In the morning, I woke and for a moment, I didn’t have any thoughts about the war. That lasted until I went to the toilet. As I replaced the spent roll of toilet paper, I noticed that the motion of reloading the toilet paper rod was almost the same as reloading a clip in my weapon. I had read somewhere that life consists of what you think about. I thought about war every day and all day. It seemed only numbers and listening to my aunt as she taught me about the Druid traditions broke my concentration

Sick and elderly people face a loss of dignity when sanitation facilities are not available in the near vicinity. Open defecation also strikes out the privacy of an individual which is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution.

Our society has institutionalized particular behaviors such as fixing our appearance, crying, belching, defecation, and flatulence deviant to perform in a public setting.

These seats were not enclosed individually as are modern toilet facilities, but rather in long rows quite close together. Lacking the

In other words, Shelley must have had real life experience with narcissism which she subsequently used as template for Victor Frankenstein. Freudian id, ego, and superego are the epitome of the creature that Mary Shelley created as a

According to Bakhtin, degradation which is a basic operation of the grotesque is associated with corporeality. It centres on “the lowering of all that is high, spiritual, ideal, abstract; it is a transfer to the material level, to the sphere of earth and body in their indissoluble unity” (19-20).
