- 1172: Hope Is The Thing With Feathers

- ... and relationships. "It is striking that in woman there is a choice of two systems, one of which perpetuates juvenile independence while the other consigns women to man and childbearing.

- 1177: A Review of Blake's "The Chimney Sweeper"

The effect of this is to immediately evoke within the viewer, the idea that Shawshank exists to contain individuals from the outside world, to torment them with the beauty of nature, yet, force them to exist in a world of ugliness and hatred.
