I believe everybody needs that one person in their life that they share a romantic intimacy with, the old man lost his and who knows if that was the reason he attempted suicide. But just because the old man was lonely and old doesn’t justify what the young waiter was saying. “A Haunted House” by Virginia Woolf was also confusing and it
Ivan Ilych experiences this stage when he realizes that his condition is much worse than he wants to believe. He tries to rationalize the fact that he is terminally ill. “The pain did not grow less, but Ivan Ilych made efforts to force himself to think that he was better” (641). He does not want to relate himself to those who are mortal even though we all eventually die. "If I had to die like Caius I would have known it was so. An inner voice would have told me so, but there was nothing of the sort in me and I and all my friends felt that our case was quite different from
The lawyer however developed some health complications after managing to beat the deadline and file the case.

Victor disliked death and suffering in life because he had lost his mother and it had been too big of a shock for Victor to handle. Because of this, Victor was fascinated with the chance of being able to bring his mother back, and to end all suffering. Victor’s mind grew with ambition because he knew that he had the knowledge and the power to do so. Eventually, Victor’s mind had started to take over. It is evident when he states, “Every night I was oppressed by a slow fever, and I became nervous to a most painful degree; the fall of a leaf startled me, and I shunned my fellow creatures as if I had been quality of a crime” (Frankenstein 34).
If I had to identify with a particular form of oppression it would be ableism. Ableism is “a set of practices and beliefs that assign inferior value (worth) to people who have developmental, emotional, physical or psychiatric disabilities” (Maggie, 2014). As I had mentioned earlier, I suffer from bouts of debilitating depression that render me unable to function for a period of time. Unfortunately, my boyfriend is just one of many who have dismissed my depression as laziness because they just don’t understand depression. They assume that I should be just as able-bodied as them since they can’t “see” my disability and use oppressive words like lazy and ‘no good for nothing’ which only leads to further denigration of an already awful feeling.
Maybe suffering from depression or insecurities or just felt overwhelmed with life in general. Lines eleven and twelve read “I was much too far out all my life and not waving but drowning.” I think this man had many internal struggles that he had a hard time dealing with and he didn’t know how to get help with them. Maybe he purposely swam out to far to see if the observers would help him? Maybe he unconsciously committed suicide to see if a friend would intervene. This man was metaphorically out of his depth.
He recently committed suicide because he could not handle being bullied by some of the other students, and Lewis fells that he is to blame for not helping the kid in need. Lewis is extremely affected in his adult life by being bullied as a kid. It has made him an insecure man, that can’t stand up for him self, and he is not able to face his problems in life. He fells weak and has a low self a steam. “Survival of the fittest”, his mom always told him.
In some cases, the person being bullied feels there is no escape from the bully, so it leads to suicide. The bullies make the victim feel so worthless and feel so bad about themselves that they don't even want to deal with the pain, so they choose to end it all. With health complications also come self-esteem problems. The harmful words and actions from the bully lead to the victim feeling as if they are never worthy of anybody else's time. The victim starts to distance themselves from friends, assuming they are not good enough.
The victim might be suffering from the loss of their loved ones and they don’t know what to do without them so they just kill themselves since there are no more reasons for him/her to live. Moreover, some of them who kill themselves because of loneliness believes in the afterlife, that they might see their loved ones there, to be with that person forever (Neuman). The sufferer might also be lonely because of bullying. Bullying always happened either at school or on the internet but mostly at school. Victims of bullying are always wondering what they’ve done to deserve this, to make people hate them so much.
