    Into The Life of a Queen Based on Wiseman’s “Queen Bee and her Court” As you grow older it becomes apparently abundant in your social clique, as well as the ones that you observe, that there is one central member that controls the group. This is often times referred to as the queen bee. The queen bee is generally the sole leader over everyone in their particular social group, and their influence may reach beyond their exclusive pack.

    . . to no avail.” (Unabridged Journals 658) In every draft of “Stings,” including the published version, the third stanza ends with the speaker asking about the hive and if there “is there any queen at all in it?” (Drafts in Facsimile 15) The search for the queen bee in the poem is evidently a true event as told by Plath in her journals.

Not only does Warner give us the facts about this issue, but she catches our emotions as well. Using pathos, our hearts get pulled in as soon as she tells us the sad story of Megan, “What she didn’t know-what her parents learn six weeks after her death- was that “Josh” was the fictitious creation of Lori Drew” (Warner, 506). Not only is…
