    Do all old men truly possess wisdom because they can see their death on the horizon? Wisdom is a very valued and respected trait in our society and is associated with the elderly. In both King Lear by William Shakespeare and Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, the protagonists were able to acquire wisdom after undergoing trials and tribulations. However, both these men began their quest as completely different people, polar opposites even. Morrie always emphasized the value of family and love, while King Lear saw these as trivial pursuits which at best can be used to elevate his ego. Morrie was disappointed by the way things were in his society, while initially King Lear did not care too much for it and accepted it. Morrie viewed death as completely natural and even an ideal way to live, while King Lear still wanted to live the life of a king despite dividing his land between his daughters. Despite being very different in both character and beliefs initially, both King Lear and Morrie came to acquire true wisdom by experiencing a fact of life which we regard as a phenomena; death.…

    While reading “Kin to Sorrow”, by Edna St. Vincent Millay, the many references towards “Marigolds”(7) and “rosemary”(8) suggest that the author aspires to over come the looming shadow of Sorrow. The personification of Sorrow as a person gives the image that the narrator is “accustomed”(5) to Sorrow and all that he brings along with him. Knocking on the door “neither loud nor soft”(4) Sorrow passes by the elegant flowers, as if mocking them, only to bring the narrator the painful and morose emotions that parade along with him. “Oh, Come in!”(16) says the Narrator to Sorrow in the last line of the poem; I felt a personal connection with this line because I believe that to kill one with kindness is the best way to act towards someone who is unhappy.…
