Hughes is asking a generation exposed to the horrors of war‚ the destruction caused by the atomic bombs and the Nazi holocaust to consider such pointless destruction and how so much of it is caused by our alienation from the complete being of the universe. He demands that we understand what it is all conscious beings feel we are missing‚ and fill that void by connecting to the natural world and through art and poetry. ‘Crow’s Account of the Battle’ shows the effects of our alienation and its disastrous

TS Eliot’s Prufrock The ironic character of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock‚" an early poem by T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) in the form of a dramatic monologue‚ is introduced in its title. Eliot is talking‚ through his speaker‚ about the absence of love‚ and the poem‚ so far from being a "song‚" is a meditation on the failure of romance. The opening image of evening (traditionally the time of love making) is disquieting‚ rather than consoling or seductive‚ and the evening "becomes a patient" (Spender

However‚ when observing the importance of one human life on the cosmic level‚ it is hard to say that our lives are meaningful. Sagan further argues that once we lower our self-esteem and accept our meaningless‚ we will act with stewardship‚ kindness‚ and compassion.

Eloise‚ I liked how you narrowed in on the character of King Lear to incorporate the words “nature”‚ “natural”‚ and “unnatural”. King Lear uses the term nature many times throughout the play. I agree with you that Lear feels it is in the nature of his daughters to obey they father. In 1.4‚ after realizing how awful his daughter Goneril is‚ Lear says of Cordelia‚ “O most small fault‚ how ugly didst thou in Cordelia show‚ which like an engine wrenched my frame of nature” (257-259). Lear is acknowledging
