Man gone mad
The Poem "Progressive Insanities of a Pioneer" By Margaret Atwood is about a man moving to a wild place, a place of unconquerable chaotic nature. ... It makes several questions come to mind, why is this man so afraid of nature? ... This man would never give up, until finally after years of uncompliant nature he let "the unnamed whale" the true reality of the situation sink in. ... This man went from being a strong-willed pioneer in a new land scared of chaotic randomness. ... To finally a weary man beginning to look at things realistically.
