Teddy Daniels' final line to Chuck Aule ("This place makes me wonder," he asks, "which would be worse, to live as a monster, or to die as a good man") is not in Dennis Lehane's book, and inspired an article in The Guardian (U.K.) over what this movie's ending really meant. While Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese did not have concrete answers, Psychiatric Advisor, Dr. James Gilligan, said that Daniels did choose his fate (and chose it as Andrew Laeddis). Dr. Gilligan said that Daniels' guilt over his past actions, especially his role in causing his wife to lose her mind, and murder their children before he killed her, led him to commit a form of suicide by giving the Shutter Island staff the greenlight to fully lobotomize him. Dr. Gilligan also said that this movie's treatment of Daniels succeeded, because he did face his delusions, but failed in that his (apparently fake) retained psychosis gave the pro-lobotomy individuals a "win" in the debate over their methods versus new, non-surgical treatments.
