Just say a few thoughts

The dean wrote on Silas's medical record a very good sentence "what hurt his soul". The mentally ill are just a group of poor people whose souls have been hurt. They can't be simply cured with drugs and find their souls. The wound is the most important.
In the film, Silas's mental fluctuations also appeared several times. It is not difficult to guess the reason for his madness, but when he finally showed it completely, he couldn't help crying. The decision he made was not right or wrong. It can only be said that what he made at that moment was a very extreme decision, and it was his extremeness towards others and even himself that hurt his soul.
So, no matter what you do, don't let yourself make extreme decisions, because the results are basically the corresponding extremes. Think of Alsace, the tragic fate also begins with an extreme decision.
