A Low Art
[ Excerpt form The Penelopiad ]
by Margaret Atwood
( Canada )
A low art talks about the view of Penelope in her husband Odysseus. Odysseus has this persona of being a sweet talker. Odysseus played a trick to her wife that makes many people believed his version of events , even Penelope . After several , Penelope realize that people are talking behind her back , they were making fun of Penelope , they were laughing behind her back.
So Penelope turn to do the revenge . She called it " LOW ART " its a kind of an art that the people who have low-class . Its gossiping , a revised story-telling . In our generation today , gossiping are often done through the use of internet , texts or by the word of mouth. I know some of us experience a kind of this and it was a not good experience. This was the cause why we have a low self-esteem. Gossiping can even ruin our life and can be the causes of having an increased rate of people.
Penelope don't mind of them instead she's pretending to be blind and deaf even though she would have the guts to fight for her rights but she already knows that she won't won against her husband. So despite of all bad things that his husband do to her still she's staying loyal and faithful because she love her husband so much. That's how pity the status of the woman before. Before and now has a big difference. In the end of the story Penelope realize everything and learn her lesson.
