Silent Patient ( story wise writing)
Now that I have finished reading “ the silent patient”, I am very amazed by the ability of the author who truly made me shocked at the end of the story that he happens to call psychological detective story… people prefer calling this book a novel but I bet it doesn’t last too long after reading the book or coming to an end that was shockingly twisted. Spoiler - The therapist would be the last person to be suspicious of as he made it sound very normal and approached to every scene and detail as a therapist whose main job is to help people. BUT never mind, nothing is the way it seems like in this life, Turkish people say if everything was the way it seemed like then water from sea would appear blue in our hands. This is what I felt when seeing the truth, the kind of truth I wouldn’t be able to imagine if Theo, the therapist didn’t reveal if at the end of the story. Or should I say the beginning of an end ? Do stories truly end or what we call “ ending” is a beginning of a new chapter…. He approached and had written it in a way that made him sound look or even appear like a “ real therapist” who carry feelings of morality, depth, integrity and truly has compassion and eager to help people who are in trouble… like Alicia….. A person, a human being, an artist who was mentally sick as the members of Grove called…. She was a psycho in their interpretations…. But who knows what drew her to kill him? Who truly has enough empathy to try to understand what she went through to do such a thing rather than being as anyone else and calling her a “ bitch” how easy it must be to call someone that… when you don’t know anything except what police officers or investigators say… As people or human beings who immediately call someone “guilty” without giving it a try to understand or question “ why” instead of “ how”… How did she kill him? What part of his husband’s body was shot? How did she appear when police found her? What did she say? Oh no, she stayed silent… that’s because she was a bitch who couldn’t accept what she’s done to her husband a “ victim”, “a man”…. How could’ve they known her husband killed her for the second time after she was killed by her dad and wasn’t able to recover fully… What did it take her to shot the gun ? What did she see in his face when she faced him?Did she even blink when she just pulled the trigger and shot him “ in the standards of this world” … What did she think of herself later?….. Finding herself unlucky because she was alive, at least she was breathing… Gabriel, her husband… was now dead… somewhere she’s not been yet, but there she was, standing right next to Gabriel who just breathed for the last time a minute ago or maybe seconds… she wasn’t okay enough to count the seconds that passed by… It turned out Theo, her therapist who was in Grave to help her, as a naive therapist…. You assume… till he said he was the one leaving her with a gun, enlightening her about what happened and leaving it to her to decide if she wanted her husband alive…. Without Theo even knowing that she was dead once and knowing she was betrayed by her husband, she saw that man on this husband’s face, “ his father” who wanted her to die… with all the feelings of heaviness, suppression she” just triggered the gun”…. But who was the real dead person in this story? Alicia, was breathing still, let alone “ being killed twice” by her loved ones… A dead alive woman who is breathing for the sake of human nature… who is dead and silent inside…till Theo, “naive therapist” comes in to introduce himself to all the patients… while only being interested in healing Alicia… How could a dead person carry the heaviness of a seeing man who enlightened her and changed her whole life in one evening? How could she comprehend why Theo was there again, waiting to meet her, showing his acting skills to Alicia, a dead alive woman… and healing her in the interpretation of his language…. Theo was right at the end of the story…. As he said in the very early chapter of his writing… we are drawn to this profession because we are damaged- we study psychology to heal ourselves, whether we are prepared to admit this or not…. He was the last person to be suspicious of even if his part of the story was revealed by him…. Alicia had to lie because she knew that Theo was the person who changed her whole life or rather ended in a very dramatic way… Theo, I hope you will show us the rest of your story because I know you are still there, just about to be discovered by your amazing author Alex Michaelides. Call it an intuition.
