Radley is a man trapped in a number of different worlds. He is a man that grew up the child of a genius painter father and a mother suffering from schizophrenia. When his father leaves him his mother obsesses over the dirty child that has brought this loneliness into her life. Radley was never the same. Her obsession became his and in short amount of time he became as obsessed as his mother was. Washing his hands until they bled, and viewing himself as dirty and worthless, but with this also became an obsession to create perfection which he manifest in his art work as well as his plastic surgeries. His artwork speaks to his obsession and it has made him famous. His obsession comes to a head when at his art gallery show his mother attends, not to support but to remind him that he is still, after all these years, nothing. In doing this the mutilation that Radley felt inside of him forces it’s way out. It is not until he is forced to look at himself for who he is, not who he believes she has made him, which he begins to heal. In the end we see a broken child grow into a broken man and realize that sometimes we don’t get a happy ever after because our mind won’t take us there.
