Question: using quotes from the depressed person to support your claims, Why does David Foster Wallace leave the narrator un-named? How does this affect the way readers see her illness? Do we get a sense of the narrator's past and how it affects her life in the present? How so? How does the point of view in which the story is told affect our view of the un-named narrator? Is there any chance that the protagonist doesn't want to get better? It's clear that she has the will to do so by seeking help, but is there any reason why she may not want to actually let go of her feelings besides the fact that they are traumatic? Do her feelings keep her emotionally protected so that she doesn't have to potentially be hurt? What tone or mood does the story create? What creative techniques do David Foster Wallace implement to make this tone and/or mood?
