Then her absolute disregard for her duties as a wife angered him. When Mr. Pontellier became rude, Edna grew insolent“ (Chopin, 2005, chap.19 para.2) When Mr. Pontellier seemed to speak his mind to her that’s when his wife would get rude and ignore him and tune off of what he was talking about when it came down to him talking about her needing to be a good mom and wife. She would say something like this “"I feel like painting," answered Edna. "Perhaps I shan't always feel like it (Chopin, 2005, chap.19 para.3) Then Mr. Pontellier would act out of his normal character and get very submissive and bold with his wife with a comment such as, “Then in God's name paint! but don't let the family go to the devil.
This truthfulness however lands her in a bad place as she is disowned by her father for not professing her love. Gonerill and Regan are the complete opposite here as they show dishonesty in lying about how much each of them loves their father. As soon as their father has given them their share of inheritance they become ungrateful and no longer care for their father. ‘And in good time you gave it.’ Here Regan tells Lear that he took his time
Her father says she has committed “Treason of the blood” (1, 1, 167). Desdemona is a character who seems to just go along with everything but we never take in how strong she actually is. When Othello is angered at her for thinking she has betrayed him by sleeping with Cassio, he slaps her. Desdemona only replies saying “I have not deserved this.” (4, 1, 235). She then says “I will not stay to offend you.”
Minerva caught feelings for Lio whereas he did the same. Minerva stated in the book she was not in love with him they were just comrades in a struggle. We all knew she was falling for him though. Minerva’s mama found out Lio was a communist and was also against Trujillo she said Minerva had to stop seeing him. “For after finding out who Lio was exactly, mama had forbidden Minerva to bring him into the house” (Alvarez 75).
When Juliet said she was not going to marry Paris, her father said many angry and rude things including “An you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets/ For, by my soul, I’ll ne'er acknowledge thee/ Nor what is mine shall never do thee good” (3.5.193-195). Her parent’s threatened to disown her. This is not fair for Juliet or any other girl who had to go through with marrying someone they did not want to. Juliet ended up with

Chillingworth soon realizes that the minister, Arthur Dimmesdale, is the likely father of Hester’s baby, and he hurts the minister’s mind and soul by pretending to be his close friend, day and night, for the next seven years, which leads to the long-lasting suffering life of Dimmedale.

You need a better man!” yet, when the girl breaks up with her boyfriend, her friends are like “Mhm, I told you so... He was never good enough for you.” The men are always at fault for everything. If HE breaks up with HER, he’s viewed as being an “ass” because there’s absolutely no reason he should break up with her, she’s perfect and doesn’t deserve any of that. When SHE breaks up with HIM, he’s obviously not good enough to hold onto that relationship, right? WRONG.
How does Martin portray the character of Manon and her attitudes up until the time of her Mother’s death? In the opening pages, Manon repeatedly refers to her husband as “him”, which is shown in the 3rd person pronoun which gives the impression that he has no respect and she has no respect for him, therefore he has not been given a name. This shows that Manon has a negative attitude towards her husband as she believes he does not deserve a name as he is unworthy due to the treatment he has given Manon. As a result, this leads people to believe that there is no love between Manon and her husband because if he was given a name it would show a loving connection. Therefore, I believe Manon hates her husband.
