I\'ve been wondering for some time whether Rodya in \'\'CrimeAndPunishment\'\' should count. His fever starts before he commits the murders, and he\'s able to walk around for some time before he is incapacitated, rather than the illness coming on suddenly as is more typical of brain-fever. Moreover, although Rodya\'s physical state is certainly linked to his mental state throughout the novel, as far as I can remember the narration never quite says that the illness was caused by the chaos of his mind.

In short, the image and its removal was \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' the main focus of my previous comment. Which means that you, @/TripleElation, couldn\\\'t see the forest for the trees.
