the monster. After some research, I came to the conclusion that the mental disorder is most likely schizophrenia. Some of the symptoms of schizophrenia include: hallucinations, anxiety, depression, fear, and fatigue. Victor seems to have a majority, if not all, of these symptoms.

this is evident when she speaks to Prior in her hallucination and defensively argues against her addiction claiming “I’m not addicted. I don’t believe in addiction” (32), despite confessing to taking valium; “lots of valium” (32).

These types of interventions should be done in collaboration with a medical treatment plan as this has been shown from previous studies to maximize results. Once…

instigator in the plot to kill King Duncan (Jamieson). However, the ambition that she displays at the beginning of the play is sharply contrasted with the guilt she feels later on.
