The observation of the sontag is directed at the use of disease as an image or metaphor in our culture. Though, To him, Disease is not a metaphor, And the most honest way to view disease is to reject such metaphorical thinking. Fantasies thrive because cancer and tuberculosis are considered more than just deadly diseases: They are identified with death, As in franz kafka 's description of tuberculosis as "the germ of death itself". Various examples of metaphor and disease imagery described by sontag are rolled out of the minds of medical experts and psychiatrists. He also took greek and medieval writings to the writings of john keats, Charles dickens., Charles baldwin., Henry james., Thomas mann., James joyce., Katherine mansfield., Frank lloyd wright., - w.h. Auden, and other writers of our time. Sontag analyzed military and science fiction tamsils used to diskuss cancer, And the use of disease tamils in political rhetoric, By swapping examples from niccol machiavelli, Thomas hobbes., Edmund burke., John adams., Friedrich nietzsche, Filippo tommaso marinetti, Adolf hitler., Antonio gramsci., And leon trotsky.
