Scottie and Theodore’s sadistic tendencies are masked by their obsession with love. Scotty and Theodore convey the characteristics of men who are hopelessly in love with the women they are with, but in reality they simply want to control them. Vertigo and Her’s aestheticization of violence and the protagonists’ need for control are emphasized by the fact that both Scottie…

As a result, getting in and out of bed or getting into bed may be very challenging for a patient with BPPV.

and empty room, that’s if it even is a room, pretty sure I just fell into the void because of how long I was falling. I can’t really see if I am falling or not, probably because I don’t feel anything and I can’t look around because of the sharp vertigo. I can’t even describe what I can see looks like because it’s nothing, not black nor white. Heck I’m sure if I could look around I wouldn’t even see my own body. It feels like I’m in the most famous song on vocaloid called ECHO. With how I…
