- 111: Bella
- ... there were dramas mixed with farces, the meanness turns to goodness, and good intentions turn to catastrophes. There were apartments, where I spent especially long time. One of them was on the second floor. There lived a family: mother, father, two children and a huge dog. A little bit later a third child and a turtle appeared. If it wouldn’t be for the interesting books, which they possessed, and remarkable ... spend long time, was 63rd apartment. It was on the eleventh floor. There was a remarkable atmosphere. After the visits to that flat I as though became healthier and also freshened up. In this flat lived a family consisting of the mother, father and a daughter. Apart from them there was a dog, a parrot and fishes in the aquarium. At first the animals were afraid of me, but then they got used to me when they understood that except for reading the books, I need nothing. Probably in this family I lived for the longest. Fully fed, quiet, and interesting, only the father complained all the time about something. I had clear feeling, that all the complaints he addressed nowhere and to no one, because he ...
- 112: Oedipus
- ... Truly though, his life would have been a far better and easier path had he never known about his true origins. His life in Corinth would have been long and prosperous, and Thebes would have lived on under King Laius. In fact, everyone would have been better off in the long run if Oedipus had not ventured out beyond the walls of Corinth. So is it worth living an examined life ... one that was in the dark, unknown as to what fate lied beyond every turn and irony of living. Oedipus, up to the point in which he heard the comment in the tavern in Corinth, lived an unexamined life. To Socrates, he was an unfulfilled man, one who deserved to know more, one who not complete. However, in a much less metaphysical sense, Oedipus' life was complete, in that he had ... the downfall of an entire city and family line. If he had not murdered King Laius, the Sphinx would have never descended upon Thebes, he would have never fulfilled the prophecy, and all would have lived on in a relative peace and tranquillity. Once examining these aspects of the relationship between the quote and Oedipus Rex, we can come to a final examination of its implications. The question which was ...
- 113: A New England Nun
- ... threat to the serenity and security of a spinster’s life. Imagery put forth by this story, and by stereotypes of the day is of the new England spinster. Women who were not married yet, lived a life of chores and piousness. They learned their domestic chores and other things that would make them presentable as a wife. They did gardening work, read literature, mended clothing and the sort. These women were dependent on men to come and take them, to change their lives. Those who were not chosen were called old maids or spinsters. They typically were wealthy enough not work, so they lived a singular existence at their homes. Their homes became prisons. Leaving the home was possible but there was nothing out of their home environment, so they were left with no other choice but to lead ... became used to solitude and even grew fond of it. When Joe returned he disturbed her life, just as he disturbed her work basket. Louisa’s dog Caesar was chained up in the yard. He lived a lonely existence with only his dog house and a couple feet of chain in his world. Caesar was a prisoner of his home as Louisa was a prisoner to her’s. The dog ...
- 114: Gilgamesh, The Epic Of
- ... is no longer possible by reason of the babel."(p.108) This is when the Gods decided that the Gods would control mankind's destiny and the Gods would exterminate mankind. Only one man, Utnapishtim, lived through the great flood that would kill all men. This was accomplished because the God Ea came to him in a dream and told him he must "tear down your house and build a boat ... man to have ever-lasting life. Ever-lasting life was something that only the Gods could control. It would be the final decisions of the Gods in, which decided the future of how long man lived. Although Gilgamesh wanted ever-lasting life, it was something that the Gods would not grant. Enlil said to Gilgamesh "you were given the Kingship, such was your destiny, everlasting life was not your destiny".(p ... People believed that the Gods who created you would be the same Gods that entailed your destiny, people had no control over life or death, as this was the duty of the Gods. The Gods lived forever, they were most wise, but created humans that favored different characteristics of each God that helped create them. In this period of time, the Gods controlled all that was and the people gave ...
- 115: Imperialism
- ... felt quite differently and therefore did not believe that Imperialism was justified. In the minds of the natives, it was not fair. The Europeans were just coming in and stealing the lands that they had lived on for many years. The natives ended up getting pushed off of their lands so that the Europeans would be able to start their own colonies and gain power. Why should the natives have to ... my opinion was selfish and inconsiderate of the cultures and traditions of the countries that were taken over. Even though the leaders from Europe tried to make the leaders of the tribes and poeple who lived in Africa and Egypt understand what they were doing, they did not think of the language barriors or that even possibly that the tribe would not want to be a part of imperialism. I think ... to Africa, they were going to have more power. Countries thought they were making their own countries more powerful than other countries. I think that expanding and forcing their ways onto the people who already lived in Africa, was a bad idea. Everything would have been different if they would have not forced their ways onto the people who lived there first. I think that the empire builders did not ...

- ... broken up into three parts. A common technique that Plath uses in her poetry is the metaphor. An example of one lies within the first stanza of . Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white Barely daring to breathe or Achoo. Here the persona uses the simile "like a foot" to compare herself to a foot.

As it is documented, Plath was known to have lived a life of utter misery, one that included suicide attempts and breakdowns for which the major reason she put behind these was the loss of her father. For her mental illness, Plath received treatment which ... by a weak bond, something as weak as glue. During these contemporary times, the patriarchal society can be thought of as non-existent, however males still have a slight dominance. Although in the era Plath lived in, male dominance was the norm and she criticised society for this. In the poem, the persona describes her husband as "A man in black with a Meinkampf look." This reference to Hitler when ...
