502 0 0 0 7 4. Leena Klammer is the main character and antagonist in the movie The Orphan. She is highly intelligent, highly manipulative, superficially charming when needed, and lacks remorse. The choice of the name “Esther”, alludes to the Biblical figure who was once an orphan and became Queen of Persia, multiple mentions of heaven, and carrying her male victim’s pictures around inside an old Bible suggests that she is somewhat influenced by Judeo-Christian concepts – though clearly not on moral level. Leena suffers from a pituitary disorder that causes her to be a proportional dwarf. Because she is physically not quite a grown woman and not quite a child, it is hard for her to have an adult relationship with a “normal” man, which is one of the things she yearns for.
She was sexually abused by her father from infancy. When her father took on a new sexual partner, he informed Leena that it was because she would “never be a real woman”. Leena was one of Saarne’s most violent patients, forcing the staff to keep her in a straitjacket that she was constantly fighting to get out of. Continued struggling against her restraints caused scarring on her wrists and neck.
So, to cover these, she wears ribbons. She escaped the hospital and tricked an American family into adopting her. Eventually, she tried to seduce the father, and when that failed, she killed him and his family and set fire to the house. Kate and John Coleman visit their local orphanage in an effort to help their family recover from hard times. It is here where they met “Esther”. She easily charms them both and after some consideration they decided to adopt her. One night, Esther walks in on Kate and John having sex.
The next day Kate tries to explain what happened and says that when parents love each other very much and Esther simply says “I know they fuck”. This of course shocks Kate as Esther is displaying far more knowledge of sex and its slang than would be expected for a child her age. Kate wants to bring her to a therapist, Dr. Browning, but John doesn’t want to make all that fuss about “one little dirty word. Esther first day as school is not made easy for her as a classmate named Brenda teases Esther about her odd fashion. A few days later, Brenda once again teases Esther for carrying a bible to school and throws it and has some pages fall out of it.
As Esther tries to quickly pick up the pages, Brenda notices the collar on her neck and tries to grab it and Esther freaks out and screams. Sister Abigail ,the head of the orphanage, warns Kate and John about Esther’s tendency to be around when things go wrong. Esther overhears this and later kills Sister Abigail by bludgeoning her with a hammer. She forces Max to help her hide the body and the hammer. Daniel sees Esther and Max descending from his treehouse from behind a rock, not knowing they hid the hammer there. Later that night, Esther threatens to cut Daniel’s genitals off if he tells anyone what he saw.
Kate is later told that the Russian orphanage Esther came from has no record of her ever being there. Kate later finds Esther’s bible and sees an inscription, declaring the bible property of the Saarne Institute. Confusing her even more, Kate finds out that Saarne is in Estonia, not Russia, as all of Esther’s paperwork stated. Daniel learns of the hammer from Max and decides to get it and go to the police.
However, Esther sets the treehouse on fire, intending to get rid of the evidence and kill Daniel. Daniel escapes by falling out of the tree, severely injuring his neck and knocking him unconscious. Esther tries to finish him off by smashing a rock over his head, but Max shoves her out of the way just in time. That night, Esther tries to seduce a drunk and dazed John, who had drank Kate’s last bottle of wine.
