The Bell Jar chapter 15-16

The new asylum that Esther goes to is much nicer than the state hospital.  It has a huge property with tennis courts and lots of land for them to walk around.  There are different buildings each for the level of depending on the severity of your case.  The doctors there really were concerned for her and talked to her in a better way.  They actually paid attention to her and gave her treatment that would actually help her instead of just doing the first thing they could think of.  Dinner was much more formal and there were more options.  She was able to have a little more freedom there but not as much.  If she had stayed at the state hospital then things most likely would never have gotten better.  She wouldn’t have been treated as well and just pushed aside, they would have never treated how she should be treated and ignored her.
