This is my conclusion and it brings together the three strands of my research. I highlight the gap in scholarship and explain how my project will connect dissociative amnesia with the madman unreliable narrator in fantasy.

This is my broader paragraph and serves as an introduction. I talk about the general relationship between Fantasy and Psychology.

This is my third and final body paragraph and it focuses on the narrative technique of the unreliable narrator. I examine different types of unreliability to show how distorted perception can represent trauma and memory loss in fantasy.

In my previous assemssment, I was criticised for being too broad with my reasearch topic and questions, that is way I narrowed it down from a general research into trauma with literary techniques to just one technique (unreliable narrators) and one trauma (dissociative amnesia)

This is my second paragraph and focuses specifically on dissociative amnesia. I explain its clinical background and its fictional portrayal through various media.

The only 2 ai tools I utilised for this lit review are: Google Translate and Google Ai overview while browsing for sources.
