Anders and Lacan's notion of the Real

Anders is lost between the world of his work and his personal life. As the realization hits that the bank is being robbed, Anders loses site of what is really happening and sees this not as reality but as one of the many books sitting on his desk that he is forced to read. The last thread of reality snaps with the word “capiche” and he loses control of his senses. Anders has reached Lacan’s notion of the Real.
“Lacan’s notion of the Real” is all that is beyond what we are taught by society, what falls outside that realm. Anders is outside that realm of ideology of society. As the bullet hits his brain, his thoughts don’t conform to what society would tell us they should. Tyson tells us the Real is “the uninterruptible dimension of existence; it is existence without the filters and buffers of our signifying or meaning making systems.” This is where Anders is. He is without filters or buffers. For that brief moment he is outside what the world would call “reality”. All the ideology of society would dictate he keep his mouth shut, do as the bank robbers tell him and he’ll stay alive. He in essence loses it with the cliché, “capiche”.
This piece of literature was hard to read because I lost a family member to a Bullet in the Brain almost exactly 10 years ago. As a surviving member, I wonder what thoughts he had before the bullet did its damage, was he scared, did his life “pass before his eyes”, was he thinking of his family.
