Titel 8 Bad or Mad? Going Mental

This course revolves around texts with characters whose behaviour in one way or the other deviates from the norm. Either because the characters have been diagnosed with a mental illness, or because their behaviour violates all socially acceptable norms. What can explain those kinds of behaviour? Genes or elements in the surroundings? In other words, is it due to nature or nurture? We will also include Svendsen's four kinds of evil in an attempt to classify the characters presented in the texts.
