... since his children were grown and his wife unable to have any more children. It would be rather absurd to think that a rational man would want to both propose this and partake in the eating of another human being. Therefore, before an analyzation can continue, one has to make the assumption that this is strictly a fictional work and Swift had no intention of pursuing his proposal any further. One of the other voices that is present throughout the entire story is that of sarcasm. In order to understand this further, a reader has to comprehend that Swift, becoming infamous after Gullivers Travels, was a ...

... a hen would scratch around.
Although the living conditions were better at the Hensen plantation it turns out the condition was much worse at the Riley plantation. The slave cabins were far behind a row of trees in the back yard, behind the Big House so the Massa and Missy did not have to look at the pitiful slaves. Usually there would be some laughter and a lot of talk at the Hensen plantation but at the Riley plantation there was no laughter and almost no talk. Much like the slave cabins at the Hensen plantation they were lined up in “two long rows of tattered huts”2. The huts were low and ugly u ...

"But I don’t see why you should look ...

... states simply that Godot will arrive
tomorrow, same place, same time. They consider leaving, but do not. The
second act is almost an exact repeat of the first, but Lucky and Pozzo have
fallen upon hard times. Pozzo has become blind and pathetic, and Lucky has

terrific one moment, and worthless the next. Godot never shows up. The
play ends with the two considering to go somewhere, but they do not.
The similarity of this play to Eliot's poem is remarkable. Eliot's
Love Song is in the first person point of view, and this person re ...
