Hey! I’m looking for a very specific kind of book. Does anyone know of a book in which a character gets super overwhelmed by others, and finally reaches their breaking point due to the pressure from other people? I’m making a script for competition comprised of different kinds of literature, and the common theme is academic pressure, particularly on stereotypically “gifted children.” However, the breaking point doesn’t have to be about academics (although it would be absolutely amazing if it was.) I just need an excerpt from a book in which a character dramatically snaps (basically has a breakdown due to the pressure, not necessarily a snap as in becomes insane, if that makes sense) because the weight of expectation breaks them (the more dramatic/dire/sad the better.) Again, SUPER specific, but I really need a piece like that to provide a climax for my script. If possible, page numbers would be greatly appreciated! Honestly, I don’t even know if a book like this exists, but if it does, thanks so much for helping me find it! <3
