Edward scissor hands directed by Tim burton is a movie about personal suffering we see how Edward struggles to belong to suburbia.

Their enticing sexuality, he believes, tempts men to behave in ways they would otherwise not. A visit to the “flophouse” (a cheap hotel, or brothel) is enough of women for George, and he has no desire for a female companion or wife. Curley’s wife, the only woman to appear in Of Mice and Men, seems initially to support George’s view of marriage. Dissatisfied with her marriage to a brutish man and bored with life on the ranch, she is constantly looking for excitement or trouble. In one of her more revealing moments, she threatens to have the black stable-hand lynched if he complains about her to the boss.
Similarly, in ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore, the male character Giovanni asserts his power over Annabella, but Ford does this in the opposite way that Chaucer did. Giovanni is fresh out of university, and during the 1600s logical and manipulative arguments were taught, so he uses his intelligence to lie to Annabella that he ‘asked counsel of the holy Church’, as he knows she is only worried about their love due to her religious beliefs. This shows Ford presenting males, usually the more educated gender of the time, as having the ability to have power over females by arguing using
He always comes before I feel anything.’” She treats her husband poorly in front of the whole town, even after he tried to help her out. She tries justifying sleeping with other men, because her husband is poor in bed. After she shattered his image he left the incident and went off. White Cat never really says exactly how Meng Su died, just some assumptions that leave you
Their effectiveness is due to how the examples display our, America’s, usage of Christian beliefs compared to what the actual beliefs say. His most effective example would have to be when he describes how America breaks one of the Ten Commandments themselves. It is true we are a nation that still permits the death penalty. However, the irony he displays sets it apart from the others because the sixth commandment itself says “Thou Shall Not Kill.” Not only that, his perspective of how we say we are Christian is also good for his argument. One negative aspect to his essay would have to be his bias toward conservatives and the rich.
It is doubtful that Darrow was as white or Bryan as black, or even Scopes himself as absolutely ignorant and innocent in resolute belief as is depicted. Characters such as the newspaper reporter and Scopes’ love interest have been given more ‘spirit’ to help the plot through. This, however, opened up the film to possibilities of backlash. It is fairer to approach the criticism, perhaps, in the words of the critics themselves. Robert Harsh, for example, declares in ‘Exposing the Lie: Inherit the Wind’ that "Christians, particularly William Jennings Bryan, are consistently lampooned throughout, while the skeptics and agnostics are consistently portrayed as intelligent, kindly, and even heroic.
As well as, Alima’s lack of interest within him results in more frustration that leads him to “hide himself under her bed one night… [and there] was the noise of a tremendous struggle” (132 Gilliam). Terry’s attempt to rape Alima reveals the violence within men that causes them to become wild animals that pursue their prey by attack. Regardless of the strength and morality of woman in Herland, once a man provokes violence onto them, they become weak and in order to prevent violence they tend to become inferior to the man and abide by their traditional roles, allowing him to become their master, and thus inequality is sustained. Moreover, in the film, the men mentally abuse their wives by blaming them for their inferiority complexes. As well as, hold them responsible for creating Stepford.
Smith drew many coincidences between Hutchinson’s role during the Antinomian controversy (the view that God's grace has freed the Christian from the need to observe established moral precepts) and powerful modern women today. The author defends her argument by vividly describing that no matter what Anne Hutchinson stated that she would be reprimanded not by what she said, but because of her gender. After reading this article one would conclude that her act of speaking were more of a crime than the words uttered. No matter how many times she would attempt to defend herself, she would not be heard unless she stated what the judges wanted her to say. During the period of the Protestant Reformation man were allowed to have a direct relationship with God and women could not.
Clearly this misogynistic attitude angered the feminist Duffy leading her to write poems from the perspective of women who she believes were not given a voice in history, myth, fairytales and popular culture. By doing so she constitutes bathos around male figures we once thought admirable and empowers women; consequently leading the reader to question patriarchal ideologies. The poem “Pope Joan” is in the first person narrative of the only female pope ;Pope Joan who supposedly reigned, under the title of John VIII, for slightly more than 25 months, from 855 to 858. In the poem “Pope Joan” Duffy not only questions the rituals of the Catholic Church but also questions patriarchal ideologies as she conjects that women have the advantage over men as they hold the key to life through child birth. Duffy uses High register language and lexicology from the religious semantic field in order to show the portentous nature of men.
That means sex is for having kids and Christians believe you can only do this when you are married as in Gen 2:24 which says a man “is to be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.” The purpose of sex is to be united to your wife not your girlfriend or partner and Christians strongly believe this. Another argument they give is that you should not commit adultery (Exodus 20:14). When you have sex when you are unmarried then you are committing adultery because when you have sex when you are married you are committing adultery. Sex is between you and your wife only in marriage. Catholics especially but most Christians don’t approve of cohabitation because it scarcely ensures mutual sincerity and fidelity in a relationship.
