The Inverted Bell Jar.

The Priest raising the communion host during mass in a Maltese Church calls out Allah, as that is the word for God in their local language.

To mock is no FoE. The demand for immunity from society in Obsessive mocking in whatever forms of art is an irrational demand.

The struggle in pain often leads one to express this pain in an art form. Mocking a belief/section of society temporarily relieves the pain.

As any drug, mocking to relieve the pain also becomes obsessive, to the point that it makes the hurt permanent and the abuser a fascist.

Sylvia Plath in her poem Daddy says - ""Every woman loves a fascist... the boot in the face.""

When someone wants to kill itself, it first desires to kill someone else. That desire leads to self-slaughter.

History has innumerable instances where men committed suicide to prove a point to the society at large. This is Altruism at its worst.

These altruists who laid down their lives for some cause or pain always finished grand, saying "I died out of my own choice & place & time."

Thus the Bell Jar was actually inverted and that too to only keep the feelings/emotions trapped in it. The other way round, it couldn't be even named a Bell Jar.
