Babylon the Great: pg. 191
Completely immoral, femme fatale, sinful, female role model. Good comparisons would be Lindsey Lohan in her worst years- thank goodness Babylon's in hell.
Note: This sonnet was coupled with 'Our Mothers' so is a really good pair to compare. Also LOTS of references to Revelation (final book in the bible) and sin symbolism- look Revelation up or go on youtube to find someone explaining it.
Question: Which woman/ person do you want to be- a woman in Our Mother or 'Babylon The Great?'
