Freedman, “Violence in the Mass Media and Violence in Society: The Link is Unproven,” excerpt from The Aims of Argument” Allusion Make a reference to another literary work, person, or event. Four decades ago Betty Friedan, in her groundbreaking book, The Feminine Mystique, wrote about women who suffer “a problem that had no name.” They were sick and tired of being sick and tired of having no identity to call their own: The problem is always being the children’s mommy, or the minister’s wife, and never being myself. One woman described her situation as living in a “comfortable concentration camp.” There’s a new problem without a name now and it’s a mare of another color. Women are complaining about work and writing about it. Elizabeth Perle McKenna left a high-powered position in publishing to search for the neglected parts of her life.

In both works, Quoyle and the narrator are characters that experience loneliness from the result of remaining distant from society. Annie Proulx mentions, “[Quoyle] cherished the idea that he had been given to the wrong family […] At the university he took courses he couldn’t understand, humped back and forth without speaking to anyone […] dropped out of school and looked for a job” (Proulx 2-3). Quoyle’s denial of his true family and minimal effort in socializing shows a weak sense of motive in his life. Through this lifestyle, a strong display of neglecting society, including family and friends, is evident in Quoyle’s way of living. This is significant because maintaining such a detachment from society initiates the feeling of isolation as one increasingly grows away from society, which includes everyday communication and general interactions with human civilization.

Hill may have used this metaphor in order to suggest that Kipps has traveled as far as he can; he has traveled to the extent that he can go no further as there is physically no more road to travel on. The “edge of the world” is thought to be a dangerous place where no one wishes to go (if there were such a place) which could reflect on the villagers views on Eel Marsh house. Eel Marsh house is a place that was poorly maintained and Hill uses imagery of “the soil gave way to rough grass and I began to see dykes and ditches” to add a sense of lack of safety to the houses surroundings. As Kipps makes his way around the grounds it begins to give way to revel water and unstable ground, making Eel Marsh house a dangerous and unsafe place to be and Kipps starts to be concerned about his safety. “Rough grass” is used to imply that no one has visited the house for a considerable amount of time and that there is no body to maintain and care for it either because Mrs Dralow had no friends or family or because everyone was too scared which suggest the woman in black has a strong influence on the community of Criffin Grifford.
