“Fact has been suppressed by fiction, and the fiction is much more interesting to a lot of people.” Lizzie Borden, a thirty-two year old daughter of Andrew Borden and step-daughter of Abby Borden, was accused of murdering her father and stepmother. Lizzie Andrew Borden was innocent. She did not kill her father and stepmother for a number of reasons. Lizzie Borden was innocent because there was no physical evidence, she wasn’t nervous during the investigations, and there was no reason for her to kill them. Lizzie Borden was an innocent, desolate woman who deserved better than being accused for a serious case. Lizzie Borden did not injure her father and stepmother for the same reasons you wouldn’t kill your parents.

Ignorance can and will lead to paranoia. When one chooses to ignore facts or evidence in in favor of their preexisting views, they will become misinformed, uneducated and ignorant. In the past and also in today’s society, people have been known to fear having their beliefs proven wrong, and choose the path of denial and paranoia instead of enlightening oneself with knowledge. Many refuse to seek and accept the truth in order to continue with their misconceptions and ignorance, as shown in the passages “Why I Wrote The Crucible”, The Crucible and “Don't Major in Intolerance”

Jackson “Jax” Teller-- portrayed by actor Charlie Hunnam—is the lead character in the FX television show Sons of Anarchy. Jax is the thirty year old chapter president of the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club Redwood Originals (Sutter, 2008). Jax is from the fictional town of Charming, California (Sutter, 2008). In the series opener we find Jax struggling to cope with being a new father and his illegal, often violent involvement in his club. The Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club Redwood Originals or SAMCRO for short are involved in gun running, extortion, and protection rackets (Sutter, 2008). When Jax’s son Able is born he becomes conflicted with the thought of the direction the club is headed and the legitimate direction he wants to move the club to (Sutter, 2008).

Elliot Rodger was the son of a mildly successful Hollywood director and a research assistant for a film company, who divorced shortly after his seventh birthday. While born into relative wealth, it was short-lived—Rodger's father worked only sporadically which resulted in substantial debt, and his mother spent much of her time tending to his special needs, and was thus often unable to take on extra work; needs which originated from Elliot’s manifest autistic symptomatology, as well as narcissism, anxiety, and apparent catatonic episodes at an early age that persisted--and indeed intensified—throughout his youth, which led to bullying at multiple schools, and later culminated in extremely antisocial behaviour during adolescence, such as impoverished sense of moral responsibility and impulsive aggression instantiated by, among other things, throwing coffee on women who rebuffed his attempts at courtship and young couples displaying affection toward one another. At 22 years old, Rodger lived in Isla Vista, a college town in Santa Barbara County, California.

Both the travel and company’s secret equation are dehumanizing and can be seen as a catalyst, at the very least, for the narrator’s break from reality into the throes of dissociative identity disorder (DID). Along with DID, the story brings up the issue of the narrator’s relationship with his father and the lack of healthy internalization of either the grandiose pole or idealizing pole presented by Kohut and Wolf (1978). The deficits the narrator lives with in terms of the two poles is then reflected in the way Tyler Durden, the personality that emerges as the narrator decompensates into DID, represents all of the things the narrator lacks. Rather than an empty depression (Kohut & Wolf, 1978), the new personality of Tyler has hostile, excessively

In the movie “The Deer Hunter” a psychological disorder is depicted in the film. This disorder is depicted on the main character of the film. In this film one see clearly what the disorder is and the symptoms that depict that it is indeed a disorder. Following what caused the character to get the disorder. What followed after, once he had the disorder? How it affected the character of the movie and those around him.

His second epiphany occurs when he shoots Tyler, and thus himself. On the first level, the narrator acknowledges his death instincts by confronting his fear of pain and death. He accepts Tyler’s ideas of experiencing death so as to be fully conscious of his physical existence. When he shoots Tyler, he does so with the awareness that he is shooting himself. This is the final step he needs to take in order to be fully aware of what he is. On the second level, by rejecting Tyler’s nihilistic ideas of destroying institutions and value systems, he chooses what values to stand for and thus creates his own purpose for himself. “In choosing his ethics, Man makes himself.” He also translates the belief in these values into the actual action of shooting Tyler, thus defining his existence through actual action. On the third level, by shooting Tyler, he assumes responsibility for all of Man, not just himself. He assumes responsibility for Man because he invents what Man should be: one who does not act in an uncaring and destructive manner towards others. On the fourth level, shooting Tyler allows the narrator to be defined in a way he wishes to be defined in the eyes of the “other”. Shooting Tyler is crucial towards removing the existence of Project Mayhem. He does not want Marla to find out about Project Mayhem because he will then lose his connections with her. It is important to the narrator to have a

“Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do?” (Easton Ellis). Are we considered evil by our action or thoughts? If we are constantly contemplating evil and horrific thoughts but do not act upon them, the initial thoughts may still influence our unconscious minds, which can then, in turn, affect our conscious thoughts and actions indirectly. Compare that to those who act upon their evil thoughts and therefore are more authentic to their natural and uninfluenced personality. Humans are strongly related to our savage animal brothers; however we do everything in our means to appear separate and civilized. Regardless of our attempt at separation, we still remain savage beasts by nature and suppressing our natural state only makes our

First off, it is important to understand that Tyler Terror was not always Tyler Terror. Once, he was Tyler M. Quinn (his more popular name came about later on in his life, when he became something horrendous). He was presumably a young boy when his schizophrenia first began to embed itself into his mind. He was about eight or nine years old. His paranoid behavior was dismissed as simply a child's fear of the bogeyman creeping in his closet. Tyler would lay in bed with his eyes and mind wide open, a blanket pulled up to his shoulders, and a flashlight under his pillow.
