Bishop Adelbaro portrayed himself in The Tripartite Society as a politically active bishop. Historically, bishops focused their writing on spiritual issues or conflicts within the church. The Tripartite Society, written around 1050, is a departure from both of these topics. Instead, the document places emphasis on social status and social roles.

Two recent films whose subject is the poet Elizabeth Bishop provide examples of distinct storytelling approaches: the first, a documentary with a particular political slant; the second, a semi-fictionalized biopic that is a little fast and loose with facts and chronology.

These images force her to question who she is and her place in the world. A prominent theme in the poem is the terror of growing up and the unknown. The young Elizabeth is horrified by the images she sees of the naked African women in the magazine because she is afraid of the signs of
One should express their grief with others, rather than letting it brew within themselves. Named after its poetic fixed form, “Sestina” by Elizabeth Bishop is a poem that touches on isolation, loss, and pensiveness, and how these sorrows are expressed in characters and the environment around them.
