Art fancy-sick or turn’d a Sot To catch at shadows which are not? (15-20) In these lines, Bradstreet is discussing the discourse between the sisters. Spirit tries to

American journalist and historian Herbert Agar once said that “the truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth men prefer not to hear” this statement rings true in William Shakespeare’s tragic play king Lear.

O Brother Where Art Thou was based on The Odyssey. Both the stories are similar because of their scenes, characters, the journey, the problems they created or the problems that were in that way.
