In this episode, Anabelle, Chuchu, and Jaslyn dive into Steven Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) and how it explores overwhelming themes of abuse, trauma, and mental health. Teenagers afflicted with these struggles are represented in various characters in the film and the situations they face. We discuss primary aspects of cinematic and theatrical devices, symbolism, quotes, music, and representations of social issues in the book and film.
