We are presented with a libertine speaker talking of many lovers. He suggests that, though he has spoken about the pain of love, it is only ‘Love’s pleasures’ that he cares about. As such, he has ‘betrayed’ ‘a thousand beauties’. He claims to have been a callous and deceiving lover, telling ‘the fair’ about the ‘wounds and smart’ they long to hear of, then ‘laughing’ and leaving. The poem is written in three elegant septets. Notice the iambic tetrameter and consider how important form might be to the theme of this particular kind of love and betrayal.
This speaker may not be entirely honest. The final stanza begins with ‘Alone’. Is there any sense of regret here? The speaker claims to be ‘Without the hell’ of love, yet in the same line we find reference to the ‘heaven of joy’. He may even also sacrificed his joy with his promiscuous love.
It was a amazing movie tbh
Animals don't have a specific feeling towards their social order because they are not self-conscious. Take for example the cow, yes they have probably have seen their cow friends and cow family die but they don't know what happens to them. They can't reason around the fact that they are the farmers that take their kind love their meat as much as the cow loves its grass.
This is ironic because she is actually describing herself because of her affair with Elizabeth's husband John. Abigail herself is lying by accusing Tituba and other women of witchcraft
