In illness, there is a “poverty of the language,” to express physical pain, for sickness has never been able to gather its own “vocabulary” (Woolf 583). Finding words to express “this monster” that is illness is frightening; it creates confusion and fear (Woolf 583). As Woolf describes it: “The merest schoolgirl, when…

The novel Ethan Frome, by Edith Wharton, chronicles the life of a mysterious crippled hermit by the name of Ethan Frome as a flashback to his star-crossed relationship from his youth. In the process of relaying this story, Wharton characterizes Frome’s constantly ill-stricken wife as a villainous dead weight to his free spirit.

While this point is certainly relevant, the Aedes Aegypti was nearly wiped out already in the mid 19th century in order to contain Yellow fever, efforts only stopped after funding for the program dried up (Kaufman, 1). The other major con is that another species of mosquito could occupy the vacuum left by Aedes Aegypti. This species, virtually unopposed, could proliferate extremely…
