Mask You Live In Psychology

The film King of Masks deals with and challenges the feudal idea that men are superior to women; this ideology, as the film portrays, results in alienation, tragedy and bitterness for girls in Chinese society and particularly the protagonist Doggie.

When something consumes you such as a society and tells you what you have to be, how do you avoid the mask? The poem “We Wear the Mask” by Paul Dunbar and the novel “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury both use a mask as a symbol. The mask symbolizes how closed off people are, and how they hide themselves and their emotions from society.

The narrator is masked because people see in him as what they want to perceive him to be. Masking, in this meaning, has a strong sense of racial prejudice. Whites rarely see black people as individual human beings, as showing during the battle royal. Another meaning of masking is suggestion of separation from society. While the narrator is in his hole, he is not there mentally, but he is there physically. He cannot be seen by society. He is masked because he chooses to remain away. Masking, in this meaning, is similar to hibernation, with the narrator’s choice to remain in his cave and think.

The nature of the self is what controls one's instincts like reacting violently and it is largely influenced by internal and external factors including destructive societal pressure. In the documentary The Mask You Live In, it provides the idea that masculinity in modern society is highly emphasized, causing several destructive effects.

As a result of these masculinity "Rules", men always tend to hide away their emotions afraid that it will challenge societal beliefs. Over a long-term, boys who endure these external pressures experience longlasting toxic outcomes including becoming self-enclosed.

Masks and identity are a huge part of The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman. They’re used in many different cases and in different situations to conceal the character's true identity to provide protection or to help characters relate to others. Masks are also used to take away identity in a way that's harmful. Ones identity is a very important part of who they are and the loss of identity can cause a lot of personal destruction. One instance shows a positive outcome of the masks when Vladek wears a pig mask to hide the fact that he is jewish so he can talk to the polish man on the train to get home safely. This is an example of how the masks are used to provide protection and conceal one's true identity.

The mask you live in, just from the title I could tell that this documentary was going to be a good one. From what we have watched so far I have found this documentary to be very interesting and unique.
