Theodore Roethke’s citation, “In a dark time, the eye begins to see,...” can be interpreted that when things get extremely hard then the eyes will begin to see the truth. It is obvious that tough moments can be enlightening. Two historical text books that are related to this critical lens are “Narrative of Frederick Douglass” by himself and “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe.
The theme from Frederick Douglass book can be an relevant example of story that is related to this critical lens because slaves used to sneak out at night time to escape from slavery chain in the South. In fact, they were dehumanized by certain unalienable rights that God, the creator endowed to all human. Consequently, some slaves were caught to bring back to slavery. In addition those who reached north became autonomous. Above all slavery was the worst system that denied some ethnicity with certain rights and caused those people to struggle both day and night time for escaping from that ugly chain.
Okonkwo the main character in the story "Think Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe can be another example of story that related to critical lens when he was denied to choose his own faith by the white missionary who settled in the village named Umofia.
