The lobby/front hallway of the interior of the museum was so open and airy I felt very small and that the design was made to ...

Periodically throughout the last two millennia or so, Pagans, or followers of classical polytheisms found themselves facing oppression or persecution. As the influence of Christianity grew, the term “pagan” was used to broadly describe any non-Christians. Attempts to suppress Paganism successfully erased many Pagan rituals and demolished or covered sacred sites, but early Christianity was far from uniform between different regions and different blendings of Paganism and Christianity occasionally emerged.

Abstract

This essay deals with the notion and symbolism of death in Sylvia Plath’s poem “Lady Lazarus.” She speaks of her suicide attempts in a very intimate way, because for her, the fact that she was revived, that she was the female embodiment of the Biblical Lazarus, was no miracle.
