Panic



I chose this image because it reminded me of the passage we discussed in class on Tuesday. When Anna is in the elevator she is clearly in panic.  Although the elevator she was in was tightly fit with others, she had her eyes closed for the majority of it.  I feel as though a lot of the internal conflict that Anna feels is not necessarily dictated by immediate outside forces. Her sick feeling is present before she even realizes the man in the elevator is staring at her. While her panic was fueled by the crowed situation, what she is battling with is entirely internal at first.

I chose to look up the Rosenberg reference in the text because I have seen it in many other places. Julius and Ethel Rosenburg were executed June 19, 1953 for conspiracy to commit espionage.  They were suspected of giving the Soviet Union information about the atomic bomb.
