i’ve written six pages of a ten page paper and i’m still not sure what my argument is
‘The Entombment of Christ’ - Caravaggio, 1602-3.
This painting is one of the Counter-Reformation. The use of chiaroscuro highlights the diagonal arrangement of those bearing and mourning Christ - one notices a gradient of emotion. The eye moves from the figure on the top right, who is wild with grief, along each increasingly subdued figure, culminating in death and the final emotional silencing.

“Responsibility to yourself means that you don’t fall for shallow and easy solutions—predigested books and ideas…marrying early as an escape from real decisions, getting pregnant as an evasion of already existing problems. It means that you refuse to sell your talents and aspirations short…and this, in turn, means resisting the forces in society which say that women should be nice, play safe, have low professional expectations, drown in love and forget about work, live through others, and stay in the places assigned to us. It means that we insist on a life of meaningful work, insist that work be as meaningful as love and friendship in our lives. It means, therefore, the courage to be “different”…The difference between a life lived actively, and a life of passive drifting and dispersal of energies, is an immense difference. Once we begin to feel committed to our lives, responsible to ourselves, we can never again be satisfied with the old, passive way.”
— ― Adrienne Rich (via marslipstick)

[TW Rape, Incest, Abortion]
I once read a book by a male catholic reacher that was addressing issues facing young catholics. One question was “Is abortion still wrong, even in the case of rape or incest?” and the author had the audacity to answer “A woman will forget the rape before she forgets the abortion”. ABHORRENT.
