Some women who are “making their rounds” to others usually have nothing better to do with themselves and are lonely people. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck have a lot of lonely people in it but one sticks out as extremely lonely. This specific character is Curley's wife she is extremely lonely she makes her rounds at the farm to get people going. Curley’s wife goes around the farm doing things men are interested in so she attracts them for attention. The only reason she is always lonely is for the way her husband Curly treats her and how he really doesn’t satisfy her for things and is never really around.
She is portrayed as a 'tart' (28) and as a flirtatious lady who is going to cause the men trouble (32). Her alienation stems from not having anyone to converse with other than her husband Curley. Also her efforts at conversing with the other males of the ranch went poorly as she was many a time rejected. For example when she tried to talk to George he shrugs her off as much as he can (32). Since she does
The theme of loneliness continues when, after Miss Laing tells the children to go pick flowers they all “scamper off” but the little girl doesn’t. Instead she goes and stands under the “shadow of a tall pine”. The word ‘scamper’ is used to slow that the children don’t have a care in the world, whereas I think that Margaret does. The ‘shadow of the tall pine’ is used to develop the intensity of her loneliness by showing that she is overwhelmed in darkness. Here the use of imagery makes the theme of loneliness even more unpleasant.
In “Missing” Maxine is in distress because her brother is now missing, and her mom thinks he’s dead so she has a medium come and the medium gives a false reading which is stressful for Maxine. In “Among the Hidden” Jen is the girl in distress because she can’t go outside and she has to live with knowing her dad is disobeying the law because he works for the population police and their supposed to be getting arid of third children. “Missing” and “Among the Hidden” both have seemingly impossible tasks. In “Missing” a seemingly impossible task is Derek being able to stay hidden from friends, family, and the police. And in “Among the Hidden” it seems impossible that third children will ever be legal.
Esmeralda doesn’t fit into suburbia also she is obsessive which makes her neighbour think that she is a freak. In the scene when Edward is talking to peg, Esmeralda interrupts them and stars perching her thoughts about Edward and saying that he is ‘the devil incarnate.’ Esmeralda is a good example of personal suffering because she is excluded and marginalized by her suburban community. Pegs
Explore the ways poets present their feelings about relationships Both of these poems (Remembrance and 04/01/07) are both about death and loss in relationship, in 04/01/07 the loss is a mans mother and in Remembrance the loss is about a women’s lover who has died quite a long time ago whereas in 04/01/07 the man has just received a phone call from his brother informing him of his mother’s death therefore for the brothers just finding must then mean that the death has happened very recently compared to Remembrance because your first and automatic emotions towards a death are different to the ones after it sinks in for a while. For example one of the first emotions you will feel when you know of a death of someone near to you would be something like shock or a sudden rush of sadness but as time goes on the feelings change more over to the side of grieving and just missing the person in general. Firstly Ian McMillian presents his feelings from the get go of a very strong and emotionally tight relationship with his mother, we can clearly see this because as soon as he hears the bad news from his brother it immediately affects him and also quite strongly. “And I feel the tears slap my torn face.” This shows that he was very fond of his mother hence this sudden and strong reaction to the news of her death you would expect this from her son but this would not happen in all cases in which maybe the mother and son did not get on, he would still be sad that his mother had died but he may not of necessarily cried. In Remembrance however the way this poet (Emily Brontë) presented her feelings about relationships slightly differently due partly to the story told in her poem and the way that it’s written portrays different feelings.
Lennie’s stupidity allows him to believe that someone hurt George even though Crooks is just assuming 72. Loneliness- Crooks is alone in the world, cannot attend activities that other people enjoy 72. Loneliness- reading books is sign of solitude 74. Foreshadowing- Crooks foreshadows that many people do not get the dream that they
This is shown, firstly, by talking to “bindle stiffs”, she really has no one else to go to and so resulted to what comes across to be the lowest people on the ranch. This is another clear sign of her desperation and of “ache for attention” that she feels inside. But the quote also shows her loneliness and defeat when she states that there “ain’t nobody else”, seemingly illustrating that there really is no one else that will listen to her talk. Curley’s wife can also be compared to Crooks because both characters suffer a great deal of prejudice from the other people on the ranch. Crooks often talks about his loneliness and how that the more lonely people get the more “mean” and “sick” they become.
Bailey Towles Shannon Ball 10/20/13 Facing Isolation Isolation is an internal struggle. To feel isolated is like standing in a crowded room, constantly seeing familiar faces, yet feeling loneliness. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel, The Scarlet Letter, three of the main characters face isolation in their everyday life. Hester Prynne, the wife of Roger Chillingworth, faces isolation internally and externally. Because Hester is isolated, she has no one to talk to, so she thinks about things a little differently than everyone else.
She struggles to conform, and so “squeeze[es]…into the bottom of her berth…doubling…the bedclothes”. The porter’s actions represent the inflexibility and lack of cooperation from the North, so Sally attempts to compromise instead. However, the compromise is unsuccessful, as she is still “uncomfortabl[e]”. Her experiences in North Carolina are represented allegorically when she is lost in the “passage[s]” of the Ice Palace. Her inability to become familiar and establish a connection with the North is resonated when she lost, leading to her “dreary loneliness”, leading to
