Regarding the tale of the Wife of Bath‚ the most common interpretation is wish-fulfillment‚ yet the ending flips this on its head and undoes all that it would seek to do‚ according to McTaggart (43). The Wife being as complex of a character as she is and Chaucer’s complexity when writing this character would certainly not allow one to discount this reading completely. Like gender in reality and any social power struggle‚ metaphorical or literal‚ nothing is quite a clear-cut dichotomy and expecting

In the essay “Shooting an Elephant”‚ George Orwell uses the elephant as an extended metaphor for Orwell’s morality and the outside forces challenging it. In the second paragraph‚ Orwell makes it clear that he “was stuck between [George Orwell’s] hatred of the empire [he] served and [his] rage against the evil-spirited little beasts who tried to make [his] job impossible.” Deep down‚ Orwell despised imperialism and sympathized with the oppressed Burmese people as a whole.
