Analysis of the Cannibalism in A Madman’s Diary

Abstract

The main research direction of this thesis is to explore the interpretation of cannibal imagery on A Madman's Diary. The article will interpret the four-thousand-year concept of "cannibalism" through a view of a madman. This paper will be analyzed from four main parts, which are separately from biological, medical, cultural and philosophical aspects. It is concluded that cannibalism is not merely limited in literal meaning, but has different explanations.
