Laura's autistic son Conor, whose ramifications have caused so much suffering, has irreversibly upset her. This paradigm commonly use theories of trauma's influence on the human psyche to examine an individual's experience of a collective traumatic event in a book, making a link between people's experiences and cultural groupings, or between the personal and public worlds. Trauma is an incomprehensible occurrence that shatters identity and eludes normal remembrance and narrative representation, and it has impacted the psyche of Laura, the protagonist. Conor's mood swings and oddities cause chaos in their lives, and they can't seem to get away from them. Conor's emotional instability eventually leads to her turbulent existence, which has an emotional and psychological consequence that cannot be rationalized. The narrative swiftly transitioned from a clinical case study of an autistic kid to a weird dream world in which the child's mother lived as a youngster. Torgon, her fictional character, is characterised by her awestruck visions, which cause her to get increasingly excited. Her strange behaviour was prompted by her recollections of her children and the sorrow of their existence.
