Margaret Atwood “Siren Song”

After researching Siren in Greek mythology I found that they were women who served as seductresses. This poem is stating that it can be hard to resist something and when you don't something bad may result. This can be seen in the second stanza where it states that there are skull bones, but men still come. The women do not enjoy being on the island, but it seems like they have nothing else to do so this keeps them entertained. The speaker wants to control someone else because she doesn't have control over her own life.
