As a society, we are fascinated by fictional psychopaths. Humankind has an ‘ongoing… fascination with tales of gruesome murders and evil villain. Popular culture abounds with depictions of the mad and the bad; and aberrant psychology has proved a fertile source of such material to the novelist and the reader alike. Perhaps no single disorder holds as much morbid cultural appeal as psychopathy.

There is no question… that readers feel empathy with and sympathy for fictional characters and other aspects of fictional worlds’, yet it is difficult to see how one can empathise and identify with a character who is himself incapable of empathy. If empathy and identification are both the goal and the reward of reading literature, then we are left with a striking ambivalence which needs to be explored.

bbook:

One morning, David Lynch awoke to hear his intercom buzzing. A man’s voice on the other end spoke, referring to him as “Dave.” Lynch answered, “Yeah?” and the man said, “Dick Laurent is dead.” Lynch said, “What?” but there was no one at the door. And he’d never heard of a Dick Laurent. He looked out to the large window on the other side of his house by the door, but again, no one there.

A typical morning for the man who has provided us with some of the most powerfully psychological fright and pleasure? Maybe. An inspiration for one of his greatest films? Definitely. If a Lynchian universe all exists within the mind, somewhere between waking and consciousness, Lost Highway is that moment in a nightmare where your body begins to panic, knowing this is not quite reality but you’re stuck, you cannot wake yourself up and in dreams you must visualize physically prying your eyes open and screaming aloud in order to escape.

“I think what Fringe has been able to do frankly more often than not is tell stories that are emotional and surprising and compelling and human, and at the same time as weird as anything you’ll ever see. That to me, that’s magic”. - J.J. Abrams (x)

“Yes, the topic of Jane was the fly. There’s a reason why Walt wasn’t able to get the fly to that point. Walt, falling deep into his pill-aided dream, said the fly is going to “stay up there forever,” like he’s never going to resolve this issue with Jesse. Jesse took the proactive approach and reached for a ladder, trying to swat it. They went back and forth, Walt said “I’m sorry about Jane.” Jesse replied “it’s no one’s fault, we are who we are, we both would’ve been dead within a week. I miss her, though.” Jesse finally swatted the fly and that’s the end of their conversation, but the fly shows up in Walt’s imagination later.” - “Fly” review by Seth Amitin

“Yeah, of course it’s the way that you expected it to end…like, ‘happily ever after.’ That’s what’s beautiful, is that these people don’t live in the real world, they live in your minds and they live in your imagination and the reason you watch shows is so that you can hope. And at the end of the day, I think that’s what Joel was trying to say, is that there is hope.”
