But this system…

The rotting city is no longer suffering from the physical disease but now an internal disease of greed and madness for power.

In Marcia Gaudet’s Carville: Remembering Leprosy in America, the idea is presented that “counterstories seek to alter the dominant group’s assumptions as well as the oppressed person’s perception of herself,” serving as “narrative acts of insubordination” (Nelson qtd in Gaudet, emphases in original).

The obsession is the source of the individual’s fears, such as germs or death, and the ritual is the practices one performs, such as washing one’s hands or blinking a certain number of times, as an alleviation of their obsession.
