Document Summary

Headless wiseman (how wise can he be?) She says she wants another baby but she is (secretly) taking bcp. They both have changed but neither wants to accept it. They are both dealing with the grief completely differently. She think he wants to replace the baby with another. She gets images of giving birth to a colossus . Juxtaposition of religious images with pop culture. She can"t handle both the loss of the baby and her faith. He still have faith/hope that she will come back passive. He does like that she never admits that she can make mistakes. She always has to be right which means he is always wrong. He stepped up!!! (gave up degree/dream, proposed) He worshipped the baby worshipped her secondarily. Emotionally unintelligent childish way of looking at her coping mechanism. Passage of the guide describing the sacrificial well. All the symbols have a common theme sacrifice.
