For example, some think that she may be experiencing her own dream and the story takes place in her sleep. However, I believe she suffers from a mental disorder called psychosis due to different events suggesting this throughout the story. ]]> 2017-11-09 19:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_p_helms/cclyzbo50fev/wish/205477540 Thesis https://padlet.com/taylor_p_helms/cclyzbo50fev/wish/205477644 Although these behaviors overlap with those of postpartum depression, the narrator clearly has schizophrenia because of her mood, behavioral, and psychological symptoms.
