In resolution to this ‘vermin’ problem, he mentions a way of keeping youth off of the streets - by using acoustic deterrence, which was previously used to repel rats, mice, and cockroaches. To sum up briefly, Monbiot compares youth to vermin

To occasionally torment oneself with or suffer from distressing thoughts is classified as normal worrying.

novel, it becomes clear that Maycomb county antagonizes its people- making it the antagonist. Obviously, a town itself cannot be the antagonist, however, the people of a town can. Alienation, hatred towards those who support righteousness, and distressing conditions articulate this. Maycomb county alienates the poor and embarrassing people.

most of our mind is made up of the unconscious. This is part of our mind that we cannot access, and contains biological drives and desires. The unconscious is responsible for most of our behaviour and personality. The unconscious can also contain distressing memories that could have been repressed earlier on in life. We also have our pre-conscious, which we cannot access until later on in life, such as after puberty. Our personality is split into three main parts. Firstly, there is the id. The id is

'Anthem.' uses the form of a sonnet to portray a distressing message that flows slowly as you would imagine a funeral march. 'Dulce.' also has a distressing message but is portrayed in contradiction to its title. The idea of nationalism, and much it's worth is explored.

In support of this thesis, I have been analysing feminist theories and the genre of gender in a literary context in order to support my investigations into what it is that makes Ovid particularly distressing to read for a female reader.

In her article ‘Reading
