    1. The Customer Support Specialist is an advocate for our customers.

My professional background began in education, so I know that having someone else's best interest at heart helps you too. What else does it take to be successful not only in this role, but particularly at Inside Real Estate? so in other words, what does the company's golden team look like?

    1. heir child has been sired by another man

      can feed into Irie then going over to fuck magid

    2. "It's not cuckolding if there isn't an element of humiliation, degradation or denial

      So then we are talking about hotwifing.

    3. Most notably, interracial and BDSM themes don't appear to be as common in gay men's cuckolding fantasies as they are among heterosexual men. The motivations behind these fantasies may also be different.

      Oh, wow. This is big. This helps my racial argument about cuckolding.

    1. But most often, when swinging does lead to cuckolding, the inadequate size of the spouse plays a major role in this outcome.

      can be compared to the tumor growths on futuremouse. I should analyze the growths in different character contexts because they represent a variety of things. 1) Marcus' racism 2) Millat's penis size 3) Irie's situation

    1. It varies on whether the woman tells the guy about the arrangement or not.

      The arrangement everyone's on the same page for is the academic one, but the sexual one is kept under wraps, away from Millat.

    2. “hotwife

      good transition: Hotwifing is just one side to cuckolding.

    1. The researchers found evidence to support their hypothesis: Dildos featuring a coronal ridge, like a real penis, displaced 91 percent of semen that got there first. Dildos without ridges displaced only 35 percent. Given that chimpanzees, our closest primate relatives, do not have ridges on their penises, this is "pretty strong evidence for the fact that the human penis evolved to compete with rival male semen in the female reproductive tract," says SUNY psychologist Gordon G. Gallup, who led the study. (Chimpanzees are very promiscuous, but they appear to solve the sperm competition problem differently: They produce extremely large volumes of semen that solidify in the vagina. Like a plug.)

      Evidence for Irie with Millat. Irie wants to believe that Millat is superior but she doesn't know this little known fact. This evidence suggests It's likely Magid's baby that she is carrying.

    2. The quality of the child, then, wins over quantity. Because men with the best genes aren't always the most stable and resourceful partners (they don't have to be), women might marry the latter but cheat with the former. Then they can become pregnant with a genetically superior child who will, if her mother can pull it off, grow up with the help of her unwitting spouse.

      Plays into Marcus' research. Millat is sexually superior and he knows it. Joyce is simply part of his eugenics research. It gets him off knowing that he's not genetically superior, but and that's why he needs to be in control. Cuckolding is where "a bull is used as a tool for pleasure. Marcus is controls his future mouse experiment just like he controls Joyce and Millat's sexual relationship. He knows Millat is emotionally and intellectually inferior, but he doesn't need to be. Millat is the representation for potential breeding fodder--the thing women are attracted to and want even if they have husbands "who are reliable (see this article)." But it's imbued with racism. Future mouse's tumor growths represent the racist growths. It is at once a representation of Marcus' inferiority just as it is the representation of the racist sexual experiences Millat has had that makes him grade A beef.

    1. It’s possible I was misreading the situation; as Sharan Street would tell me, the cuckold fantasy features both voluntary humiliation on the part of the cuck and, sometimes, the fetishization of the “hotwife” as a dominant actor

      yes

    1. In this country [the USA], racism has always been sexualized. The idea is that black women are whores and black men are animalistic “fuckers” who are after w

      In White Teeth's Britain, it's Millat who is the animalistic fucker with the animalistic emotional behavior that Joyce is satisfied by. Marcus is too, for he derives pleasure from his wife using Millat as a tool for sexual pleasure...

    1. Often considered the opposite of jealousy, the word “compersion” is used by swingers and polyamorists to convey the empathetic, bonoboësque joy they feel for their partners’ pleasure with others.

      This is closer to what I'm looking for but not quite what it is that expresses the racist pleasure Marcus receives from being cuckolded.

    2. Apparently, the human male is wired to be aroused by sexual competition.

      and why does Magid let it happen? Why does he let Irie fuck him? He could have probably gotten her to stop. He doesn't. Is it to spite his brother? Magid knows why she's there. It's stated in the novel.

    3. What about jealousy? Sperm competition is exciting, reminding a man that his woman is worth fighting for, making his erection fighting hard. The danger is that jealousy, which is all tangled up with possessiveness, insecurity and fear, will add the wrong kind of fuel to the Sperm Wars fire, and all that fun fighting between sperm turns to real fighting between people.

      This describes Irie exactly. She's jealous for Millat (explain). She has sex with Magid out of insecurity or fear.

    1. Experiencing joy from your partner’s sexual experiences is a phenomenon known as “compersion,”

      perhaps this should be "compersion" for Marcus instead of "cuckolding."

    2. Why so? According to a primer by Refinery29, cuckolding helps rekindle that initial erotic flame partners have for one another when they first meet.

      Marcus is always busy, always working. Joyce loves her husband and loves how successful he is. She loves that he's smarter than her. She loves that they can share an intellectual relationship. But, for the most part, he is never able to make time for his family. Throughout the novel, the audience doesn't know Joyce and Marcus' sex life. It might be boring as all hell. Maybe they just don't even have sex anymore. But since it is a psychological pleasure activity, it's probably that Marcus enjoys it having Millat charm the panties off his wife. Read this excerpt: The way Marcus comes off doesn't really make it sound like sound like he's complaining. He's simply being a bit hyperbolic. If he doesn't need to have sex with his wife to get off, then what does he get off to? Simply it's more than his wife having sex with a young, fit man. Once factor that plays into cuckolding is the interracial factor. "quote." It's possible Marcus gets off to the fact Joyce is having sex with someone from another race. (should i mention the emotional aspect for Joyce? then I might have to tie that into why marcus gets off to it.) But the reason might be racist. Throughout the novel,....Joyce constantly references..."000". Joyce in the end though is the one that propagates racism because she's the one who makes the ultimate decision to involve herself sexually if her action is to be interpreted that way.

    1. When he hears his wife moan with pleasure while she has sex with another man, Paul Pines feels bad—then good. When Paul’s wife tells him that the other man is much better at sex than he ever was, Paul feels worse—then better. But of course he does: He arranged this encounter, in which he watches in agony as his wife makes love to another guy. And almost as soon as it’s over, he’ll start planning the next on

      Does Marcus arrange the encounter? I'm not sure we know why Joyce and Marcus decide to let Millat and Irie over.

    1. But rhyme is principally the language of love. The play begins with Romeo unable to cope with the fact that Rosaline doesn’t return his love.

      yes

    1. You kiss by the book.

      This is where Romeo breaks verse. In the beginning when they meet at the hall, they alternate rhyme scheme, forming sonnets.

    1. “Give me my Romeo, and, when I shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night, And pay no worship to the garish sun. “

      They may know the only way to reconcile the issues between the two families is for them to learn to love each other as she did with Romeo. However, it seems the only way to reconcile those differences is in death.

    3. A plague upon you, murderers, traitors all!

      Lear is blaming everyone else in the end? I guess that could be sane--because everyone didn't have to go and fuck everything up. All Lear did was hand over the keys of the kingdom. In the end, it is not ultimately his responsibility for what happened, although undoubtedly, he did have a part in the sequence of events that led to the tragedy.

      Lear is delusional. But, it's a survival tactic--one that he uses so he does not have to feel as though his death was in vain--or that his life was with regret

You should be whipping yourself, since you lust after her and yearn to do the same thing for which you’re punishing her. One criminal punishes another. Poor men’s sins are much more noticeable than rich men’s. Cover up a crime with gold and the arm of justice can’t touch it. But dress the crime in rags and it’s caught easily. Everyone sins. You can’t blame anyone for it anyone, I say. I’ll vouch for that. Believe me, my friend, since I have the power to stop the prosecutors. Get yourself some glass eyes, and pretend to see things you can’t, like a crooked politician. Now, now, now, now. Pull off my boots. Harder, harder. Like that.

One day, when priests don’t practice what they preach, When brewers dilute their beer with water, When noblemen teach their tailors how to sew, When instead of heretics being burned at the stake, lovers are burned by syphilis, When every law case is tried fairly, When no gentleman is in debt, When no one slanders anyone else, And thieves don’t snatch wallets in crowds, When moneylenders count their gold in the open air, And pimps and whores build fine churches— Then the kingdom of England Will come to ruin. And whoever lives to see that day Will walk with his feet. This is the prophecy that the wizard MERLIN According to legend, Merlin was the wizard at the court of King Arthur and the Round Table and predicted the end of the world in rhymes that are similar to the fool’s prophecy. However, King Lear takes place centuries before the time the mythical Merlin is supposed to have existed. Merlin will make one day. I’m a little ahead of my time in saying it now.

      Lear calls upon the elements to summon their storm against his daughters who have wronged him. He suggests the elements are angry with his daughters. He wants these elements to take action on his daughters. Perhaps on literally, but his curses take his heart there.

    3. Here's a night pities neither wise KL III.ii.13  men nor fools.

      The storm tonight is merciful to none--not wise men, nor fools.

      Lear is facing the music. Lear in storm is Lear facing the fact that his life has become a storm--a brewing hell. He knows the daughters are collaborating against him and he has caused a chaos in the kingdom that cannot be reconciled in time--this parallels the story of the woman who baked eels into her pie + the horse's buttered hay--which is foolish.

    1. embly but horn-beasts. FTLN 168150 But what though? Courage. As horns are odious, FTLN 1682 they are necessary. It is said “Many a man knows no FTLN 1683 end of his goods.” Right: many a man has good FTLN 1684 horns and knows no end of them. Well, that is the FTLN 1685 dowry of his wife; ’tis none of his own getting. FTLN 168655 Horns? Even so. Poor men alone? No, no. The FTLN 1687 noblest deer hath them as huge as the rascal. Is the FTLN 1688 single man therefore blessed? No. As a walled town FTLN 1689 is more worthier than a village, so is the forehead of FTLN 1690 a married man more honorable than the bare brow FTLN 169160 of a bachelor. And by how much defense is better FTLN 1692 than no skill, by so much is a horn more precious FTLN 1693 than to want.

      remember that women were forbidden to perform onstage in Shakespeare’s England. Rosalind would have been played by a man, which further obscures the boundaries of gender. Rosalind emerges as a man who pretends to be a woman who pretends to be a man who pretends to be a woman to win the love of a man.

    7.   FTLN 1545Can you remember any of the principal evils FTLN 1546 that he laid to the charge of women? ROSALIND , as Ganymede  FTLN 1547There were none principal. FTLN 1548360 They were all like one another as halfpence are, FTLN 1549 every one fault seeming monstrous till his fellow FTLN 1550 fault came to match it. ORLANDO  FTLN 1551I prithee recount some of them. ROSALIND , as Ganymede  FTLN 1552No, I will not cast away my FTLN 1553365 physic but on those that are sick. There is a man FTLN 1554 haunts the forest that abuses our young plants with FTLN 1555 carving “Rosalind” on their barks, hangs odes upon FTLN 1556 hawthorns and elegies on brambles, all, forsooth, FTLN 1557 deifying the name of Rosalind. If I could meet FTLN 1558370 that fancy-monger, I would give him some good FTLN 1559 counsel, for he seems to have the quotidian of love FTLN 1560 upon him. ORLANDO  FTLN 1561I am he that is so love-shaked. I pray you tell FTLN 1562 me your remedy. ROSALIND , as Ganymede  FTLN 1563375There is none of my uncle’s FTLN 1564 marks upon you. He taught me how to know a man FTLN 1565 in love, in which cage of rushes I am sure you are FTLN 1566 not prisoner. ORLANDO  FTLN 1567What were his marks? ROSALIND , as Ganymede  FTLN 1568380A lean cheek, which you 115 As You Like It ACT 3. SC. 2 FTLN 1569 have not; a blue eye and sunken, which you have FTLN 1570 not; an unquestionable spirit, which you have not; a FTLN 1571 beard neglected, which you have not—but I pardon FTLN 1572 you for that, for simply your having in beard is a FTLN 1573385 younger brother’s revenue. Then your hose should FTLN 1574 be ungartered, your bonnet unbanded, your sleeve FTLN 1575 unbuttoned, your shoe untied, and everything FTLN 1576 about you demonstrating a careless desolation. But FTLN 1577 you are no such man. You are rather point-device in FTLN 1578390 your accouterments, as loving yourself than seeming FTLN 1579 the lover of any other

    10.  All the world’s a stage, FTLN 1105 And all the men and women merely players. FTLN 1106 They have their exits and their entrances, FTLN 1107 And one man in his time plays many parts, FTLN 1108150 His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, FTLN 1109 Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms. FTLN 1110 Then the whining schoolboy with his satchel FTLN 1111 And shining morning face, creeping like snail FTLN 1112 Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, FTLN 1113155 Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad FTLN 1114 Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier, FTLN 1115 Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, FTLN 1116 Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, FTLN 1117 Seeking the bubble reputation FTLN 1118160 Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, FTLN 1119 In fair round belly with good capon lined, FTLN 1120 With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, FTLN 1121 Full of wise saws and modern instances; FTLN 1122 And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts FTLN 1123165 Into the lean and slippered pantaloon FTLN 1124 With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, FTLN 1125 His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide FTLN 1126 For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, FTLN 1127 Turning again toward childish treble, pipes FTLN 1128170 And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, FTLN 1129 That ends this strange eventful history, FTLN 1130 Is second childishness and mere oblivion, FTLN 1131 Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

      important, but meant to be edgy in Shakespeares time since this was overdone.

    11. “Call me not ‘fool’ till heaven hath sent me FTLN 097820 fortune.” FTLN 0979 And then he drew a dial from his poke FTLN 0980 And, looking on it with lack-luster eye, FTLN 0981 Says very wisely “It is ten o’clock. FTLN 0982 Thus we may see,” quoth he, “how the world wags. FTLN 098325 ’Tis but an hour ago since it was nine, FTLN 0984 And after one hour more ’twill be eleven. FTLN 0985 And so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe, FTLN 0986 And then from hour to hour we rot and rot, FTLN 0987 And thereby hangs a tale.” When I did hear FTLN 098830 The motley fool thus moral on the time, FTLN 0989 My lungs began to crow like chanticleer FTLN 0990 That fools should be so deep-contemplative, FTLN 0991 And I did laugh sans intermission FTLN 0992 An hour by his dial. O noble fool! FTLN 099335 A worthy fool! Motley’s the only wear.

JAQUES  FTLN 1030Why, who cries out on pride FTLN 1031 That can therein tax any private party? FTLN 1032 Doth it not flow as hugely as the sea FTLN 103375 Till that the weary very means do ebb? FTLN 1034 What woman in the city do I name FTLN 1035 When that I say the city-woman bears FTLN 1036 The cost of princes on unworthy shoulders? FTLN 1037 Who can come in and say that I mean her, FTLN 103880 When such a one as she such is her neighbor? FTLN 1039 Or what is he of basest function FTLN 1040 That says his bravery is not on my cost, FTLN 1041 Thinking that I mean him, but therein suits 79 As You Like It ACT 2.

If it do him right, FTLN 1046 Then he hath wronged himself. If he be free, FTLN 1047 Why then my taxing like a wild goose flies FTLN 104890 Unclaimed of any man. Enter Orlando, brandishing a sword. FTLN 1049 But who comes here? ORLANDO  FTLN 1050Forbear, and eat no more. JAQUES  FTLN 1051Why, I have eat none yet.

SC. 3 FTLN 2355 Which all this while had bled; and now he fainted, FTLN 2356 And cried in fainting upon Rosalind. FTLN 2357 Brief, I recovered him, bound up his wound, FTLN 2358160 And after some small space, being strong at heart, FTLN 2359 He sent me hither, stranger as I am, FTLN 2360 To tell this story, that you might excuse FTLN 2361 His broken promise, and to give this napkin FTLN 2362 Dyed in his blood unto the shepherd youth FTLN 2363165 That he in sport doth call his Rosalind.

He threw his eye aside— FTLN 2306 And mark what object did present itself: FTLN 2307 Under an old oak, whose boughs were mossed with FTLN 2308110 age FTLN 2309 And high top bald with dry antiquity, FTLN 2310 A wretched, ragged man, o’ergrown with hair, FTLN 2311 Lay sleeping on his back. About his neck FTLN 2312 A green and gilded snake had wreathed itself, FTLN 2313115 Who with her head, nimble in threats, approached FTLN 2314 The opening of his mouth. But suddenly, FTLN 2315 Seeing Orlando, it unlinked itself FTLN 2316 And, with indented glides, did slip away FTLN 2317 Into a bush, under which bush’s shade FTLN 2318120 A lioness, with udders all drawn dry, FTLN 2319 Lay couching, head on ground, with catlike watch FTLN 2320 When that the sleeping man should stir—for ’tis FTLN 2321 The royal disposition of that beast FTLN 2322 To prey on nothing that doth seem as dead. FTLN 2323125 This seen, Orlando did approach the man FTLN 2324 And found it was his brother, his elder brother. 165 As You Like It ACT 4. SC. 3 CELIA , as Aliena  FTLN 2325 O, I have heard him speak of that same brother, FTLN 2326 And he did render him the most unnatural FTLN 2327 That lived amongst men.

ROSALIND , as Ganymede  FTLN 2330 But to Orlando: did he leave him there, FTLN 2331 Food to the sucked and hungry lioness? OLIVER  FTLN 2332 Twice did he turn his back and purposed so, FTLN 2333135 But kindness, nobler ever than revenge, FTLN 2334 And nature, stronger than his just occasion, FTLN 2335 Made him give battle to the lioness, FTLN 2336 Who quickly fell before him; in which hurtling, FTLN 2337 From miserable slumber I awaked.

    19. DUKE SENIOR  FTLN 0626 Come, shall we go and kill us venison? FTLN 0627 And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, FTLN 0628 Being native burghers of this desert city, FTLN 0629 Should in their own confines with forkèd heads FTLN 063025 Have their round haunches gored. FIRST LORD  FTLN 0631 Indeed, my lord, FTLN 0632 The melancholy Jaques grieves at that, FTLN 0633 And in that kind swears you do more usurp FTLN 0634 Than doth your brother that hath banished you. FTLN 063530 Today my Lord of Amiens and myself FTLN 0636 Did steal behind him as he lay along FTLN 0637 Under an oak, whose antique root peeps out FTLN 0638 Upon the brook that brawls along this wood; FTLN 0639 To the which place a poor sequestered stag FTLN 064035 That from the hunter’s aim had ta’en a hurt FTLN 0641 Did come to languish. And indeed, my lord, FTLN 0642 The wretched animal heaved forth such groans FTLN 0643 That their discharge did stretch his leathern coat FTLN 0644 Almost to bursting, and the big round tears FTLN 064540 Coursed one another down his innocent nose FTLN 0646 In piteous chase. And thus the hairy fool, FTLN 0647 Much markèd of the melancholy Jaques, FTLN 0648 Stood on th’ extremest verge of the swift brook, FTLN 0649 Augmenting it with tears. DUKE SENIOR  FTLN 065045 But what said Jaques? FTLN 0651 Did he not moralize this spectacle? FIRST LORD  FTLN 0652 O yes, into a thousand similes. FTLN 0653 First, for his weeping into the needless stream: FTLN 0654 “Poor deer,” quoth he, “thou mak’st a testament FTLN 065550 As worldlings do, giving thy sum of more FTLN 0656 To that which had too much.” Then, being there FTLN 0657 alone, FTLN 0658 Left and abandoned of his velvet friends: FTLN 0659 “’Tis right,” quoth he. “Thus misery doth part 53 As You Like It ACT 2. SC. 2 FTLN 066055 The flux of company.” Anon a careless herd, FTLN 0661 Full of the pasture, jumps along by him FTLN 0662 And never stays to greet him. “Ay,” quoth Jaques, FTLN 0663 “Sweep on, you fat and greasy citizens. FTLN 0664 ’Tis just the fashion. Wherefore do you look FTLN 066560 Upon that poor and broken bankrupt there?” FTLN 0666 Thus most invectively he pierceth through FTLN 0667 The body of country, city, court, FTLN 0668 Yea, and of this our life, swearing that we FTLN 0669 Are mere usurpers, tyrants, and what’s worse, FTLN 067065 To fright the animals and to kill them up FTLN 0671 In their assigned and native dwelling place. DUKE SENIOR  FTLN 0672 And did you leave him in this contemplation? SECOND LORD  FTLN 0673 We did, my lord, weeping and commenting FTLN 0674 Upon the sobbing deer. DUKE SENIOR  FTLN 067570 Show me the place. FTLN 0676 I love to cope him in these sullen fits, FTLN 0677 For then he’s full of matter. FIRST LORD  FTLN 0678I’ll bring you to him straight.

      for character analysis

    1. The Forest has done its work-it has educated some, repaired fraternal relationships, brought the lovers to a fuller awareness of their own feelings. Now, they can return to what will be, we sense, a much better and fuller life in the court.

      yet, there is also a kind of sadness....GENDER ROLES

    2. The pastoral convention allows the exiled aristocrats to criticize the court for its violence and corruption. This criticism is based on the illusion that the banished lords are shepherds this illusion in As You Like It breaks down when we realize that the so-called shepherds are courtiers of the court they pretend to criticized. Jacques points out that the natural life in Arden is as cruel and unnatural as the other. It is because here also men usurp the forest from the deer and kill them in their native dwelling place.

      there is a quote that goes to this. FIND IT

    3. Touchstone likes to have a fling at these lovers. But he goes a step further. He woos the rustic Audrey and, with folly, he frightens away his rival William. His marriage is a satire on the pastoral marriage because while others fall in love with beauty, he with ugliness. Touchstone delivers a lecture on the theme of pastoral life which he dislikes. Finding himself in Arden he feels: Ay, now am I in Arden, the more fool I. when I was at home I was in a better place , but travelers must be content Touchstone reminds that there are such things as domestic comfort in the court, later in Act III, scene ii, he criticizes the shepherd‘s life.

    4. But a close analysis of the play will demonstrate an uneasiness or dissatisfactionwith the pastoral on the part of the dramatist. In fact, As you like it is not merely a pastoral romance. It is also an ironical commentary on pastoral life -a commentary that works itself out through Rosalind‘s humour, the cynicism of Jaques, the pungent humour of Touchstone, and the sentimental exaggeration of the Silvius -Phebe episode. Rosalind has to struggle against the pastoral lovers-silvius and Phebe. Silivius is the victim of love-sickness. He is blind to all the defects of Phebe in the goodness of devotion. But Phebe is cold to him and turns her attention to Rosalind disguised as Ganymede.

      good shit. find a way to word it where it makes sense to audience

    5. The forest of Arden embodies the freedom of spirit and it allows people to be themselves to make choices that determine their roles ,functions, and relations with each other rather than having these forced on them.

    6. symbol of liberty. So Celia says: Now go we in content To liberty and not to banishment.

      dd

    7. Life in Arden is free from the .painted pomp. and flattery of the court. It is simple and natural –hard but sweet. Duke Senior goes to Arden to seek peace, freedom, and serenity in the midst of natural sights and sounds. Here he finds: . . . . Tongues in trees, books in running brooks sermons in stones and good in everything..

      yes

    1. "painted pomp," "the envious court," and "public haunt" give way to the uncomplicated rewards of a life close to trees and running brooks. Here, the banished Duke Senior and his "co-mates and brothers in exile" find their existence "sweet

      good quote

    2. The grand movement of the play, then, is from organized society to the country, from constraint to freedom, and from hardship to joy. "Now go we in content," Celia says on the eve of her exile, "to liberty, and not to banishment."

      yes

    3. Touchstone, on the other hand, is an example of Shakespeare's sense of irony about pastoral joys,

      yes. He kinda hates it there in the forest. He really doesn't enjoy having made the choice to go with Rosalind, although she did kinda drag him along with her.

    4. Touchstone mocks the contradictory nature of the desires ideally resolved by pastoral life — that is, to be at the same time at court and in the fields and to enjoy both the advantages of rank, in addition to the advantages of the classless estate of Arden.

      contradictions humorous

    5. Silvius and Phebe find their places in Shakespeare's complex Arden, their romancing is presented as frankly artificial

      c

    6. Silvius and Phebe, pastoral stereotypes, provide another instance of the opposition between the natural and the unnatural, which is always a dominant thematic concern of the play.

      c

    7. fulfillment of the universal longing to flee burdensome realities and find quietude and peace.

      but peace comes at a cost and we find ourselves returning back to reestablishing the norms in society we once had to create order for easier living. Yet when too much, it is overburdening, and escape is sought once again.

    8. But to achieve full contentment they have had to adjust themselves to the natural hardships of their lot — "the icy fang / And churlish chiding of the winter's wind

      just as much give and take for freed as there is for society. Bear the icy fang of nature? Or icy fang of society--Fredrick?
