After a heated confrontation about his homosexuality, he shot himself and ever since Blanche has been haunted by the events of that night. She is unstable and uses many ways to trick and delude the people she meets. She lives in her own fantasy world where characters, such as Shep Huntleigh, come from her imagination. There are many themes throughout the play, but one of the most prominent signs of Blanche's declining sanity revolves around her exposure to natural light. We first notice this in the first scene, where Blanche has just arrived in New Orleans, at her sister, Stella's, apartment.
Beli later messes around with a Gangster, who gets her pregnant while married with Trujillos sister, causing much havoc around Beli’s life, including near death.

Emily and Zhaboonigan each have tragic pasts, but cope in different ways. They have different personalities; others view them differently, and are different in the way they grow and change.

Zhaboonigan a twenty four, young mentally challenged woman, is very different from Emily, a thirty two years old, ex-biker. Zhaboonigan and Emily, and how they deal with members of their sisterhood make their differences evident, from the very beginning of the play.
Throughout The White Devil, Webster presents his leading female character Vittoria as elusive, Vittoria’s absence from the stage for much of the play and often present on stage only due to the fact that she is continuously accused of being a ‘whore’. During scene one Vittoria speaks only two short lines and then exists the scene and is not heard of until her court trail scene. She is often used to create dramatic situations even during her trail scene, where whatever she speaks is re-told even when she recalls a dream she has had, Bracciano boldly states ‘sweetly shall I interpret your dream’. Portraying the fact that she is unable to interpret her own dream, implying that she is incapable compared to the male characters. During her trail scene, she is accused of being a whore and it is at this point in the play that she gains a voice.
Chekov begins his tale of the affair between Dmitry and Anna from the beginning. The reader is able to see that Dmitry’s perspective of women is not favorable at the beginning. He tends to view women as inferior and Anna as a game. Dmitry “always spoke ill of women, and when they were talked of in his presence used to call them the “inferior race”” (205). In contrast, Oates begins her version of the tale midway through the relationship.
How is Marlene presented as similar to and different from Margret Thatcher? Why does Churchill make these parallels? In Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls, we are shown a world of Post-Feminism and Thatcherism gone mad. Women speak over each other in dialogue, not really listening to what the other is saying, use rude language, and one character leaves her child in the care of her sister so that she may advance in her career. Churchill’s lead character in the play is paradoxically a female misogynist who takes on a stereotypically male business persona who climbs to the top of the corporate ladder.
This is evident in the disastrous wedding scene between Hero and Claudio. When Claudio accuses Hero of being disgrace to her family, he is believed. Hero denies Claudio’s claims that she was flirting with another man at her window, but Don Pedro says he definitely saw her too. Hero was found “guilty” because the men said she was (4.1.30-110). She was not declared innocent until Benedick and the friar discover what happened and told everyone (4.1.186-255 and 4.2.50).
69 of The Glass Castle when the dad was blaming mom for everything that happened. “How did this become my problem? Why aren’t you helping?” It showed that male expected women to do everything. 4. Images of Women was show in The Glass Castle when Billy raped Jeanette and she had no control over him.
All three stories barely compared, they all just touched on different aspects on how woman were supposed to be for their husbands, and how it would be if they did do as said. Like, in d’Arthur when Guinevere was to be killed. One can also see while reading each piece that each author all have an interpreted feeling that they feel against women in their writings. Like in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Le Morte d’Arthur, one can get the idea that the authors have a “don’t trust women” set of mind. One can get that idea, being that in both pieces the woman are having an affair with another man, although Sir Gawain and the Green knight was just a joke, it was mostly trying to “teach a lesson” or make a point to men, why one should not trust a women, because of the trickery and games they hold up their sleeves.
Naguib Mahfouz wrote "she had either to accept marriage, or close the door for ever", which means either to live with a man who abused her innocence, took her virginity, and tried always to build a wall around her, or to accept to live alone without love. With very few choices left, she was able to say "No" and reject the man who destroyed her life. The word "No" related to the events that had happened to the young girl with male-dominated society too. The reader from the beginning sympathizes with the young girl in the story. The man made the young girl hostage to him when he raped her.
