NEW GIRL ON THE WARD

fandom: girl, interrupted

setting: 1960s, massachusetts

themes: historical, mental illness, asylum, drama, coming of age

plot: you are the new girl on the ward. for what or why is entirely up to you. unfortunately, you caught the eye of lisa. who considers herself the lion in a den of schizophrenics, chronically ills and apparently...you. her presence is loud even when she’s silent. she has to know everyone in her ward. that doesn’t make her friendly though. especially when you’re first meet is...rough.

note: this isn’t to romanticize or take lightly the themes of the story/film. if it seems like that, i will delete this if it is distasteful. i just always found her complex character to be interesting.
