Five Silly Puppets

There's a little puppet I know;
whose skin is as black as coal.
Try lavishing him with affection,
he reluctantly turns the other way.
Run away from him;
he follows you all the way home.

The second puppet;
she isn't any better.
She stomps around and pouts all day;
knowing when she won't get her way.
Twenty one she turns, the year after;
Hasn't grown any wiser.

Puppet Number Three has one foul mouth;
and a dirty mind to match.
What he whispers can be heard a mile away;
nothing pleasant can he say.
Slapping female behinds, is a favourite pass-time of his;
The thrill he gets from it, is one I will never understand.

Puppet Four seems like an angel;
generous and giving of all her resources.
Alas! There is one thing she hides;
that's her enormous pride.
She secretly thinks she was made to reach the stars;
She has far to go, incredibly far.

Puppet Five has his nose forever stuck up in the air;
And never does he play fair.
Keep going on the way you do, Mister;
your nose could grow as long as Pinocchios
inevitably reaching the Ozone;
and create a hole as problematic as the already existing one.

I could go on and on;
about flaws, remedial measures and righteous ways.
But who I am to say?
With dice, teacups and cards, I play my life away.
I could be just another one of them;
A puppet who has gone astray.

Wide Sargasso Sea (2006)


Antoinette Cosway, a young female landowner in 1840s Jamaica, marries Edward Rochester, despite receiving several warnings against doing so. As they become intimate and begin falling in love, their marriage seems headed off to a good start. It is only when Antoinette's old jamaican nurse, Christophine, grows more suspicious of Edward and Edward is influenced by Antoinette's cousin, Daniel; that the troubles begin. Daniel poisons Edward's mind about Antoinette, implying that she has already had a lover and is destined to become mentally retarded like her mother. He also mentions that she performs black magic with Christophine's help. Edward who was once strongly attached to his wife, starts to withdraw into his shell, leaving Antoinette devastated and unable to salvage her failing marriage. Antoinette decides to tell Edward the truth about her mother as well as her brother, confirming that madness does run in her family; this ,however, fails to bring them any closer. She then poisons his drink, all of a sudden blinding him with strong lust for her. His suspicions are confirmed the next morning, when he learns of what happened; this news, filling him with fury and disgust. He commits adultery with a servant soon after, and tells his wife that he does not love her. On discovering this, Antoinette withdraws emotionally as well. She is later taken to Rochester Mansion in England and kept guard on by a servant, due to her unstable mind. She is now called 'Bertha' and refuses to believe that she has been brought to England. The film ends with her setting fire to the mansion with her sleeping husband and maid still in it and ends up committing suicide by jumping off the roof.
