Abstract This paper examines the dramatic and thematic function of "pure taboo-split" scenes within the short dramatic cycle "Get Well Soon." Defining pure taboo-split as a technique in which interrelated characters each embody fragments of a socially forbidden subject—thereby distributing the taboo across a scene—the study explores how fragmentation modifies audience reception, constructs moral ambiguity, and facilitates emotional catharsis in narratives about illness and recovery. Through close readings of four representative scenes, this analysis demonstrates how the device produces tension, complicates sympathy, and reframes healing as a negotiated cultural process rather than an individual event.
