The breaking point of Scobie starting to feel overly compassionate about Louise seems to be the death of their daughter Catherine; ever since, he is not able to love anybody else, only through pity. It is very likely that he once truly loved Louise but throughout the book, his only feeling towards her is “pity love,” a term used by Greene himself, and the exceptional feeling of responsibility for her happiness. “Louise said, ‘I’ve known it for years. You don’t love me.’ … ‘That’s your conscience,’ she said, ‘your sense of duty. You’ve never loved anyone since Catherine died’” (Greene 57). At one point in the novel, he is feeling truly at peace when he believes to have made given Louise what she wanted – to leave. “I’ve prayed for peace and

The author uses a poignant description of a bomb test that happened during her childhood, “we saw it, clearly, this golden-stemmed cloud, the mushroom. The sky seemed to vibrate with an eerie pink glow” (Williams 313). This bomb test, with others plays a central role to story, hence its need to be vividly described by Terry Williams. As the story goes on Williams tells us about her family history and describes the struggles that come with her family lineage, “I held their foreheads as they vomited green-black bile and I shot them with more morphine when the pain became inhuman” (Williams 315).

For this essay I will be unraveling two poems to find a deeper meaning from The Norton Anthology of World Literature, Volume B. The two poems are “A Lover’s Prize” by Beatrice of Dia and “The Wound of Love” written by Heinrich von Morungen. Heinrich and Beatrice are considered to be medieval lyric poets; however, Beatrice was a medieval lyric poet from France and they are known as troubadour. Beatrice just so happened to be apart of southern France’s trobairitz which was just a tribute to some of the best troubadour of their time. She was married to the Count of Viennois, Guilhem de Poitiers but she was having an affair with another troubadour who went by the name Raimbaut d’Orange and their poetic style was quite similar. However, when it comes to Heinrich von Morungen not much is known about him. From the little we know about Heinrich, we find that, his style of writing fit into the category of Minnesang which means “songs of love”. His lyrics (that have survived) are also some of the greatest in early German history. Nonetheless, these writers have both put forth some impressive work.

In the poem, The Love song, written by T.S. Elliot, J Alfred Prufrock is a man who is very lonely and insecure. He goes throughout his life wishing for a change, but never stepping up to the plate and actually making a change. The title of the poem portrays to the reader that the poem is going to be full of love and romance. The reader soon found out later that the poem is just the opposite from the title, a sad, lonesome man who is not only lacking love, but also lacking self confidence and self esteem.

Many songs have deeper meanings then what we truly think. Its important to really take time out of the day, and sit down to dissect the song to find its true meaning, or maybe even its multiple different meanings, that have been hidden away. The song Almost Lover, by A Fine Frenzy, is one of the songs that could have multiple different meanings behind it. The female singer of A Fine Frenzy, is named Alison Sudol. Alison Sudol is from Seattle, Washington. She was born December 23, 1984. She sings mainly Indie songs, and also stars in a few movies. In the song Almost Lover, she is singing about her lover leaving her behind. Its a slow, Indie song that has sweet, but sad music to it. Many questions arise when it comes to
