It sounds enticing at first, but their business plan is complicated when the two become romantically entwined. Aiden convinces Claire to make a forgery of After the Bath for him to sell, in exchange for a chance to show her own art in the Markel Art Gallery. Aiden, however, shows up at her studio with the Degas piece, After the Bath, which was famously stolen from the Gardner Museum decades ago. Exiled by the Boston art community because of an incident in her past, Claire is thrilled when renowned gallery owner Aiden Markel asks to see her work. Claire works for “” as a day job, making high-end copies of famous works for collectors. Shapiro’s 2010s-era heroine, Claire Roth, is a struggling painter with a talent for reproducing Impressionist paintings. The theft sets in motion the backdrop for Barbara Shapiro’s new novel, The Art Forger, part mystery, part romance, part historical fiction–but all-around entertaining. In 1990, two men disguised as policemen broke into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and stole Edgar Degas’ Impressionist painting After the Bath. In the metaphor of the poem, treacherous weather is used to illustrate and represent the struggles humans face in their lives, and their ability to survive them with hope. Dickinson uses the imagery of the hazardous sea in this poem, for example, the "gale" and the "storm" to emphasize the adversity that the little bird is facing. In many literary texts, the idea of harsh weather is used to symbolize extreme adversity and difficulty. What is the significance of weather in this poem? Much like human hope, the bird is a little thing that has surprising resilience. The bird doesn't endure because it is large and powerful (like a bear or wolf), it does so because it is persistent and internally strong. Dickinson invokes the bird because of its smallness and fragility. Hope also "perches" and "sings" like a bird, reinforcing this initial impression. Hope is depicted as having "feathers," which is the first indication that Dickinson is comparing it to a bird. Why does Dickinson refer to a bird at the beginning of the poem? I don’t want to give the rest of the book away as it would take away from the mystery of it all. When they find out what the witch wants Ennek to do, they continue out on their adventure.
