blog set 11

in the short story Berenice egaeus was born in a chamber in the story he says when he was younger all he used to do was read books so right then and there you can tell he wasn't a normal child because there is no child I know that all he does is read books. also in the story it say he grew up in the chamber with his cousin Berenice.  but they grew up differently he was ill of health and buried In gloom and she was agile gracious and overflowing with energy. basically they were two different people. but in my opinion as they got older Berenice was the one who got sick. later in the storty egagues starts to show his love for her. also itsays howhewas seeing her but not in the human being way. in my opinion I woiuld say he was just hallucinatingor he was just dreaming that he was seeing things.

the story the furnished room was a really short story it was a little different from Berenice ofcourse the women dies but the difference in the story was how they died. in the furnished room there was a man searcing for a women he fell in love with. he came across this room were he was just going to rest but he found something different. one reason how you can tell he was really in love woth this women was e could tell she was in the room. in the story it says he smelled her perfume. basically he kept getting out these little clue tat she was there. it was kind of crazy at the end when the housekeeper was talking to another lady about miss sprowls. basically they were saying that she committed suicide. when I was reading it I was wondering why tey didn't tell the man tht she committeed suicide. was it that they didn't want to scare him?

 the last short story was the boarded man in this short story the boarded window when I saw the title I automatically thought this wa going to e a different type of story from the title. it was basically about a man named murlock who built acabin. basically he was a widow his wife died. she was delirious and had a fever back then they were no doctors in miles and they had no noghbors and she was in no health to be left alone so he took care of her but in three days shepasses. it was kind of weird thought because it eas like he didn't even cry. but the book said that he shad no experience in grieving. but iknow it hurt that his wife died if he had nobody else. because if my significant other died I would've been balling tears. but it said he just sat there by the body tearless.

  1. I still don't understand the whole purpose of the housekeepers keeping the girls death to themselves. In my opinion they should feel guilty for not telling him because he ends up killing himself after not finding her. Or maybe he would of killed himself regardless after finding out. Also, I think the man must of been in shock that his wife died because it's impossible that he didnt cry at all.

  2. I thought it was odd that Murlock didn't grieve over his wife, but it's possible. i know some people who feel absolutely nothing when they have a love one die. Also, Eageus was just completely insane. I want to know how he got that illness in the first place honestly.
