I feel like people are overthinking this.

For the last time: Daniel got put in the mental hospital for killing a baby. the doctors know he killed a baby. he thinks he killed a groundhog. He did not get put in the mental hospital for killing a groundhog.

The doctors aren't making Daniel think he is blind for their own amusement. They aren't making fun of him. They. Are. OBSERVING. If a patient is not getting better through conventional methods, doctors change the methods. If those fail, non-conventional methods are applied. Making Daniel think he is blind is a way for them to OBSERVE what happens and change accordingly.

Daniel believes he is different, but not insane. He thinks he doesn't belong in the mental hospital.

This is getting annoying. I don't see why I have to explain all this over and over again in such detail. Besides, not everything has to be entirely realistic. If something you read doesn't spell everything out perfectly use your imagination. Abstract pastas with no meaning apart from ideas people attach to them are showered in praise, without the author having to try and construct a meaningful story. I haven't got any helpful feedback apart from the same "iT doEsN't mAke sENse" comments.

Fill in the gaps yourself. Me pointlessly inching through every little thing you don't understand is boring and monotonous. I'm not replying to anything else apart from comments on any other part of the pasta you want to talk about.
