Darling also explores widespread fears of sexual violence, which for women, become "a metaphor for their own confusion over what is permitted and what is not." She offers quotations from Allison H. Mnookin '92, former Crimson President Rebecca L. Walkowitz '92 and Kathryn I. Frucher '93 to illustrate this atmosphere of fear and confusion...
...devices of destruction. Underground, an army of inept "Troglodists" (sort of Middle- Age Mutant Dingy Frogmen) plots revolution.

They share a remarkable optimism, a feeling that their pain-filled battles and close brushes with death have lifted their lives out of the ordinary. If cancer is a metaphor, as Sontag suggests, it is not just a metaphor for death and dying. The message coming from the cancer survivors is that their terrible disease has a capacity to inspire hope as well as dread...
