Is Emily insane? What kind of insanity?Does she have more than one — identify any and all using the Diagnostic Manual, not your opinion. At what point in the text did you determine she becomes insane or perhaps sane for the first time in her life? How did she become insane or gain back her sanity? To what extent does her “insanity” free her from all that she has experienced? To what extent does her reclamation of her sanity free her soul? To what extent does she “masculinize” herself as she goes insane or as she gains sanity? To what extent does she adopt “toxic Masculinity”? Why does “masculinization” of self, basic or toxic, count? What are some of her growing and final acts of rebellion/gaining freedom? Do not call Emily a lunatic or use any other slang words. Use appropriate mental health terminology.
Keep your response literary, though you may use the Diagnostic Mental Health Manual . To maintain a literary focus, use appropriate concepts such as theme, foreshadowing, symbolism, irony, setting, allusion, character analysis, and so on.
