The Observational Octopus We’ve all heard some variation of a story in which an octopus has escaped its enclosure, gone about its business, and returned to its tank, all without leaving any evidence for the staff or guards.

ours are numerous; the Bermuda triangle, the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot and many more; but none of them trumps the disappearance of a nation overnight completely engulfed the ocean, which later through the course of history came to be known as the Atlantic Ocean. Addressing the elephant in the room, Atlantis was supposed to be a work of fiction by Athenian philosopher Plato, depicted as one of the most contentious and fascinating works ever written. According to Alan F. Alford, British writer…

Through analysis of the biased, first-person narration of the novel, as well as the dynamics between…
