My reaction of Happy Endings and A Rose for Emily. Happy Endings is a quite interesting short story. Margaret Atwood is such a great author of her peers. She has put a different twist in literature.

misconceptions and the actual reality of who Florence Nightingale was. Strachey’s euphemism of calling Nightingale "the Lady with the Lamp" as opposed to the "agitations of her soul" portrays the idea that her reality was much more different than her false perceptions. Though he admires Nightingale with awe‚ he conveys his opinion by using dark and tainted diction - "morbid"‚ "Demon possessed her". Though this might suggest into the thinking that Nightingale was evil and beyond human capabilities‚ it manifests
