In this image, Lange portrays pathos by displaying many forms of emotion all in one frame. Desperation is swept across the young mother’s face. She sits there, pondering what is going to happen next, worrying about where she is going to go next. Also, her face shows a sense of humility, and she knows she is trying her best.

Early medieval Irish literature thoroughly discusses the ideology of kingship; the tales about kingship both acted as exemplum literature for early Irish kings and, for modern scholars, elaborate on early Irish society 's values. Although there is no specific evidence which indicates that the tales were used as exemplum, it seems fairly clear. Certainly there was literature designed to educate king 's about their responsibilities. Audacht Morainn, a letter from an advisor to a prince, was clearly designed for just that purpose. The extent of the concern which early medieval literature has for kingship and, specifically, the values of kingship, indicates that this literature was intended for the education of kings as well as for entertainment.
