Shrub reminds me of the mother in the movie "Goodbye, Lenin." She was an East Berliner who went into a coma before the Wall fell and came out of it after Germany was unified. Her family shielded her from the outside world and even kept her from looking out the window to find out that the old Soviet bloc East Germany had fallen, because that would crush her spirit.
It's the same with *. His people shield him from the real world because it's nothing like the one he thinks he lives in.
