When Norman Bates is about to spy on Marion Crane (through a hole in the wall), he holds an image of the biblical story of "Susanna and the Elders" (Chapter 13 of the Book of Daniel). In the story, two Jewish Elders (authority figures) spy on a naked woman while she bathes. They attempt to blackmail her into having sex with them, threatening her with a false charge of adultery. This story of voyeurism and corrupt authority has been a popular subject in Christian art.
