Donny becomes a Dante of his own broken psyche, tracing his descent into abject self-loathing. The stalking is only the first circle of Hell; his torment is the onset of painful memories triggered by Martha's pursuit.
One of the show's most haunting images is Donny trying not to scream during a sexual assault by a TV writer. The assault reveals a dark, predatory side masked behind mentorship.
