Hallucination

Meld The dance “Hyperselves” was probably my favorite of the four performed. It was very dramatic and somewhat hard to follow and watch. They is why I loved it though. The dance started off the a girl and a guy and he looked to be inspecting her every move and every detail of her body. Then the sounds start, it was not music but unrecognizable whispering, at times it sounded almost Russian. There were other sounds mixed in with the whispers and it made the mood quite chaotic. I did not…

nationwide about 125 people with mental illness have died in the hands of a police officer in the U.S. Another interpretation of what Harrison was going through at the moment the police encounter him could’ve been symptoms such as hallucinations and disorganized behaviors. Hallucinations involve sensory experiences that might seem real to the person, so Harrison could’ve perceived the police officers as somebody else not much as authoritative figures.

In the same way Pi’s phantom smells cause mental issues, trauma and fatigue trigger auditory hallucinations.…

The hallucinations that are heard can either be…

Similarly, in The Tragedy of Macbeth, Macbeth does everything in his power to get what he wants, including things that are manifestly evil. Shakespeare’s motifs of hallucinations, prophecies, and violence help develop the theme that acting on impulsive human desires can lead to extreme negative consequences. The use of hallucinations show the consequence of guilt in Macbeth’s life and further convey obliquely the important message that acting sensible will lead to a more fulfilled life. After…
