Discuss ways in which two stories explore loss. Both ?The Bath? and ?The Prison? explore loss. Although both stories deal with the theme of loss, ?The Bath? explores physical loss, as the old woman has to deal with the loss of her husband, while loss in ?The Prison? is mostly metaphorical, with Tommy having lost all desire to enjoy his current life as he dwells forever in the past.
