After he uncovers Teddy’s paper world, the uncle reacts in a manner of ignorance and derision, mocking him for his decision to occupy himself with paper dolls. The uncle dubs Teddy as a “great big lummox … playing with paper dolls”, insulting Teddy for his hobbies with a tone of amusement and hysteria. In spite of Teddy’s agitation, the uncle prefers to make a mockery out of Teddy rather than accepting his unique hobbies, suggesting the uncle’s belief that Teddy’s activities are unfitting of someone of his age. In addition, Teddy’s uncle further aggravates Teddy by continuously ridiculing him, leading him to eventually destroy his treasured paper world. Despite Teddy’s attempts at validating the reality of his paper dolls, the uncle “burst into laughter, his cheeks the colour of a tomato.” Teddy’s uncle persistence in mocking Teddy implies his disapproval of Teddy’s world, believing that his world is ludicrous and absurd for someone of his age to be occupied with. The sustained laughter of Teddy’s uncle is explicit and deliberate, intended to warn Teddy against his immature hobby, an evident symbol of society’s expectation of
While controversial, this person, who could be in the middle of an average life, does not suddenly become less of a person Consider the second criteria of emotionality. Emotionality is one’s ability to feel and be affected by emotions. While all average individuals do possess emotions, it is worth mentioning that in certain cases, as with sociopaths, some may not have this capacity. These mentally ill individuals, while often able to mimic, are unable to genuinely feel a substantial proportion of the spectrum of human emotion, such as love, compassion, or remorse.... ...

Each individual has their own unique characteristic, this is what differs us from the rest. However, there are a select number of individuals who posses an extraordinary trait. This condition is normally characterized by the presence of at least two clear personality traits, which are referred to as alters. These alter of personalities produce multiple bodily functions, emotions, and reactions. This remarkable disorder is called, Dissociate Identity Disorder, or also acknowledged as multiple personality disorder. Medical Daily wrote that women tend to experience a higher risk to sexual abuse, therefore, the “women are nine times more likely to be diagnosed with DID”(Castillo), instead of men. However, in the movie, Split, Kevin (James McAvoy)

Beto is at a loss of his identity, he releases his anger on a defenseless child and woman and constantly drowns his problems with liquor to cloud the real dilemma. Whether it was the tragic event of his wife leaving or the sketchy “underground projects very few knew about” (Talamantes) something had undoubtedly affected him. He seems to hate that his son is flamboyant and lively, which could be due to the fact that Beto is not able to express himself in such a manner. For example, when there was a party right in his own home he decides to bitterly “stay in the garage while the celebration unfolded” (Talamantes) and curse at his deceased wife. Instead of mingling with the guest and drinking with other people he decides to stay isolated. When someone is not able to effectively coexist with other people it could be because that person has to work on themselves
People often think that D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder) is something made up, something that a person is just inventing in order to get attention; that statement couldn’t be more Incorrect. Dissociative Identity Disorder, formally known at Multiple Personality Disorder, is a dissociative disorder, not a personality disorder or a psychosis. D.I.D. is a severe form of dissociation, a mental process which produces a lack of connection in a person’s thoughts, memories, emotion, behavior, or sense of identity. D.I.D. is thought to stem from trauma experienced by the person with the disorder. The dissociative aspect is thought to be a coping mechanism; the person literally dissociates himself or herself from a situation or experience that is too violent, traumatic, or painful to assimilate with his or her conscious self.
Dissociative identity disorder, a condition that has plagued and altered the minds of those who were diagnosed for many years, represents the condition in which an individual displays multiple personalities that overpower his or her behavior around others and even alone. Such personalities or identities can have staggering differences between them even being characterized by a disparate gender, race, or age. One of the sides of them can even be animal-like and display feral qualities. Also, the disorder severs the connection between the victim’s sense of identity, emotions, actions, and even memories from their own consciousness. The cause for this is known to be a very traumatic experience that the person had gone through previously and fails to cope with it, thus they dissociate themselves from the memory in order to keep their mental state in one piece. All these results from the disorder do not begin to tell of the rest of the horrors that gnaw away at the affected human.
The narrator's life is filled with constant eruptions of mental traumas. The biggest psychological burden he has is his identity, or rather his misidentity. He feels "wearing on the nerves" (Ellison 3) for people to see him as what they like to believe he is and not see him as what he really is. Throughout his life, he takes on several different identities and none, he thinks, adequately represents his true self, until his final one, as an invisible man.
