Brooks shows that even the strongest of us have hours of darkness – such as when Anna succumbs to the poppy or leaves her father unattended impaled upon the mine, or even when she fails to save Faith and Aphra at the end. There is also her jealousy of both Mompellions to consider. This makes Anna more relatable as well. Anna is tested – and while she falls for a time she is reborn into a stronger person through her struggles. Students should link to the title of the novel in this.
EXPLORE THE WAYS IN WHICH THE SPEAKER’S FEELINGS ARE PORTRAYED IN ‘THE LABORATORY’ The Laboratory was written by the famous poet Robert Browning. The story appears to be set in 17th century France during the period of the Ancien Regime. This was a time when women were seen as insubstantial and vulnerable beings and from reading this dramatic monologue we gain an understanding of how powerless they were deemed by the rest of society. This is a poem about a seemingly paranoid woman who pays an apothecary a visit mainly because she’s in search of poison(s) which she reckons would act as the proficient tool to accomplish her malicious deeds. She’s paranoid in terms of believing that her lover has been having an affair with two women who she thinks are more beautiful than her, however in stanza 3, she says “Better sit thus and observe thy strange things than go where men wait me and dance at the King’s”; this gives an idea that she’s also a beautiful woman who is likewise given attention from other men however she decides to overlook that fact and cultivate a rather vindictive temperament by refusing to let the pain and embarrassment brought upon her by her current/former lover surpass her.

According to Freud, mixture of feelings of love and hate that Diane presumably felt for her mother were the results of her obsessional thoughts and fear of losing the mother, and could actually mean an unconscious wish of Diane to kill her mother.

Brooks shows us that the plague causes many to suffer not only physically however mentally and emotionally as well. Before Anna could “mourn the (people) that (she) loved, another (person) was ill in her arms”. This caused Anna to come to a point in her life where she could either sink or swim and Anna decided to sink. Anna decided to be cruel to herself and turned to poppies, even though it did relieve her pain then, she suffered much more later. Not only did people suffer from the plague and what it brings, however people suffered from their own personal upbringing.

While Minerva compares Captain Pena to God in that he hands down commandments, she also breaks from the theme of comparing Trujillo to God and instead compares him to the devil. The most turning point is when Dede becomes nervous about all of her sisters traveling together to visit their husbands, and her warnings serve as foreshadowing for their deaths. When they laugh at her warnings and she gets upset, Minerva says, "Come on, Dede.
