    Audre Lorde Use Of Patriarchy

    Maybe I never find no love, nobody. At least when I look at the girls I see them and when they look they see ME, not what I looks like. But it seems like boyz just see what you looks like.

We see her begin her journey and push through all her struggles in order to feel alive and connected to herself by herself. She beings to use characters introduced to her through literature to work through the situations she has been put through in her life. It is here that we see education shape her perception and we see her tap into her inner power and…

    Miss Emily Rose Symbolism

    The rose symbolizes the color of Miss Emily’s bridal chamber. We need to stand out that seeing through “rose colored” glasses can be dangerous. This was a specific problem for people of Miss Emily’s generation in the South. Emily’s glasses were rosy, and death trumps glasses. The honeymoon turned into a death chamber, the rose color is bathed in the hues of decay and death, shaded by the “acrid pall as of the tomb”. The rose can be interpreted as symbol for love in which case Homer is the "rose" or love for…
