Losing Briony's mind

Jefferson Muncy – Visions | Dark Beauty (darkbeautymag.com)

In the end you get to know that Briony has a form of dementia. Her mind has always been an important thing for her because in her youth she always wondered if other people would also think like her and if they were not secretly robots in a human body. Her imaginative mind also caused a crime, which Robbie and Cecilia were the victim of. I think it’s kind of remarkable that she loses parts of her mind, because her mind was always the thing on which she was relying. It was the fundament of her books and everything she has done, the good and the bad. I’m not sure if it particularly stands for something but I just think it’s a remarkable thing.

I specifically chose this picture because it kind of visualizes dementia in my opinion. Because your mind is still there but it’s also a bit gone. That’s also how dementia feels for Briony, she loses parts of her mind and wants to be prepared for that.
