She reveals in the letter that their brother was mulatto and automatically died after birth, and their mother died too after realization that she had Negro blood. When Jeanette learned of the news she too died. As Talma finished up reading the letter, Edward expressed that he would much rather marry Talma the murderer than Talma the negro, and he left at once. It is said that “From the on she failed rapidly.”.

They’re still not quite sure with what had happened to this meal to make the family sick, but in The Fall River Tragedy: A History of the Borden Murders, the family thinks they have been poisoned, which is entirely possible (Porter 108). Because it is stated that Lizzie tried purchasing arsenic and prussic acid. Back in the “Trial of Lizzie Borden” it mentions how during the murder, Mrs. Borden was on her way to work on the guest room, and it was there that she was murdered. An hour after Mrs. Borden was murdered, Mr. Borden finally returned home, and Mr. Borden wasn’t feeling too well, so he went to take a nap (Pearson 20/22).

Raven may have died by suicide or it may have been something more sinister. After Raven’s death, Lydia received letters from her grandmother, Charlotte, telling her about a family secret and a forbidden love affair from 1912 set against the building of the “last of the handmade dams,” the Ashokan Reservoir in upstate NY.

At age 24 in December of 1900, Susan Glaspell, a legislative reporter for the Des Moines Daily News at the time was employed to cover the highly sensationalized murder of John Hossack.

Woolf uses symbolism excessively in “Death of a Moth.” In the second paragraph the moth is described as “pure” representing Virginia before her mother’s death. When her mother died causing her to experience her first depressive episode at the young age of fifteen following with the deaths of family members (Becoming One’s Own, NAMI), Virginia like the moth had “the enormous energy of the world had been thrust into his frail and diminutive body,”(Woolf, Death of the Moth). The moth can be seen as a metaphorical symbol of Woolf’s firm beliefs in woman’s rights whereas death symbolizes her husband who tries to silence her and kill her spirit. Moth is a representation of the battles of depression that Virginia faced

Next, we must summarize “Forgiving my Father” by Lucille Clifton, to discover the similarities between it and “My Papa’s Waltz”. In the poem we discover that the narrator's parents died and that she was haunted by several heated arguments between her parents over their finances.  We get the sense that the daughter seems to be on her mother’s side as she used words like “old liar” and “old dead man” to describe her father.   The daughter felt angry and hostile towards her father because she was put in the middle of a difficult marital relationship and felt responsible for their money problems.

Just from the word bastard, the audience is able to understand the very judgmental life Hamilton faced since birth. His father’s rejection and abandonment left him with his dying mother, Rachel, which resulted in Hamilton becoming an orphan at the age of thirteen. Chernow also discusses how “Rachel, James Hamilton, and their children moved from Nevis to St. Croix, where Rachel had once been imprisoned for several months on charges of adultery, and how James Hamilton abandons Rachel and his natural children shortly after arrival, leaving young Alexander without a father figure” (Miltimore). After being left on his own, Hamilton faced many tragedies, but he was able to overcome them and accomplish many things. Since Hamilton 's mother had been charged with adultery, she was viewed as a whore.
