inevitablity, cause + effect

• i knew not this hard life... but there is crime- a brother's bloody knife'


  gained clarity on brothers cruelty, becoming agent of own actions, their actions caused this
• pale shadow', 'wild' eyes, 'piteous tongue', tale of murder= 'horrid woof of the late darken'd time'


  lorenzo's ghost= calls on gothic genre, revelation of his murder
• and in dawn she started up awake; ha! ha! ha! said she'


  becoming agent of her own actions because of lorenzo's request, immediately after dream, drawn from her misery
• hast schooled my infancy


  effect of brothers' lies and deceit, she is given agency by lorenzo revealing truth in dream
• her brethren wonder'd much why she sat drooping by the basil green... greatly wonder'd what the thing might mean'

  'therefore they watch'd'


  caused by their action (murder of lorenzo), effect on isabella= deterioration and obsession
• yet they contriv'd to steal the basil pot'


  curiosity over cause of their sisters deterioration, what caused her to be so unmarketable
• away they went with blood upon their heads, to banishment'


  revelation causes departure, avoiding justice and taking away their sisters pot
• and so she pined... so she died forlorn imploring for her basil pot to the last'


  cause of lorenzo's request and brothers stealing pot, causes her to die with no catharsis at end
• o cruelty, to steal my basil pot away from me'


  become a victim of men and their actions, never given justice or a flourishing love
