Psychosis of Madness: Mad Hatter

  We will now be moving from monsters and their influence in our social as well as our cultural lives and look into the beginnings of the psychological and practical influences on some of the characters we know from childhood stories and what the psychosis of being "mad" typically is represented in movies and our perceptions of if through these different channels.

 Some of you may be unhappy with the change, but this is how the Halloween movie blogs will end with a bang, pardon the expression. But the last bits of the movie blogs before October ends will be educational and intriguing to some minds who enjoy the works of Burton and Lewis Carroll. I know I do, and so do I.

 In this blog we will work on the development of the Mad Hatter. This might include some famous phrases like "mad as a hatter" or "why is a raven like a writing desk?" for those who understand their hidden meanings. The Mad Hatter is a common character from Alice In Wonderland which was written in the Victorian-Edwardian Era. The Mad Hatter can often be the arch-enemy of Bruce Wayne as he is a psychotic nutcase like the joker, only more nuttier.

  The story about the Mad Hatter would be that he did serve the White Queen for a time being before Wonderland was taken over by the Red Queen, according to the original story. He tells Alice that it is always tea time for him and his companion, the March Hare, because he spent too much time trying to sing for the Red Queen once. She was going to cut off his head for her impatience, but he cleverly escaped the prison cell. So he has had tea for a number of years and it will always remain the same tea time forever more. But how did the question of the Hatter came to be? Some sources say the the "Mad as a Hatter" phrase was the coining term for the creation of the Mad Hatter. But some sources indicate the original hat makers often inhaled mercury fumes while working on creating those fashionable hats of the Victorian Era.

  The DC comic version of the Mad Hatter may be entirely different than the eccentric Hatter we know from Wonderland. This Had Hatter took the idea from the books but he became a notorious super villain in the Batman comics. His name was Jervis Tech and he creates many inventions for his darker purposes of haunting Gotham City. While he was seen in the 1948 issue of Batman, many people have drawn him much darker as the years go by. The Jervis Tech Mad Hatter is a multitude of many things, a scientist, a pedophile, or an inmate of the asylum.

 The Mad Hatter could be a tool for many things and symbolize many things in the modern society. From a hat maker to a lunatic or somewhere in between. Based on my conclusions, a Mad Hatter is in fact a symbol for the insane. He can function properly in society but each person has their own tick. So I advise you of the modern generation, avoid all people who are Mad like those Hatters.
