| Summary: |
The purpose of this program is to illustrate, in narrative form, the behavior patterns of a young man who develops a psychosis that eventually leads to suicide. The program deals with the man’s thoughts and reactions to changes that are occurring in his life, portraying a man who thinks he is going insane and subsequently records his thoughts and feelings in diary form. The types of feelings and behavior changes illustrated include insomnia, depression, exhaustion, feelings of being possessed, and feelings of leading a double life. The young man gives these feelings an identity, calling them Horla. At the end of the presentation he decides that suicide is the only method of escape from the Horla. The name "Horla" derives from an 1887 short story of that name by Guy de Maupassant. |
