“Bluebeard's Egg” by Margaret Atwood is a story centered on a woman called Sally, who describes her relationship with her husband, Ed , and her best friend, Marylynn. The story is told in a third-person perspective, a “God-like” figure accompanying us through the entire narrative, but revealing only the thoughts of one character, Sally. In the story “Bluebeard's Egg”, the main conflict is within the protagonist, Sally; that is, his external self versus 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 numerous concerns she has, both psychological and environmental. From the first paragraph we are already given an idea of ​​the situation: Sally lives together with a man called Edward, who is definitely her husband, and Sally also takes care of her children, which they did not have together. From there on readers can guess that this is probably not Ed's first marriage and it is logical to assume that Sally is aware of this. The reason for Ed's previous divorces remains unknown, even to Ed himself (or so we are told), Sally is obligated to not let it happen again, she will be his perfect wife and "the one" in his life. Internally, this frustrates Sally, who fears that Ed will one day realize that she is not the "real bride". “What if one day he wakes up and decides that she's not the real bride, but the fake one? Then she will be put in a barrel full of nails and rolled down the hill, endlessly, while he sits in another wedding bed, drinking champagne” (773). This passage not only fully reveals Sally's frustration and worries but also her insecurity. Bound by the thought of divorcing with... half a sheet of paper... with Ed and Marylynn, and it is very logical that it should be done this way. However, readers may find it more useful to read this story if they can learn from it. The lesson behind this story is that one should not repress one's feelings and emotions too extensively and should let these feelings out by seeking forms of release or simply expressing one's feelings. It could be argued that Sally's 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 may be an exaggeration to say that our protagonist is living a lie, but it's easy to say that she is not living her life as her true self, her inner self, and can never be happy in this life if she continues. live this way.
