hey, this may be a bit late, but if i were you i'd point out that Donnie ends up losing his sense of reality entirely, consumed entirely by his dark alter ego, Frank. You can point out all the wierd camera angles etc and Frank's voiceover to show that Donnie's internal world overshadows his external world.
"journeys often lead to greater sense of self"
well i guess donnie darko went on a psychological and emotional journey to help him accept the reality of death. once he had gone on this journey he was'nt afraid to die. this was his greater sense of self as before he did'nt think anything was important concerning him. :uhhuh:
