This enforces the idea that unlike Lennie, she is a complex character in the novel. Steinbeck mentioned that Curley’s wife’s voice had a “nasal, brittle quality” which is a clear sign of her flirtatious behaviour. Although her intentions were flirty, the fact that it was described as ‘nasal’ by the author made it obvious that it was unpleasant to the ears. The reaction from George made it clear to the reader that she was an attractive woman, however he was being apprehensive as he “looked away from her and then back”. This contrasts with Lennies reaction as his “eyes moved down over her body” blatantly checking her out.
Within the novel, Of Mice and Men, the author, John Steinbeck, uses flashbacks, interaction of characters, and symbols to foreshadow conflicts later on in the novel. The past of Lennie and the death of and insignificant characters can be easily overlooked, but are key in foreshadowing eventual conflicts. For example, back in Weed, Lennie had gotten into trouble for grabbing hold of a girl’s dress and not letting her go when the girl was screaming. Instead, Lennie held the girl even tighter because he was scared and did not know what to do (11). Now, Lennie thinks Curley’s wife is pretty.
This is one of the examples of the misogynistic mindset in the age she was raised, that certainly fueled her writing. Young 2 Though there are many parables to pull from the text, one sticks out among the rest, explaining the range of emotions that Mrs. Mallard felt upon hearing of her husband's alleged death. "There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Journal Response Project Grace Macapagal (Parts 1 and 2) In the book One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Randle McMurphy and Nurse Ratched always get on each other’s last nerve. Ever since McMurphy came to the ward where Nurse Ratched was the head nurse, they’ve had a back and forth conflict. Many people have different opinions on who will win their fight in the end and personally I vote for Nurse Ratched. I think Nurse Ratched will win over McMurphy because she will always have more power to overrule him. Although McMurphy belittles Ratched whenever he has the chance to, she has the power to make him do whatever she says without getting harmed.
 The two paintings are based on the story of Susanna who is being spied on while she is getting ready to take a bath. Susanna is told by the Elders to allow them to arouse on her sexually. In that time period, infidelity was a big issue. Being that Susana was Jewish, infidelity was a “capital crime.” Susanna feared the idea of the whole community eyeing her because she slept with another man, if she didn’t allow the Elders to sexually seduce her. Susana still chooses to refuse because of her good nature, and the Elders told the community that she has committed to infidelity.
To possess an attribute such as intelligence is an indefinable task, one must put in an enormous amount of effort to accomplish that. Lenina is conditioned to be promiscuous and is very shallow by believing nothing else but that. It is taught at the H&C Centre that being in a long term relationship with one person is “ugly and wrong”. Having been in a relationship with Bernard Marx for four months, shows a side of rebellion in Lenina, as she is going against what is right in her society. Linda gets a piece of both societies, but when living in a society of morals, she still
Readers know she made a major impact on him, because at the beginning of the book, he said, “It was a pleasure to burn” (3), but later said, “There must be something in books, something we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing” (51). This shows how influential Clarisse was on Guy while she was still there. She also made him realize that he was not actually happy in life; he does not like his job or love his wife. He even said that he doe not think that he would cry if she dies.
All of this gives me the idea that she is hiding something because the passage from page three shows how she saw Nancy bleeding out with Grace Kerchiet than she doesn’t tell Dr. Jordan this; she tells him something completely different. I would thing if you’re innocent you would just tell Dr. Jordan everything and not try to twist everything alike Grace does the whole story. On page 398 and those few pages when she is under hypnosis; I also holds strong to prove that she is guilty. I think on this passage when she tells Dr. Jordan that she was taken over by Mary Whitney, her friend’s spirit. I think this is just something she is trying to do to make them think so if she is guilty she can plead insanity if she would need to.
When someone cannot socialize or encounter the same surroundings, they begin to act very talkative and get aggravated easily. For example, when the narrator says, “I get unreasonable angry at John sometimes,” (2). The narrator gets aggravated at everything quickly, such as her husband, the house, her brother’s sister, and that yellow wallpaper. Especially when she says, “I never saw a worse paper in my life,” (3). She is really aggravated with being trapped in the room but projected her feelings toward the
In the novel “Of Mice and Men” there are many aspects of the theme loneliness that the author John Steinbeck personified.
