I rally enjoyed this short story by Wallace because of its dark content. Knowing the fate of Wallace’s life, the story certainly did seem autobiographical. I think that the field of psychology has only in somewhat recent years discovered ways to ‘curb’ depression through the use of drugs and therapy and that before those vices, people just had to deal with being depressed because there was nothing they could really do about it. I can agree with Wallace’s stance on not wanting to take drugs to help him with his problem because drugs really just provide a chemical balance in your brain but on the other hand that’s a perfectly acceptable solution considering the alternative of taking your own life. I know people who have been subscribed these drugs for their depression and from my perspective on the improvement of their lives and their perspective of the improvement on their lives, it’s perfectly viable solution.
