Unfortunately, Hulga and Rose do not realize that what gives birth to this craving is also what makes them ill-equipped to handle the situations that set them on their individual courses of transformation. 2) The characterization of our protagonist Connie is vital to an understanding of her ripeness for seduction in Joyce Carol Oates' short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" Connie's youth and vanity, coupled with her antagonistic relationship with the members of her family, effectively set the stage for her seduction by the older Arnold Friend. 3) In Flannery O'Connor's "Good Country People," the cynical, rude, and world-weary Hulga believes herself to be on such a high philosophical and intellectual plane that she is without illusion.

They change their way of thinking, and in doing so, change their lives. Another similarity is that there is something or someone that blocks the main character’s desires. For example, for Edie, it is Alice Kelling and, eventually, distance from Chris. For Sammy, it is different social classes between him and Queenie, and Lengel tying to kick the girls out. In both stories, there are similar events that lead to Edie and Sammy’s big choice.

Using this approach to analyze The Girl Who Left Her Sock on the Floor sends the reader into a deep understanding of character, and yet at the same time results in confusion as well. Sexual inclinations are common interests for psychoanalysis, and as readers we can find an example from Francie’s room mate, Jessica, who warns Francie that she should, “Stop calling Mr. Klemper ‘Sex Machine’”. This played out the fact that Francie most likely had a crush on this teacher, and this could easily lead to unhealthy relations and suggestive comments and behaviors. Being that she was already worried about being kicked out of her school, having someone find out about such thoughts could surface more problems for her. Later on in the story, teacher-student relationship issues were mentioned once more when Francie was on the bus in New York City.

The use of language in the story helps establish a confident relationship with Josephine.

Her father calls her “our obnoxious creation” because she has witty observations and is never short of something to
The new and improved Cosmopolitan magazine had headlines such as, “So you’re Bored to Death with the Same Old You.” And “Yes, you can change your image.” These headlines are used to influence women to not settle for what they think that they deserve but to go after what they want. Brown and Cosmopolitan helped move society into being more accepting of a woman being comfortable with her sexuality and that she didn’t have to be married to do it. At the time, women were expected to be conservative. Their goal was to find a husband and take care of the housework and stay at home with the children.
