Identity and Loss of Self: Alzheimer’s disease inherently raises questions about continuity of identity. The film exploits this by making Deborah’s transformations literal: if dementia can erase a person, what happens if something else takes over? Deborah’s episodic changes—moments of lucidity, bizarre outbursts, and instances of physical violence—ask whether identity is fragile and how the body can become a site of foreign agency.

The film also explores the theme of Alzheimer's and its effects on patients and their families. Deborah's Alzheimer's is portrayed as a gradual decline into confusion and disorientation, which makes her eventual possession all the more believable and terrifying. thetakingofdeborahlogan20141080pwebdld full
