"Tortured, Insecure, and Inner Confusion."

The New York Post argues that Marilyn Monroe was fighting with her inner confusion. They claim Monroe was scared she was going crazy and she was hopeless over her loneliness  The New York Post develops this claim by first examining “Le Nouvel Observateur,” a French weekly news. The French news surfaced pieces from Monroe’s private diary. The New York Post outlines Monroe’s deep journal entries. Monroe writes thoughts like “How would I like to be dead, absolutely non-existent,” and “Help. Help. Help. I feel like approaching when all that I want is to die.” Lastly, the author illustrates Monroe’s mental instability by stating “she smashed a chair against a window and threatened to cut her wrists.” The author’s purpose was to inform people about Monroe’s depression and longing for death in order to sway their opinion about her death case. This work is significant because it shows the side of Monroe that no one knew existed.
