1) At the end of the novel, are you convinced that Teddy is really Andrew Laeddis, or do you believe he has been brainwashed into believing this by Dr. Cawley?
2) Teddy states several times that the patients on Shutter Island remind him of the prisoners he liberated from Dachau. What other similarities does he draw between Shutter Island and the Nazi death camps?
3) How does the hurricane affect the plot of the novel?
4) Assume that Dr. Cawley and Dr. Sheehan are telling Teddy the truth. How does it change our perception of the events of the novel to know that everything up until that point has been staged? Why do you think Lehane bothered telling you this story?
5) Dr. Cawley and Dr. Sheehan claim to be humanitarians. But the novel is filled with brutality. Where does the novel find glimmers of humanity? What do these moments tell us about the novel’s worldview?
