LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER; COMMONLIT

English
1 answer:
vova2212 [387]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Mary's pregnancy makes it all the more shocking that her husband is planning to leave her. She is six months pregnant—very far along for him to decide to bail out of the marriage. Further, the coldness with which her husband delivers the news must also be shocking. He says to her:

But there needn’t really be any fuss. I hope not anyway. It wouldn’t be very good for my job. She loved her husband up until this point, looking forward to his coming home from work as her "blissful" time. She liked being with him and even enjoyed the way he sat in his chair.

When she finds out he is divorcing her, her initial response is disbelief and denial. She then kills him quickly with the frozen lamb, not even thinking about what she is doing until after he is dead.

Her knowledge of having a child to protect and her desire that it not be orphaned then influences Mary to cover up her crime.

Read the passage from "The Caged Bird.” But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his
nydimaria [60]

The section from the poem "The Caged Birds" illustrates the condition of the bird which has no control over its fate. It is explicitly captured within a prison and metaphors like "clipped wings" and "tied feet" propose that even if it tried, it is bound not to leave the premise it is contained in.

Further, in "Sonnet 29", the writer's allegorical language and expression portray the image of the narrator in the society where he feels unwanted. However, in the provided lines of the sonnet, the speaker laments on his position as an outcast and failure, also suggesting that this fate cannot be suppressed. Again, here, the condition of the narrator cannot be changed, same as the bird's situation.

Therefore, the common connotation suggested by the two excerpts is: "they both are angry at their circumstances," because they are stuck within their unfortunate conditions.
