His new wife is dead with the king, and his children are dead as well, and Medea will not let him get near them, due to her maternal side. She turned his life into dust for the sake of her love and her children. If you read the play carefully, you can see that she truly loved her children, but it wasn’t enough to let Jason have them. One thing to not is that Medea in Euripides play had no magical powers until she was rescued by the god Helios, which is deemed that she turn into some sort of superhuman but she is just a betrayed woman with two good skills, cunning and poison (Knox 285). Medea is a powerful female character but not necessarily a super being.

Losing someone is a tragedy, which is how each of these books end. In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby ends up being killed and his past lover, Daisy, does not bother to visit him or care for his death. Because of this, the readers feel sympathetic towards Gatsby and how heartbroken he must be if he knew that Daisy never even cared about Gatsby and instead only cared for his money.

She is left behind with the pain of living without her true love for the rest of the life time she has left.

Ultimately resulting in her death. In Margaret Atwood’s short story, she asserts that being discriminated and isolated causes the narrator to have deep mental issues that lead to signs of depression through the protagonist’s unorthodox way of accepting her fate without any hesitation to prevent her life being taken away. In this story, the narrator has been lead to believe that she has no part in her community. Throughout her life, she has been isolated by her entire town even by those who she called family.

For example, “from forth the fatal loins of these to foes/ A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life” Two people who are star-crossed lives, their relationship is doomed to fail. Also, it is saying that the stars or fate takes over their destinies, pretty much controlling how their life will end up like. In addition, Romeo dreams that Juliet finds him dead, yet another of example of how fate has a role in their lives which is something they can 't control. Eventually, Romeo learns that Juliet is dead but does not know about the potion she took due to Friar 's letter not getting delivered in time.

This creates a sense of a very distant relationship with her and her parents. Furthermore, this relates to when “Walker discovered she was pregnant, a development that she knew would disappoint and shame her parents. She contemplated suicide and even slept with a razor blade under her pillow” (Fish and Fish 15). Much like Celie it is apparent that Walker did not have a healthy and supportive relationship with her parents. To conclude, Walker claims “So many of the stories that I write are my mothers stories” and that “..in my immediate family there too was violence” (Alumbaugh 60).

Her use of “the light was fading” (21) is like when people believe that life flashes before their eyes before they die. She is beginning to lose all the color she sees in life as the light is slowly taking her away. Her reference to “take us home” (22) may be perceived as Heaven – a place where most dream to be when they die. “Home” may have also meant to be reunited with her family again – her mother, father, sister, and cousin – wherever they may be. The girl is sick and tired of being alone in the real world.

In my visual, I have incorporated black silhouettes of the characters in the poem as they are unknown and we are only being told that a mother is being destroyed by the birth of her three children. “Someone she loved once passed by- too late” this quote says how she has changed to someone who only lives because of her children. Her ex- boyfriend has been lost amongst her role as a mother and she has become some different until she meets a past lover. The theme ‘loss of identity’ is explored in this stanza because this unknown woman doesn’t know who she is anymore or how to think about being a

Gretel’s childhood has been deprived of the normal, untroubled way of life for a person of young age. She has experienced a wicked divorce in her family, and also Margot, whom Gretel thinks of as almost a second mother, is single due to a previous divorce. Despite that, the later portion of the novel brings times of acceptance, and eventually happiness. In “The Boy Who Wrestled with Angels,” Gretel’s brother Jason has gone from a potential Harvard student to a man controlled by drugs, and unwilling to stop until he temporarily satisfies the sulfur “monster” raging inside of him. On his deathbed, Jason thinks to himself, “He’d thought he was lost, but now he recognized that eternity was all around him, like salt from a shaker or stars in the sky” (Hoffman 144).
