The movie Girl Interrupted gives a glimpse into the world of the psychiatric hospitals and their patients in the late 1960’s. Each of the characters exhibit symptoms of various psychological problems, while still being personable enough to allow viewers to sympathise with them. At some point in our lives, each of us feels as if we are on the outside of society like Susannah, or tries to manipulate others like Lisa. We do not, however, carry it to the extremes that they do. We are able to maintain control over our lives, and live in relative peace and harmony with those around us. One example from the movie of someone trying too hard to control the things around her is Daisy Randone’s obsessive compulsive disorder. Some examples of this behavior are; her obsession with chicken, her refusal to allow anyone into her room, her addiction to laxatives, and her eventual suicide. Some of the other residents talked about the fact that Daisy always checked in for a short stay around the holidays, and always had a private room. They also suspected that Daisy might be the victim of incest as well.…

She sympathised with the characters of this book, she herself knew what it was like to feel uneasy with not feeling sane. Everyone has some crazy in them, there is no longer a normal category in our society. We are all insane. Just as she was turning the next page of the book she was highly invested in, a long thin finger sharply grabbed the right hand side of the book. The hand was crinkled and heavily charred with first degree burns and had a bronze ring…
