Passage #1
Author: Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Title: Six Tragedies
Character (s): Megara and Lycus
Time Period: During the ancient Roman Empire (16th Century)
The woman is not happy about the marriage and compares herself to a slave, creating a picture of someone that is not treated well by the husband. Despite her feeling, the woman swears fidelity to her husband and tells him that no matter what happens, she will die hers. However, the husband refutes her claim by posing the question: can a band husband really make you that brave? It is clear that the husband is trying his all to make the woman happy but circumstances are working against him. Using the statement “An enormous mass of earth is weighing him down” creates an image of a man overwhelmed by circumstances.
Passage #2
