## Resource

This is my 61th episode and my theme of the month is Manic March, where we analyze the manic female archetype in horror. The protagonist May, is characterized as "manic" primarily through her sudden, drastic shifts in energy and her increasingly erratic, obsessive behavior as her mental state deteriorates. While she begins the film as painfully shy and socially anxious, her "manic" qualities emerge as a response to repeated rejection. Guest Info: Oriana Nichelle - Where she covers all things horror and she is a third of the Never Split Up Podcast. https://linktr.ee/oriananichelle?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=ae938ac5-c6d4-4629-9806-c58b1396b580 Sources: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303361/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk https://horror.fandom.com/wiki/May_(2002) https://youtu.be/zO5pyeXJMck?si=j5309Y558w__kaYY https://www.ripleys.com/stories/living-doll
