The Frying Pan :: essays research papers

     The metaphors that Conrad Hilberry stated in his poem The Frying Pan, verbalised some of the feelings that some women encounter throughout their life.In this poem I believe that Hilberry related this poem to a female that was in arelationship with a very controlling guy.     In the offshoot stanza it says I am another long-necked girl with the analogousface., a girl that has the same face makes me think of a girl that has noexpressions, and hardly incessantly shows emotion, and this could be because she wascontrolled by her boyfriend or husband.      Throughout the first stanza it states I am emptiness reflected in a lookingglass, a steer kept by a collar and leash, the first amour that comes to my mindwhen I read that is that there is a girl that feels asinine inside, and that she is kept ona leash by her signifi deposet other. whatever examples of this could be that her significantother could have beaten her, or verbally abused her by telling her that should couldnot do certain things, and that can relate to being on a leash. Also in the first stanzait says a round belly with something knocking to get in, this could have in mind to herboyfriend or husband. From saying a round belly this readiness mean that he is overweight, and saying that something is knocking to get in could mean that all hewants to do is to have sexual copulation with her, as in the something knockingrefers to his penis, and to get in could refer to her vagina.     In the Second Stanza when it says to cross the handle and she wouldbecome genus Venus could refer to geological fault up with her significant other and having theconfidence of being attractive because Venus is the goddess of love.
