The last prompt assigned for this course, the critical analysis was based on the short story “Diary Of A Madman” by Nikolai Gogal. This is definitely by far one of the most unique pieces of text I have ever read. With the use of different literary techniques, Gogol does a phenomenal job of presenting the idea of mental illness and how it was perceived in olden times (the Mid-1800’S).
