...What is boredom and what causes it? Boredom is a mental weariness, dullness, dreariness, tedium, and a monotony. Boredom is experienced when a person lacks activity or when a person becomes uninterested in tasks that surround them. A person who has been on a job for an extended period of time often becomes bored by the repetition of doing the same thing for such a long period of time. When a person becomes bored from doing the same type job, they lose interest in what they are doing and they need a challenge to excite them and fill their need to relieve their boredom. Boredom causes people to look for something that will satisfy them and bring them a feeling of fulfilment. Anything that becomes repetitious, causes people to become bored and suffer a lack of interest in whatever they are doing. Our minds require change or we become dull and unable to take an interest in functioning in a proper manner. Boredom causes us to have difficulty concentrating on our current activities because they have become a monotony to us. Boredom occurs in people when they are doing something they have to do and are sick and tired of doing it. People who suffer from boredom are seeking stimulation and a challenge because they are tired of the same monotony and they are finding it harder and harder to perform their tasks. Many people suffer from different types of boredom, i.e., when they are not allowed to do something we desire to do; when they are doing something they are being forced to do;...

...In all of the three stories, we are told about extraordinary events through the eyes of ordinary characters with monotony rich lives. Each one reacts differently to the extraordinary. In “Sleep” the narrator sees the event as a waking up call to free herself from a life so dull and monotonous states she even stat “I used to keep a diary, but if I forgot for two or three days, I’d lose track of what happened on which day”(81). Her reaction is probably the most positive from the three. Our other two narrators aren’t as lucky. The narrator from “The Elephant Vanishes” ends up giving in completely into the “pragmatic” world after his one break from his monotonous lonely life, the elephant, vanishes. At the end of the story, he explains “I continue...

...Many children take their mothers for granted, and many mothers never bother to make an effort to change this mindset in their children. Svava Jakobsdóttir’s short story “A Story for Children” is a satirical example of this societal ideology. In “A Story for Children,” a mother loses her brain to her children’s curiosity and desire to “see what a person’s brain looks like,” and then has her heart removed when her children leave the house and stop talking to her (Jakobsdóttir 383). The mother in this story is brutalized by her many children and neglected by her emotionally distant husband, provoking her to turn to the monotony of daily routine – thus the loss of her brain in the beginning of the story – so she can avoid thinking too deeply about what her life has turned into, despite the fact that she herself did cause it a little since she never managed to learn to deny her children whatever they wished. The brain in this story represents the mother’s ability to think and do things for herself rather than solely focusing on her children. In the very beginning, Jakobsdóttir writes about how the mother kept a women’s magazine on the kitchen bench to “[sneak] a look it whenever she got a chance”, but even then she feels guilty about...

Paul’s actual case is one of great debate, and there are a lot of theories as to what his “problem” was or if he even had one to begin with. Despite all the debate, it is undeniable that a large part of Paul’s problems are rooted within his own feelings and delusions. The biggest problem for Paul is this underlying sense of emptiness and fear of smallness (Saari 4). “he had always been tormented by fear, a sort of apprehensive dread … There had always been the shadowed corner, the dark place into which he dared not look” (Cather 95). Paul’s longing for a life of luxury and grandeur is his fantasy or escape from the dreading feeling of monotony and mediocrity in his life....
