In Alias ​​Grace by Margaret Atwood, Dr. Simon Jordan is a psychologist who analyzes and talks to inmate Grace Marks with the ultimate goal of unraveling the truth behind the murder case of Thomas Kinnear and Nancy Montgomery. Parts of Grace's memory are completely missing, and through constant discussions with Dr. Jordan about her dreams and memories of the past, Dr. Jordan is trying to find a way around the memory blocks while examining the validity of Grace's claims and state psychological. Although Dr. Jordan is Grace's link to mental stability and truth, Dr. Jordan needs the same help as Grace to find himself, but his process of self-discovery is never completed due to an accident during the war that permanently damages his brain. .From the first meeting, Dr. Jordan interacted with Grace like no one else ever had. Dr. Jordan realizes that "this is going to be a very tough nut to crack" and that she has "little reason to trust anyone for a very long period of time" (Atwood 54). Society already has preconceived ideas about Grace, whether they are true or not. “In the paper they said I was illiterate, but I knew how to read something even then” (Atwood 27). For the most part, Dr. Jordan ignored the notions that society projected onto Grace. Instead of judging Grace, Dr. Jordan tries to understand and analyze her (Darroch). “Maybe I'll tell you lies, I say. He doesn't say: Grace, what an evil suggestion, you have a sinful imagination. He says: Maybe you will. Perhaps you will tell lies without meaning to, and perhaps you will even tell them deliberately” (Atwood 41). Grace and Dr. Jordan's relationship isn't just a step into... the middle of paper... the mysteries of her mind. Works Cited Atwood, Margaret. AKA Grace. New York: Anchor Books, 1977.
