“Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums and dashed the brains out”. This takes her femininity away and portrays her as a cold-hearted character who is not only willing to commit murder, but also able to persuade her husband into going against what he believes in.

Zachary Holland ENGL 2328 Dr. Wilson March 18, 2014 A Rose for Miss Emily This story really threw me for a loop. I really loved it and when I read the ending it was like holy crap did that just happen? Mrs. Grierson lives in her own little world of entrapment. She has been hurt so many times before by people talking bad about her behind her back and with her father leaving her so early by dying and leaving her with knowing basically nothing about life since he trapped her from the world that she feels the need to trap the last true love of her life Mr. Barron.

In Cupid and Psyche’s story, neither one of them had faith in the other. Also, in all three of the stories they went through great measures for the one they love. Pyramus and Thisbe risked everything so that they could sneak out and see each other.
