Diagram Takeaway

By diagramming 31st page, I could find how Sappho had difficulty and struggled because of the triangular relationship among them. Also, diagramming helped me see more evident how we address from the beginning to the end even though there are many fragments we cannot really read. It connects every missing passage each other. It seems Sappho’s love was not eventually able to be accomplished. Sappho expresses her heartbroken emotion and she accepts her unattainable fate.
