    Hysteria‚ It’s a powerful thing really. In the midst of a crisis this could really cause trouble. After all people can’t think straight when something goes wrong‚ it’s human nature to assume things rather than to rationally think. Humans are very social beings and they will follow anyone who they think is correct. It doesn’t take much for someone to blindly trust those who say they are doing good. The problem with this is that many of those they trust know what they want‚ and that thing is power

    It is fascinated how the history of hysteria started as well as the study of trauma. I have to say that this was a very brave study to be done in the nineteenth century. As a goal was to banish all the atrocities from the consciousness. But in order to do that the researchers started studying the trauma and hysteria. The first person to be interested in something like this was French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. The study started at the most expansive hospital‚ an ancient Salpetriere which

    T.S Elliot Hysteria

    T.S Eliot’s ‘Hysteria’ is a very short insight into a somehow disturbed man’s mind. The time frame of the poem is extremely short‚ which enforces the idea that a moment can last in one’s mind forever. The poem also establishes the role of powerful‚ rich upper class women in early 20th century. The text also displays an interesting perspective of panic‚ and how the narrator reacts whilst panicking. T.S Eliot describes the context of his poem ‘Hysteria’ quite abstractly‚ but it is reasonably easy
