Psychological Explanation (Trance)

Trance has mostly shown the perspective of someone lonely and isolated for half of their lives which is caused by social circumstances such as bullying, imitating and pranks that people pull. Stephen was a troubled person while his family wanted him to feel guilty of having a life of his own apart from his mother, Mary, and sister, Ariana who were helping Stephen to not feel left alone.

The telekinesis represents the anger that Stephen was having which was mostly on Audrey who caused him to have what is known as a gran mal epileptic seizure in which the body is unable to control itself. Audrey had forced Stephen into a certain situation that he refused to do and she did that so he had a feeling of anxiety and overwhelming fear.

Penhill, which is where Stephen sought refuge from the town, symbolises hiding from something which is reasonably big and risky. Killing his family can signify a certain aspect of being too out of control.
