The poem could be the metaphor for the traumatic event. It is also possible that the speaker just has a really bad headache and wanted to write about it. And it can be assumed the speaker was not…

In As I Lay Dying, by William Faulkner, Darl was always perceived as mildly insane. He was able to know and understand things that he shouldn’t know. In “A Streetcar Named Desire,” by Tennessee Williams, Stella’s sister Blanche lied throughout the play in order to change the way she was perceived. She was also unable to keep her secrets and painful memories which led to her insanity. In As I Lay Dying and “A Streetcar Named Desire,” both Darl and Blanche’s levels of sanity decreased when they…
