Discussion Question (4)

Give an in-depth analysis of Lisa.

Lisa probably has the most extreme personality disorder; she is a sociopath. Sociopaths are often associated with murderers, serial killers, and any other felon who holds no mercy or regret. Lisa has no conscience and acts on impulse. When Lisa escaped for three days, she explains to the other girls how exciting it is in the real world and fascinates them with stories. She finds it fun to disobey the nurses and fills every week with a new and rousing event to disrupt routine. Susanna befriends Lisa and this is very destructive towards Susanna's sanity. Being around such an unstable and volatile person only causes more stress and anxiety to Susanna. I believe Lisa should be kept in a different ward more suitable for her disorder.
