The first in-class essay on " Lanscape with the Fall of Icarus"

         In "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" William Carlos suggesting the sad theme without expression or telling the exact. But if i based on the painting from Brugel i can see the theme telling me something that going wrong in that moment.
         According to the poem that Icarus fell i was spring but then people in the painting just standing there. And they showing no emotional. It just like nothing happened. But why these people acting like that when they saw Icarus was fall into an ocean. There must be something that they are jealous about Icarus. Something he has but they don't. Based on the painting i would see and figure out that Icarus and few people are in the same boat. they must stuck in this island as jail as well. And they are trying to find some way to get out of there.
         Icarus must be the one who figured out the way to escape that island by a flight way. And because of that. People in that island have jealous of Icarus. But like naturally when people jealous, they are not showing outcome. But like inside they been keeping it and wait for the chance to revenge. But it's naturally people were born in jealous and greedy!
         And when Icarus's day came he already to fly away from this land. And based on that poem and the painting. We could image that an ocean and the sky are waiting. The ocean have no wave or roaring. And the  sky were blue and yellow as it concern for Icarus. But then when Icarus set to flee away, there is something wrong with his equipment. He started flying and thought that he will make the great escape. But unfortunately, his equipment falling apart, he started falling and drowning in the ocean without a trace.
         Instead people in the island cry out they just back to what they working on. And no one would know Icarus exist or not. They couldn't find his body. Actually they don't really want try to find it. And why would they care!
