About This Quote
I never saw Death before, and now I seeThat it is warring eyes in a woman's form.” This quote has many different meanings. It could mean that Death isn’t scary because Death is a woman's form. Death is a female form because women have been oppressed. By women being oppressed, they have been treated poorly and made to feel powerless, so they have been forced to take on a male form to gain power.
In other words, when people are oppressed, they often dress up in a way that makes them look powerful and commanding in order to gain control over their situation. This line of thinking also indicates that the most dangerous thing in the world is not death but rather oppression.
