He is in despair, for "loomy songs make no feigned tears bedew my face. Then could no fear so overcome to leave me companionless upon my way." (Book 1, p.1) But Boethuis is not alone, because like in "The Dream of the Rood," his pen, his muse, and the nature of human Fortune itself are all speakers in his cell.
Likewise, the relationship between the philosopher, his muse in the form of his pen and the relationship of Christ and the cross is both loving and adversarial. The relationship between Boethius and his writing with a pen and his eventual fate are also paradoxical in the sense that Christ needs the Rood or Cross to fulfill His earthy mission to save humanity, and Boethuis' needs his pen.

(French 129) Medieval medicine was truly not a dark practice of seedy solutions to unknown and superstitious problems. It was the
It follows that the material search for riches and honor, the desires of the flesh and other aspects that constitute the material world"...lead people astray from what is their true good." (Boethius - the Consolation of Philosophy) This view is also related to other philosophical questions, such as the difference between good and evil and why evil exits in the world in the first palace. Evil is defined as a
Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy In the ancient Roman Empire, the power of the state was beginning to break down. The new religious movement, Christianity, was converting more and more citizens and was spreading out beyond borders and the limits of national influence.
