'Daddy And Lady Lazarus'
Throughout both “Daddy” and “Lady Lazarus” the author seems to have a very bitter tone towards men. A hatred that I feel as if started during a rough childhood and a bitterness towards her father that she has expanded to all men. The author seems to also be extremely depressed and suicidal. She talks about having nine lives in “Lady Lazarus” almost as if she is a cat and says that every 10 years she does this unmentionable thing, being an attempt at suicide. She never lets us know what has made her so depressed to the point of wanting to commit suicide, but I assume it all stems back to her childhood and a rough life since. She refers to her dad as a nazi and herself as a jew. It sounds as if he mistreated her horribly just as the nazis had

Sacrifice In The Poisonwood Bible
891 Words | 4 PagesPain, both physical and mental, affects every character in The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. However, the biggest loss, which is that of the Price family’s youngest child, Ruth May’s, life also brings about some positive effects as well. Here, similarly to in Twelfth Night, a person is sacrificed for the greater good. Naturally, it may be more difficult to imagine the benefit of Ruth May’s sacrifice than to imagine the benefits of Viola’s, but if given adequate thought, it becomes clear that the death of Ruth May helps the other women in the Price family to realize Nathan Price’s destructive ways. Kingsolver first exposes Leah Price’s newfound argumentative and bold personality, and her opposition towards her father in the following exchange, “”She wasn’t baptized yet,” he said.
