The Origins of the Word “Gaslighting”: Scenes from the 1944 Film

-

You’re not going out of your mind. You’re slowly and systematically being driven out of your mind. —  Joseph Cotton  to  Ingrid Bergman  in the 1944 film  Gaslight . Remember when the word “gaslighting” elicited knowing nods from black and white film buffs… and blank stares from pretty much everyone else? Then along came 2016, and gaslighting entered the lexicon in a big way. Merriam-Webster  defines  it as the “psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator.” Of course, you knew that already! “Gaslighting” is unavoidable these days, five years after it was named 2016’s “most useful” and “likely to succeed” word by the  American Dialect Society ....

Masterfully sculpted some time between the first century BC and the first century AD, it depicts the eponymous Trojan priest in an agonizing struggle with the serpents that will kill one or both of his sons. The details of the tale vary depending on the teller: Virgil describes Laocoön as a priest of Poseidon who dared to attempt exposing the famous Trojan Horse ruse, and Sophocles describes him as a priest of Apollo who violated his vow of celibacy. Whichever version of the story he heard, the sculptor clearly drew from it powerful enough inspiration to impress Pliny the Elder, in whose Natural History the piece figures.
