What Can Be Inspired By Reading?
I recently finished reading the novel ‘Circe’ by Madeline Miller. Miller’s interpretation of Circe's myths made Circe more relatable as a person. Someone more human than a witch or even a goddess. I think in modern times, humans treasure this more than some god-like beings that are cruel, mean, and selfish. It showed sides of what kind of life she had to deal with and the confusion she went through trying to understand it. I focused on Circe's self-worth as a character that is shown by her transition from an exploitative life to a compassionate life. When we first meet Circe, we experience the relationship she has with her family. The quote, “My mother whelped again, a boy. My father blessed him, but spoke no prophecy, so my mother looked around for somewhere to leave him.” (Circe, pg 27) This is the first time that Circe sees her mother not value her children unless she can use them. It is also the first time she asks for something from her mother, which is to take care of her brother. This proves that she has the Instinct to be compassionate towards others. But it also reflects the kind of life she wants without realizing it. Comparing it to how she raised her brother with motherly love of comfort and bring him a sense of wonderment to how she raised her son with fear and protection.
