Mrs.Thorwald is sick and is constantly needing attention from Mr.Thorwald; as a result, Mr.Thorwald murders her. In 1950s society, women were the ones that were supposed to provide for their men at home, not the other way around. Hitchcock handles the murder in a peculiar way, painting Mr.Thorwald as a seemingly normal person and only providing one reason for Thorwald’s decision to murder his wife: the fact that she is sick and useless to him. Similarly, the newly-wed couple has the same relationship dynamic. The wife, who is never given a name, is constantly calling her husband Harry back to bed.

It smelled like fifty million dead cigars. It really did. I wasn't sleepy or anything, but I was feeling sort of lousy. Depressed and all. I almost wished I was dead.

In his comedic novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ken Kesey uses the motif of laughter as a tool to break the order of the Combine.

One afternoon, the Big Nurse makes the decision to reduce the amount of cigarettes each patient can use. This renders the men unable to play poker, a social game.

She shows her first bit of insanity when she says, “Had he not resembled my father as he slept, I had done’t” (2.2.13). Lady MacBeth was so willing to kill Duncan for her husband to become king. Her insanity continues affects her so bad that she says, “...all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand” (5.1.39). She has so much bad and kept it in that nothing can fix her causing her to go mentally insane.

Both King Lear and Sunset Boulevard scrutinize the idea of the progressive madness taken on by main characters, King Lear and Norma Desmond. Their insanity is taken on through different, self-imposed reasons. For King Lear, the King, himself, is at fault as he idly watches, in a credulous role, as his daughters steal his power. Likewise, Norma Desmond plummets to the ground, along with her acting career, as she is quickly overlooked with the introduction of voice into the film industry. Through ignorance and egocentrism, both characters are at fault for their own deterioration, and eventual madness.

The first example relates to Caleb, which is where Caleb and Catherine are arguing in the kitchen and both are putting each other down and Caleb loses his temper and hems Catherine up toward the wall and is yelling at her about respecting him and blames Catherine for his porn addiction (Kendrick, 2008). The second example relates to Catherine, after Caleb’s actions of the kitchen disputes she tell him that she wants out of the marriage (Kendrick, 2008). Both of these two examples of Caleb’s and Catherine’s degenerative communication spiral is related to Stewart’s (2012) information regarding degenerative cycles are eagerly obvious when a relationship starts disintegrating due to distrust feeing distrust, defensiveness soaring which causes the relationship to worsens (p 404). The third example relates to Catherine, when Catherine pursues an emotional affair or connection to her coworker, Doctor Gavin (Kendrick, 2008).

(27) These brutal statements alone show the pure abhorrence that is ebbing out of the town’s citizens. Plus, when Melinda, the little girl, first sees Drummond, she gasps and exclaims fearfully, “It’s the Devil!” (36) Drummond’s character also seems very unsympathetic at the beginning of the book. When he gets Brady on the stand, he ruthlessly batters him with questions and even goes so far as to embarrass and mock Brady.

The second way June gets bullied is physically. June gets beat up really bad and doesn’t tell her mom. The last way June gets bullied is from her emotions. She gets scared at night. If someone is bullying you stick up for yourself.

Phillip pulls Melanie out of the comforts of her bed and drags her into the bathroom, shutting the door, and leaving their toddler daughter to scream and cry on the other side. Each hit and kick to Melanie’s face and body is just punishment

The first successive scene I would like to point out is one towards the beginning of the film. Eve was talking to her sister Cesily about how she saw her father and Mrs Maddie (another woman) having sex in the shed while her mother, family and friends were inside the house. Eve was clearly distraught and emotional, telling her sister what she saw and Cisely stops her and says no that 's not what you saw or what happened. The camera then pans from them and goes back in time to the incident. It 's almost as if paned and move in a lazy Susan type of motion.

When Mr. Udall visited the doctor’s office, he complained about how the medications did’t make him feel better, asking the OCD doctor, “Is this as good as it gets?” (As Good as It Gets). An example of when the medications fail Mr. Udall is when he takes Carol out to dinner and makes an inappropriate and callous comment on her appearance. Despite taking the medications and hoping to have a perfect night with Carol, Mr. Udall still gives into the nerves and anxiety of his OCD and unintentionally offends his date. On the other hand, more emotional and personal relationships and experiences throughout the story helped ameliorate Melvin’s symptoms.
