First draft introduction for my contextual review.

Has Theodore's mental health been influenced by his relationships within his family?

Theodore Garman was a troubled person, who suffered from the mental illness of Schizophrenia. I was greatly influenced by his inscriptions within textbooks, as they were dark, sinister yet intelligent. I will be looking at the relationships Theodore had with his close ones, especially his father, Jacob Epstein, the inscriptions he made in textbooks, the letters he wrote to his mother whilst he was in Italy and the mental suffering he endured. This will allow me to further understand if his mental health was influenced by family relationships.
