In the movie Insomnia, the main character, Will Dormer daydreams, has hallucinations, and flashbacks often throughout the movie. This attributed to his everyday life by causing him to space out and veer off track. These symptoms appear to be most similar to those of the insomnia disorder. Insomnia is not only the inability to get sleep, stay asleep, or get a good quality of sleep, but is also an altered state of consciousness. Many factors that can contribute to insomnia include medical or psychiatric illness, sleep disorders, medications, the environment and even poor sleep habits. Sometimes depression and anxiety can also contribute to this disorder as well. Some symptoms of this may include daydreaming, fatigue, drowsiness, confusion, tension headaches, anxiety, hallucinations, flashbacks, sleep deprivation, light sensitivity, and distressing memories and dreams.

This establishes a motif of the stained glass window in General Stern wood’s home in the first chapter of the novel and is an appropriate motif in dictating Marlowe’s knightly role in the novel. The stained glass that is reflected in the novel places Marlowe in the position of the knight as it shows a knight who strives to reach a woman to set her free. The fact that he stares at the glass makes him develop the need to offer assistance. This motif is suitable because it sets the stage for what is to take place in the aftermath when Marlowe rescues Carmen. Secondly, Chandler tries to connect Marlowe with the knightly personality from the beginning of the novel that he intended to name his detective the modern knight and a brave man fighting for General Sternwood. He takes the role of the servant to Sternwood’s lord and therefore, in the knightly terms, it is sufficient to say that Marlowe is striving to find justice. Moreover, he is dedicated to rendering his services in the line of duty with much loyalty and honor despite the sexual and financial temptations that come his way. Like the ancient knights, Marlowe has deeply invested in his personal code of chivalry that contain among others, the need to overcome the sexual temptation of whatever magnitude that comes his way. Lastly, as a representation of the modern-day knight, Marlowe comes out in the novel as a tough detective and a brave individual
