The bee box

In this poem she is directly speaking about a box which she probably orderd
1st she describes the shape of it and she denote s it as a chair a heavy one
Then her imagins it as a coffin of dwarf a pigmy or a square baby
Square baby seems bit absurd
Then sge finds it bit noisy while there r neither any visible windows nor any exit
Only a little enterance as usually happens to ve in a bee box
Exactly here her Electra complex in my opinion is almost certain to mention
Electre complex means the exassisive love and adherement of a girl for her father
It is a keep nd of obsession
N as she is having an obssessive n compulsive personality so this title is apt
[11/10, 9:22 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Here in line 5 to 7 can v compare these lines as if  she is trying to portray her own inner feelings
A lots of noise inside her mind but no way out??
[11/10, 9:24 PM] pu ms ayesha: I think yes V can as her work done is distinctly reflects ambivalence this is to fluctuate or confusion
[11/10, 9:24 PM] Pu Saleha Saira: Samin her all poem are description of her inner feelings
Most of critics says her poetry is directly autobiographical
[11/10, 9:25 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Although she was an intellegent student from the beginning yet a part of dissatisfaction always there in her mind
Her 1st suicidal attempt was due to her failure to obtain an admission
[11/10, 9:27 PM] pu ms ayesha: U're right
N that is y she is considered to be a patron fr depressed teenager girls
[11/10, 9:30 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Every writer wether he is a poet or a playwright he depicts from his own observations and reflects  his own being through his work
[11/10, 9:32 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Here is some keep nd of taunt or sarcastic view about how the Blacks were treated by americans espacially how the people were used to export them
[11/10, 9:33 PM] pu ms ayesha: The box remain no longer box fr hr as it becomes a visible expression of hr own self longing fr love
[11/10, 9:34 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Enthralled ,or chained in shakles though here chains or shakels r not mentioned yet the box is like a jail with no exit but grids where anyone can peep only
[11/10, 9:36 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Now further she says how can she help them out
She is so afraid of the swormy noise
Here again she reflects her in security and fear
[11/10, 9:37 PM] pu ms ayesha: It delineates n reflects her benevolent n bouyant approach towards humans
[11/10, 9:38 PM] pu ms ayesha: a poet or playwright should certainly ought to be sensitive in nature to procure the essence of life
[11/10, 9:43 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Here i want to explain the roman Mob
It means a millions of people works under an emperor
So in bee swarm its always under their queen
In roman mob emperors also had some obligations they had to keep people happy otherwise they were deprived of throne
[11/10, 9:45 PM] Pu Naila Aun: I m not a caesar
Here v feel her faminine touch
That she cant control a mob of bees coz she is not the king of Rome
[11/10, 9:47 PM] Pu Naila Aun: In this poem again she is talking about death "they can die"
[11/10, 9:50 PM] pu ms ayesha: Yes n particularly in the way of mentioning emperor Ceasar there is a feature if Ceasar 's cruelty n harshness if V read history
[11/10, 9:50 PM] Pu Naila Aun: And her longing for security and of respect as she want to set them free in a childish way she has been longing for security ro hide her self behind a tree
Here probably from the worries of her life she wished for a manly body a hiding place for her
[11/10, 9:50 PM] pu ms ayesha: So here her feminism depicts that she is the 1 who gives the poem a sleek n soft touch
[11/10, 9:53 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Line 30 is pointing towards the statement which v ve learnd in her intro
That i m not a source of honey"
She expressed about herself that i can not love any one except myself i can only be affectionate about others like me"
Is this relvent to this line Ma'm Saleha?
[11/10, 9:57 PM] Pu Naila Aun: So it was tje crotical apreciations outline and also the parapharasing
Any other point which v must keep in sight? Suggestion s from worthy ma'mz
[11/10, 10:01 PM] pu ms ayesha: Yes pls
I am not a source of honey
[11/10, 10:02 PM] pu ms ayesha: Does it depict her life journey of being neglected by her mommy n then by husband
[11/10, 10:03 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Honey belongs to sweetness
Her hatered to her mother and to her husband
To her father too coz he died so early in her childhood
She lost the ability to love anyone in the consequence s
[11/10, 10:05 PM] pu ms ayesha: They might ignore me immediately further bears out her experience of behaviour of life partner
[11/10, 10:06 PM] pu ms ayesha: Her mental wavering  diversity of feminism manifestation
[11/10, 10:08 PM] Pu Umme Rubab: She wants security from male but at same time does not want to lose her freedom.
Dual personality.
[11/10, 10:10 PM] Pu Umme Rubab: Box can be a symbol for woman life.Mentioning of African hands to slavery.
[11/10, 10:10 PM] Pu Umme Rubab: *of slavery
[11/10, 10:11 PM] Pu Umme Rubab: Mentioning of coffin her upcoming death.
[11/10, 10:12 PM] pu ms ayesha: Yes very true
But pls elaborate what does Sweet God mean
Is it going to depict tge sense she is considering her self to decree the sleve bees freedom tomorrow morning
[11/10, 10:15 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Free from everything is her god like feeling
[11/10, 10:44 PM] Pu Naila Aun: Sweet God means that she will act sweetly like God and will set them free
She was a puritan and also was religious
So as she holds tje image of God as A sweet and beneficent so after buying a bee box
After spending money she ll not gonna keep them slaves to her, and woyld set them free but not today today she is afraid of them but may be she would get that fear under cntrol by tomorrow and woud act sweetly
