of course if someone were just an eyeball but somehow sentient, they’d probably have a lot of anger towards the world.

        I was just thinking the guy’s been so beaten down by life he’s been reduced to an eyeball. But a lidless eyeball cannot help but appear angry, so the psychiatrist is labeling all the horror that sliced him up as “eh you’ve got some anger issues”
