“Bluebeard's Egg” by Margaret Atwood is a story centered around a woman named Sally, describing her relationship with her husband, Ed , and her best friend, Marylynn. The story is told in a third-person perspective, a "God-like" figure who guides us throughout the narration, but only revealing the thoughts of one character, Sally. In the story “Bluebeard’s Egg,” the main conflict lies within the protagonist, Sally; that is, his external self against his internal self. Sally's external self does not act according to her internal self. In other words, Sally does not express her emotions and thoughts due to the many concerns she has, both psychological and environmental. From the first paragraph we already get a glimpse of the situation - Sally lives with a man called Edward, who is most certainly her husband, and Sally also looks after her children, whom they did not have together. From this, readers can guess that this is probably not Ed's first marriage and it is logical to think that Sally is aware of this fact. The reason for Ed's previous divorces remains unknown, even to Ed himself (or so we are told), Sally will not let this happen again, she will be his perfect wife and "the one" for his life. Internally, this frustrates Sally, who fears that Ed will one day realize that she is not the "real bride". “What if he woke up one day and decided that she wasn't the real wife after all, but the fake one? Then she will be put in a barrel filled with nails and rolled down, endlessly, while he sits in another bridal bed, drinking champagne” (773). This passage not only fully reveals Sally's frustration and worries but also her insecurity. Limited by the idea of ​​getting divorced in the middle of a paper......with Ed and Marylynn, and it makes a lot of sense that one would do so. However, readers may find reading this story more beneficial if they can learn something from it. The lesson behind this story is that you should not repress your feelings and emotions too much and that you should let these feelings out by seeking forms of release or by simply expressing your feelings. It could be argued that Sally's self-esteem is what ultimately led to her downfall, however we must keep in mind that confidence and self-approval, not to be confused with arrogance, are also what individuals need to live a fun and fulfilling life. It might be an exaggeration to say that our protagonist is living a lie, but it's easy to say that she's not living her life as her true self, her inner self, and that she may never be happy in this life if it continues. live this way.
