Josie questioned Nonna; how could my mother be conceived while Nonno was up north? Nonna responded by saying that Christina was premature. Josie was saying that her mother always told her how she was such a fat baby when she was born, nine and a half pounds. Nonna started crying and said that it was all true and she did sleep with Marcus Sandford due to the loneliness and unhappiness of her life. Josie could not forgive Nonna because she was always mentioning Christina’s mistake of sleeping with Micheal Andretti.
Initially I didn’t think that she could kill her children but as I drew closer to the end I knew they were done for. I am led to this conclusion by the fact that Medea was versed in the black arts and had killed her brother years before, her blind rage towards Jason, and the grotesque manner in which she killed the princess and her father. After she does finally kill everyone her husband cares for she flies off into the sunset on a chariot and lives her life unhappily ever after. After reading the play I still didn’t fully understand Medea’s motivator for killing her children. Before she put her plot into motion she had skillfully manipulated Aegeus into granting her asylum.
He was angry. Henry went through with the marriage to Anne of Cleves on January 6th. However, on the wedding night he could not bring himself to consummate the marriage. At this time period, Henry had lost most of his looks and had grown fat. Many thought he was impotent during his marriage to Anne Boleyn.
Rayona hates it more than anything that when she goes anywhere, people poke fun at her and make racial remarks to her which makes her feel insecure about herself. When Ray meets Foxy for the first time, Father Tom introduces her and Foxy says, “Your Christine’s kid…The one whose father is a nigger” (Dorris 44). Not only does Rayona have to deal with racism her mother is always putting her in bad situations. There has been quite a few times where Christine has attempted to leave Ray and told her that she wanted to commit suicide. One time in the very beginning of the story Elgin goes to visit Christine in the hospital, Rayona had not seen him in 5 months and Christine did not want to tell him about her sickness.
Hypocrites Who Stained Salem Town Some of the most hypocritical people in The Crucible are the ones who should be good people like Rev. Parris, Dept Gov Danforth, and the orphan Abigail Williams. But they all have one thing in common, hypocrisy. Rev. Parris is a corrupt man reaching out for land, Danforth is a stubborn deluded judge who does everything but serve justice, and Abigail is a jealous girl who will stop at nothing to have John Proctor as her husband.
Although it was uncommon for the King to have many concubines, God deemed his relationship with Bathsheba unlawful, for she was a married woman, adultery to say the least. Anyway, David falling in and out of sin made me realize that if this “man after God’s own heart” can fall easily to temptation, so could I. I came to a point that I realized that no person can be perfect in God’s eyes, for even on our best days, like it says in Isaiah 46, we are “dirty rags” in the sight of the Lord, and trust me when I say this, you do not want to know what dirty rags are. David’s primary influence on me was that if he was such a great man and
The only ones left are Crooks, Candy and Lennie. Curley’s wife comes looking for Curley and they treat her like an idiot ‘[You] think I don’t know where they all went? Even Curley, I know where they all went’ she says. We can see that she knows that they went to the whore house, even her newly married husband. This makes us sorry for her because Steinbeck portrays that Curley doesn’t care for their marriage he just carries on as if it doesn’t exist.
For example, when he says, "Don't be such a meshuggeneh" (page 24), he implies that his wife is crazy and certainly less than he is. This is a perfectly depicted example of Rankism. Leo almost turns his back on his wife altogether because he is fed up with her feminineness. For example, her reference to "procreation" and the Bible make him uncomfortable. He has more important things to do like earning money.
Stella is willing to look past everything Stanley does because she loves him and that makes her the fool of the play. After finding out Stanley raped her sister she still chooses Stanley though she asks herself “what have I done to my sister?” Stella is so stuck on her life as it is that she’s not willing to accept that Stanley is not the man she once deceived herself he was and that internal conflict is what makes her a huge
He seems very queer sometimes, and even Jennifer has an inexplicable look.” (246), “I know she was studying that pattern, and I am determined that nobody shall find it out but myself!” (247) Her obsession with the wallpaper gains momentum because she wasn’t allowed to change it. At the end, John faints when he breaks into the room and sees his wife in the psychotic
