Chaotic effect expected from “A Madman’s Diary” – Consideration from cognitive linguistics 16


 Passersby and children will cannibalize, while they also fear being eaten. They are suspicious of each other. This symptom represents disturbance of ego (Table 6). Self-other consciousness loses shape and becomes fuzzy, and therefore one feels that their secrets and ideas are known to everyone.

[Problem analysis] This is a gate and only a checking station. They participate in the gang and encourage and check each other, and therefore they would never cross the gate.

[Reasoning] They properly set up and put madness upon Madman. This is their usual practice.
