Words are the most incredible thing in the world. They create, mend, empower, transform and build, but most importantly, they have power. While in some cases this is a beautiful thing, for Xavier Walker words were instead a power play. His computer screen was a fortress, and Xavier knew extremely well that when he hid behind it he held full power. The words grew harsher and harsher as he typed, and the power bubbled inside him.

178), Lacan argued that hysteria is the question of femininity itself, which can be formulated as “what is a woman?”. This also applies to male hysterics; the term “Woman” does not designate a biological essence but a position in the symbolic order (Evans: 80). There is no female equivalent of a highly prevalent symbol such as the Phallus.

The Police The Whitechapel (H) Division of Scotland Yard played a key role in creating an image of Jack the Ripper and in aggravating tensions between the stories told by the press and the public of Whitechapel.
