Loved it. It depicts place of a woman in a patriarchal society. Her exploitation by men and defame. It' s always the case that women are hated and taken more liable to punishments of society while men for same ethical crimes are held as ideal.

One of my favorites books and a favorite weapon.

Loved every poem to bits. Still keep reading it almost every night before going to bed. All poems are pregnant with revolutionary and romantic ideals.

Loved the poem and it was fun teaching. The allegory and allusions were quite fantastic and forced me to journey through Greek, Roman, and Biblical mythologies.

Life is misery and acceptance of this fact is the only way to make it less of a misery. Pessimism is wisdom and the only way out. Emil Cioran has always been a source of philosophical wisdom. His pessimism makes you strong.

Gloomy yet soothing at same time. Byron is always a good read.

The aesthetic and didactic poem with spirit of social change. Have always loved his poems.

Surely my favourite poet. Have always loved his lines and the sweet blend of pain for love and liberty. He has been an inspiration.

I taught it in class and my students loved it. It presents a different view on life and society. The theory of Superman and going beyond good and evil to proceed forward in human evolution.
The text is in form of sermons that Zarathustra delivers which makes it look like a religious book and that is so clever of Nietzsche how he uses the character of Prophet Zarathustra -who introduced ethics in ancient times- to go beyond good and evil.

The first romantic tragedy I read when I was in 7th standard. I have always loved every single verse from this play and I had remembered them by heart as a boy.
