본문내용
The poem “Everybody Knows” by Leonard Cohen is a pessimistic and apocalyptic commentary about the separation between common knowledge and proof. The speaker starts by generally acknowledging the ineffectuality of life as shown by experience, “Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed , Everybody knows that the war is over , Everybody knows the good guys lost , Everybody knows the fight was fixed ,The poor stay poor, the rich get rich” (Cohen 1-6). Additionally, the poem hints at the positive things people want to have in life while denying the underlying reality of life, “Everybody knows that the boat is leaking, everybody knows that the captain lied” (Cohen 9-10) while the reality is that the boat is actually sinking. These assumptions in life have a huge impact afterwards. By assuming that the boat is leaking while it is sinking can cause death through drowning. Therefore, people should always face the reality in life to avoid mistakes that cannot be rectified.
The speaker also describes love and its results.
