Who is The Staff at Villette from Veronika Decides to Die and what is their importance?

All of the doctors, nurses and security guards at Villete remain unnamed and undifferentiated in terms of character. They do, however, play an important and defining role in the narrative, as they variously enact Igor's orders, offer unexpected warmth and insight to Veronica, and trigger realizations and transformations in all of the characters. Much of the staff is portrayed as functioning in a way condemned by Zedka and by extension by the book itself as robots, unquestioningly following orders because they see no need to question them. In essence, these characters metaphorically represent a society in which to live freely, openly, passionately, and independently, heedless of the perceptions and reactions of others is to be considered insane.
