Adele

That is when she visits Adele, who was in labor, it dawns on her that she can’t escape the cycle of motherhood. Adele’s birth reminds her of her natural position as a woman, where she “was fond of her children in an uneven, impulsive way” longed for her children, and sent them bonbons when they were with their grandmother (33). Edna has once said that she could sacrifice her life for her children, but never give up herself. Where she failed to become a mother-woman like Adele, and to become an…

as “pretty”. She says, “No one will love you if you’re unattractive”. She’s most likely experienced what it’s like to not feel pretty, and then people tell you that you need to “change” what you look like. My second song is Rolling in the Deep by Adele. It’s about a breakup she might’ve gone through. I really…
