Four students die in a fire offscreen. We do not see their deaths, and have not been introduced to their characters. A baby is born and dies an hour later, also entirely offscreen.

There are period-typical discussions of mental illness. The main character's psychiatrist believes him to have delusions; he sees this as an insult.

The main character is violent. He is believed by his psychiatrist to be mentally ill, but is not and knows he is not. However, if you are sensitive to this topic, the situation may come too close for comfort.
