Quote
"Suicide euphoria" (Griffith 37).
Reaction
In the book Gail, Will's mother, said that this was scattered throughout the therapeutic literature. Euphoria is a feeling of happiness and confidence. when I read this I thought it was contradictory because when people normally think of suicide it is depressing and since euphoria is a feeling of happiness I just thought it was contradictory.
who experiences the euphoria? I need more context to understand the quotation.
