Summary:

The resource of literary narrative allows us to analyze the film "The King’s Speech" from a different perspective than those currently available. It is a matter of reading it from the concept of “mis en abyme”, finding a scene within the scene, in which the second offers the clues to understand the keys of the first. This resource is applied to two key passages of the film, thus allowing it to be analyzed as a clinical fiction and to better understand the psychological vicissitudes of the character and the possible ways out of it.
