The same idea is repeated in last stanza when “essence” is mentioned.]]> 2023-02-17 11:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/heyying1213/9kode6er2d49rh57/wish/2486212204 sarahkellapatha https://padlet.com/heyying1213/9kode6er2d49rh57/wish/2486214612 The poem is written from Circe's perspective, as seen through the personal pronoun 'I'. She is justifying her actions of turning men into pigs by stating that their behaviour is like those of pigs. Through the word choice, the tone seems audacious. Eg: "If I wanted only to hold you, I could hold you prisoner." She is also speaking of her independence. It goes against the idea that women are weak and need men for strength and survival. Eg: "Under the care of me and my ladies". She becomes detached from emotion considering she was raped by the ship's captain, which is something she blames the patriarchy for encouraging behaviour. Eg: "I'm sick of your world that lets the outside disguise the inside". ]]> 2023-02-17 11:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/heyying1213/9kode6er2d49rh57/wish/2486214612 https://padlet.com/heyying1213/9kode6er2d49rh57/wish/2486217183 1.

So she just externalize their nasty hearts. And the word "never" is used to emphasize their filthy minds.]]> 2023-02-17 11:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/heyying1213/9kode6er2d49rh57/wish/2486217302
