Thought process for the week of Feb. 21

In class this week, I was placed in the group that got to read and discuss the poem "Mummy of a Lady Named Jemutesonekh XXI Dynasty". I really enjoyed reading this poem and hearing what the other members of my group thought it was about. In my eyes, I saw the poem to be a lot like the Corpse Bride. I totally read it as the groom of the bride to be was the one that killed her and then someone came back to kill her. While others in my group show this as possible, they didn't really think that it would talk about her loving him still had he killed her. However, my thought on the subject is that she loved him and never knew he was the one that killed her until she was dead. But in life, she loved him and knew nothing but love for him. I think that this poem can best be described by the last scene in the Corpse Bride when the main male character is about to drink poison to be with the dead bride. Then, the girl that the main character was suppost to marry comes in with the groom that killed the dead bride. Once the Corpse bride sees this man, she exlains how she still loves him even though he poisoned her and that he is the man she was suppost to marry. I totally think this is exactly what this poem is saying. All in all, I really liked this poem. It is probably my more favorite poem of the ones we have read thus far in class.
