Symbolism and Loss of Identity in The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood In Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Offred recounts the story of her life and that of others in Gilead, but she does not do so alone.

Satiation in John Milton’s Paradise Lost and Margaret Cavendish’s Blazing World Hell is huge but it isn’t big enough.

Eden, by comparison, is a relatively small place in Milton’s epic poem, but
James Herne's Margaret Fleming is surprisingly bold and realistic in regard to the time period in which it was written. The subject of infidelity is dealt with candidly, and other aspects, such as the breast-feeding of an infant, are depicted in a true-to-life form. The content, then, seems quite modern for the play's 1890 date. Yet, Herne is the successor of a playwright like Henrik Ibsen rather than Bronson Howard or, even, Augustin Daly. As Watt and Richardson note, Margaret Fleming is "unequaled

It is always interesting to hear stories behind names. Some people have a touching story about a family naming tradition, some people’s names were picked out before they were born, some people’s names were picked based on a remarkable trait at birth, and some people don’t seem to have any reason behind their name. Since I am one of the latter, I have always envied people with meaningful names. My parents picked the name Megan just because they liked how it sounded, so I think it very interesting
