Sontag's Illness as Metaphor and Conceptions of Tuberculosis. This paper is written about Sontag's illness as metaphor and conceptions of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis has a long association in the human memory with conditions of deprivation, over-work and the romantic declines of assorted artists compelled for their art to dwell in situations of equally romantic poverty. Sontag has reviewed the history of TB in its old term of 'consumption', noting that the disease was regarded in a way resembling common attitudes to cancer, as enabling processes by which the human body was essentially consumed.
