Tension is an element that has been intricately woven at the heart of the Birling family.

You think you know love -- then that love turns out to be an egotistical self-involved bastard who’s no braver than the house mouse living in your walls waiting ’til you least expect it.

“Monologue for an onion” by Suji Kwock Kim The poem “Monologue for an onion” by Suji Kwock Kim begins with the peeling of an onion that could very well describe her and her agony‚ but further reading reveals that the majority of the poem is directed at the person doing the peeling.
