Comparing Austen & Ibsen: Women & Finance in 19th-Century Literature

"While Jane Austen’s romance often distracts us from her heroines’ realities, Henrik Ibsen stares financial oppression dead in the face and offers his heroines hope."

Macbeth and Banquo encounter the witches for the first time.

Théodore Chassériau - Musée d'Orsay

The painting vividly captures the eerie moment from Shakespeare's Macbeth when the two Scottish generals meet the three witches on a desolate heath.

Chassériau's Romantic style infuses the scene with dramatic tension and supernatural atmosphere. Macbeth and Banquo, dressed in rich, flowing garments and mounted on horseback, confront the witches, who are ghostly and otherworldly in appearance. The witches stand or hover in unnatural postures, with windswept robes and haunting expressions, emphasizing their mystical power and unsettling presence.

so we’re doing the 1960s and leah who’s eleven
nearly twelve says what’s vietnam sir and scott
who has already turned twelve but looks about eight
says it’s in korea isn’t it sir and stephanie laughs
well sort of snorts and looks like she might pee herself
and i say no but it is in the far east like korea
and we look on the map i bought and tacked to the wall
and see why north vietnam was supported by china
but not quite why south vietnam was supported by the usa
and then rab whose name is robbie but he prefers rab
spots korea and says look there’s a north and a south
just like that vietnam hingy and thomas says
wasn’t there a war there too and aiden says shut up
twatface and I have to send him out to mrs lennon
and thomas says it again and we see that north korea
was supported by china and that the americans found
another way of fighting another war a long way from home
and then katie who is very quiet most of the time
says no that wasn’t in the past because it’s happening
today it’s happening now she saw it on her phone
and that we’re all going to die tomorrow or the day after
and both rebeccas stand up waving their hands shouting
we’re not are we sir we’re not are we we’re not going to die
tomorrow are we sir and I say no but what would we do if
we thought we were going to die tomorrow how would we feel
maybe we can make a play about it let’s get into groups
