analytical Essay
1233 words
Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” and A.S. Byatt’s “The Thing in the Forest” are both focused on the intersections of childhood trauma, memory, and guilt, as well as how someone’s childhood can affect them through life. Each has its own idea of what effect the guilt might have on a person and how it can affect different people in different ways. “Recitatif” and “The Thing in the Forest” both revolve around the guilt and confusion that adults face when reflecting upon their childhood and wondering if their recollections are entirely accurate; however, one focuses on the difference it makes in otherwise parallel lives and the other focuses on the parallel it makes in otherwise different lives. Both “Recitatif” and “The Thing in the Forest” touch upon …show more content…
“Recitatif” uses the meetings to reference the situations they have seen each other in over the years, while also bringing up how the women feel about those repeated meetings and each other, such as when Twyla wonders “what happened to [Roberta], how she got from Jimi Hendrix to Annedale, a neighborhood full of doctors and IBM executives. Easy, I thought. Everything is so easy for them. They think they own the world” (Morrison 245). The reunion in “The Thing in the Forest” serves a similar purpose as far as how the women feel about each other since their last meeting, with the initial moment being described as “Their transparent reflected faces lost detail – cracked lipstick, pouches, fine lines of wrinkles – and both looked young and grayer, less substantial. And that is how they came to recognize each other, as they might not have done, plump face to bony face.” (Byatt 358). The moment in this story is far less positive than the reunion scenes in “Recitatif” because these women do not have a strong bond, …show more content…
While Roberta in particular carries the guilt of not being sure if she was a contributor to the violence against Maggie and therefore wrestles with what that means about her as a person, in “The Thing in the Forest”, both women struggle with the idea that they were responsible for what happened to Alys, yet focus more on what the creature was and how they can each prevent what happened to Alys from happening to anyone else. In “Recitatif”, the women show their guilt by bringing up what happened as they meet again and again. Everything else comes and goes from their conversations, but as soon as Maggie is brought up, neither woman can escape her. In “The Thing in the Forest”, this is demonstrated by how each woman has reacted to their new situation, going through life knowing that such horrifying creatures exist. Penny is far more of a realist, she became “good at studying what could not be seen” (Byatt 364). Primrose, on the other hand, leans into the fantasy of it all, telling children the story of what happened to her as a way of warning them. This works to emphasize the most basic difference between the two women, realist versus

529 wordsRead More - Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “What lies behind us and what lies before us, is nothing compared to what lies within in.” At first glance, this quotation is positive and inspiring. But inside of every man is the ability to create terror and suffering. When this darker side emerges, individuals are irreparably altered. Two great works of literature show this point: William Golding’s Lord of the Flies disturbingly illustrates the deterioration of a group of marooned British schoolboys from civilized to savage, and John Knowles’ A Separate Peace is the haunting story of a teenager’s inability to confess the truth to his best friend as they grapple with World War II. In Lord of the Flies and A Separate Peace, the protagonists, Ralph and Gene, both commit major transgressions that shift their perceptions of themselves and eventually lead them to discover the evil within mankind.

While Poe’s narrator is overcome with guilt after committing murder, the main protagonist in Dahl’s tale, Mary Maloney, seems to feel no regret in killing her husband. Both texts also differ in the build up to the murders. Poe’s narrator is initially cautious and methodical, as seen in the care and precision he takes in planning the murder; “Every night about twelve o’clock I slowly opened his door…for seven nights I did this, seven long nights…” Although the narrator had nothing against the old man, “I did not hate the old man; I even loved him”, he is driven to murder by the obsession of the old man’s “vulture” eye.
