Texual Analysis 'Girl, interrupted'

 Dramatic scene from 'Girl, interrupted'



In this scene Suesanna finds Daisy's body hanging in the bathroom the morning after being invited to stay in Daisy's home for the night because Suesanna and Lisa have escaped from a female insane asilum. Daisy had recently been distcharged from the same place a few weeks before, after being 'cured'. Daisy has killed herself due to being tormented by a jealous Lisa the evening before. This scene has a realistic shock value and really grab the audience emotionally, in the same way 'This Is England' does. Throughout the film, Suesanna in an easily relatable character as her past is pretty normal for a young woman in the 60's and even now in the 21st century, so when Suesanna experiences extreme emotion, we can feel it too. So in this scene, for example, when Susanna is calling Daisy's name, the audience can feel the same anxiousness building as she searches the house, that Suesanna would be feeling at the time.
