The Island of Dr Moreau
The film explores the idea of what happens when those in power break the law and the consequences that follow. Dr Moreau's actions have dire repercussions, not only for himself but also for those around him, as the animals he has experimented on are left in a state of confusion and pain.
The phrase 'he who breaks the law goes back to the house of pain' can be interpreted as a warning to those who would break the law. It suggests that those who engage in illegal or immoral acts will ultimately suffer the consequences and experience pain as a result.
In the case of Dr Moreau, the 'house of pain' could refer to the physical and mental anguish he endures as a result of his actions. His experiments, though initially successful, ultimately fail, and he is left to deal with the fallout. The animals he has experimented on, once docile, turn on him, and he is forced to confront the horror of what he has created.
The film serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the dangers of playing God and the potential consequences of breaking the law. It suggests that those who break the law will ultimately be punished, whether by the law itself or by the natural order of things.
