Changeling portrays Christine Collins to be a typical, loving, single mother who cares mostly about raising her son up in the best manner possible. Walter Collins, who is the son of Christine Collins, is presented to the audience to reflect his mother’s way of doing things and reacting towards matters in a humble and precise manner regardless of the circumstances under which he is placed. However a man’s function in society is set out to be the powerful, dominant and rightful and this is reflected through the role in which every man plays within the movie. Throughout the film changeling it is revealed that no matter what the situation, the male gender was constantly looked upon and obeyed due to the fact that all they made up either a federal policeman, part of a media institution, priest, or legal institution. ‘’everybody knows women are fragile’’ so the chief in command tactically convinces mrs Collins to accept that her son has been found and although she can ‘’tell reality from fantasy’’, the police officer refuses to acknowledge the fact that they may be wrong and she may be right.
Evolution of Torvald’s character is shown from a man in control of his life, his wife and his household, to a man in front of whom his whole perfect life falls apart all thanks to one woman. Ibsen showed the future of many husbands who do not take into consideration their spouse’s desires and needs. When comparing Torvald and the shallowness of his character to Nora’s, it would be like looking at an informatory pamphlet vs. a two thousand page book. Torvald is very plain; he knows what he wants and expects everyone to follow his orders. He enjoys being the patriarch - the head of the family, enjoys holding all the strings in the household; he views himself superior emotionally and intellectually and he treats his wife as a foolish child and a plaything.
It will not matter if the wife is earning much money from work compare to the husband but men should always be in charge of their family. This is important to me because I will feel respected in my family. Values and attitude towards education- In my culture; being educated is what’s most important. Due to education my status rise in the society and be respected for that because the people in the community will start looking upon many things that they can’t do. 3.
Gloria is not the star character but is one of the main supporting characters. Her personality and role make her more notorious and funny in comparison to the other characters of the show. In respect to her family, she absolutely is the major character. Her husband wouldn’t do anything to get her mad or upset. Every decision has to be consulted with her and she always makes sure her opinion is heard.
Viktor’s accounts are not only a good mark in history, but in viewing the human condition. The main thing I learned from reading Viktor’s novel is the meaning of life. Throughout my entire life I was always under the impression that in everyone’s meaning in life will reveal itself at one defining moment. Viktor states that in his novel, that the meaning of life is defined in every moment of living, and the second I considered this idea it was eye-opening to me. Every hardship a person encounters in their time on earth is defining of their life and of themselves.
Your place in society was extremely important and made a huge impact on who you married. Upper and lower classes were not to be mixed and if done so, you were looked down upon. This concept is shown when Lady Bracknell interviews John before allowing her daughter, Gwendolen, to be with him. She has no interest in approving of John until she finds out that he is in fact from a very wealthy background. Wilde also does a good job of mocking the way men and women think of each other.
Cause and effects of change in traditional male role The most common traditional male role assumed by our society was that men are the bread winners. Men are powerful to perform the physical task and courageous enough to face the obstacles in life. Men were given more rights and liberties. On the other hand female were implicit to be gentle and sensitive. The only contribution a female could make was to look after her children and follow the stepladder of her husband.
Let me clarify that I don’t believe they’re weak because they’re women, but because their role was to have many children to provide a workforce. Since men were the protectors of their societies I believe they were held at a higher social status
Jane Austen writes: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering the neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters” (5). This implies that the man wants a wife and the woman is not in a place to turn him down. The man becomes her claim, and for him she fights with other women. It seems as if women are plentiful and men are rare.
In order to identify this situation, we must try to get to the root of the problem and must understand the sociological factors that cause women to have a much more difficult time getting the same profits, wages, and job opportunities as their male complements. The society in which we live right now have been shaped historically by males for centuries. Women in the workplace get the short end of the stick when it comes to men. Because men have more power given to them and people tend to look at the men for leadership. Also women are more likely to allow things to happens where as men would not.
