what is fear?
fear of death. fear of madness. fear of fear ...
what is the common denominator between plath / woolf / septimus ...
first you just feel it ... u r different
then u realise they feel it
then u feel their reaction to that feeling
and then fear creeps in, seeps in, from the edges, slowly
like a dark ink stain
growing, almost imperceptibly
till they got to a phase where they 'knew' they were different
that that different made them deficient somehow
that 'they' laughed at ... all sorts of things
they begin to grope in the darkness of the stain for a label for the difference
then slowly they realised the label is madness
something to be ashamed of
failure
fall short
and all they want is escape
then the fear comes ...
