Very often in our everyday speech there are words whose meanings we do not know or do not fully understand. The reason for this may be either the novelty of the term, or the fact that it is obsolete and no longer widely used in the language. Bedlam is one of those words. In the article we will give its characteristics, and also talk about the television series of the same name.
Bedlam is how?
The roots of this saying are very deep. It can be assumed that the word originally came from the English pronunciation of the term Bedlam (short for Bethlehem), which meant "Bethlehem". However, the people so called the hospital for the mentally ill named after St. Mary of Bethlehem. She appeared in London in 1547. Since then, bedlam has been the name applied to any psychiatric hospital (asylum for the insane). Later, the meaning of the word became more extensive and today it means any very noisy and disorderly place.
Bedlam is confusion and chaos. You will not make a mistake by using the word exactly insuch a context. Bedlam can often be called an untidy room or a room in which objects are located very chaotically, or even scattered across the floor. In another case, it can be said that bedlam is directly related to very noisy establishments, even if all the objects in it are quite ordered.
Application of the word in art
Since 2011, the British series "Bedlam" has been released in the UK, which tells the story of a man named Jad Harper. He is able to see the ghosts of dead people, as well as the very moment of their death.
Jed's attention is attracted by the attack of ghosts on the hotel, which previously housed the most popular hospital for the mentally ill in the UK - "Bedlam". The plot of the series is based on the strange and frightening events that take place in a former hospital.
The television series was released in 2011. To date, there are already 2 exciting seasons of the film.
