They were malnourished, “I perceived I had got in hand a nauseating mess; burnt porridge is almost as bad as rotten potatoes; famine soon sickens over it.” This is Jane’s view of the food.

Freud postulated that there were two distinct forces that fueled all human behaviors. These are the polar drives of life, “libido,” and death, “morbido,” which were later labeled as the Eros (life) and Thanatos (death) instincts (Kerr, 2014). As a country, there is an overall obsession with technology. This fixation on creation may lead to the inevitable destruction of our species. (Leith, 2000).
