In Elizabeth Bishop’s poem “One Art,” she talks about the art of losing things throughout her life. Her poem expresses the force of circumstance that life contains and that there is nothing anyone can do about loss (Diehl 498).

During the trial, a famous poem about the case was made, “Lizzie Borden took an ax, gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one
Lizzie Borden is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of slaughtering her father and stepmother in cold blood. She had very compelling motives for doing this. One of her motives was that she had a lot to gain, including upwards of $10 million in today’s money (“9 things you may not know about Lizzie Borden” p. 1), which would be like winning the lottery if she got the money by legitimate means.
