Madness

Madness is an issue commonly addressed in literature, and my eleventh grade American Literature course spends time discussing ideas relating to madness, insanity, and how to define "normal" when we read Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Here are two paintings that deal with the topic of madness:  Theodore Gericault's Insane Woman (1822) and Edvard Munch's The Scream (1893).
