Post By Lizzy Chulack -- Historical Events / Middlesex

Thank you Judith for letting me post on your account

So far every major event in middle sex has been coupled with a major historical event. In discussing this with my group we came up with a few ideas as to why this would be. First off we found coupling these events together as a point of reference in the story, this reference blends with Cal's selfproclaimed style of 'Homeric Writing'. Also our group came to the conclusion that by tying events in the in the novel with historical events detracts the importance from the happenings in Cal's life. Maybe as a result of his insecurity with his idenity.
