Harper Lee seems just fine to leave her noble fans wondering about the future. In conclusion, Harper Lee has influenced many with her best-selling novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. She is now living a content life with her sister. Her life was affected greatly by To Kill a Mockingbird’s unprecedented
Anne, unlike many women of her time, was well educated and it is presumed that she had access to the Earl’s vast library during this time. The Earl’s residence was known for its romantic background and this proved true in 1628 when Anne and Simon married. She was only sixteen to his twenty-five years but they were known to have a happy marriage as evidenced in “To my Dear and Loving Husband” where Bradstreet laments. Though Bradstreet accepted the tenets of Puritanism, anti-Puritan texts are found in her poetry in terms of religious doubts as in “Meditations” to her children where she speculates if the Scriptures are true or contrived. Anne Bradstreet also deviates from traditional Puritan writings of the time by composing poetry for pleasure and self expression as opposed to writings of preaching and teaching as was the standard.
In Edith Eaton read she writes about how Pan, a Chinese girl, born in a foreign society all her life still manages to respect her native culture and puts it before anything or anyone. Eaton shows that no matter how much you value a person, your religion or culture will always mean more to a person since it defines who you are as a person. The same applies to the short story written by Pauline Johnson “The Red girls’ Reasoning”. In this narrative Johnson tells a story about a young Indian girl, Christie, who is married to a White man named Charlie. In this narrative the readers see that Charlie considers his culture and nationality much more superior to his wife’s but Christie values both the cultures equally because they represent the two individuals.
The Meryton ball is significant to the novel as it brings Darcy and Elizabeth together for the first time, as well as Bingley and Jane. We are introduced to some of the most important characters of the story in this chapter, the first being Mr Bingley; the talk of the town’s recent gossip. Austen does not go in to much detail about Bingley’s appearance but does describe him as someone with “a pleasant countenance, and easy, unaffected manners.” Austen briefly mentions Bingley’s sisters, merely describing them as “fine women, with an air of decided fashion”, and brother-in-law Mr Hurst, but focuses mainly on the introduction of Bingley’s friend, Mr Darcy. Despite describing his appearance loosely, Austen focused mainly on the reaction to Mr Darcy from fellow party-goers. First impressions, in 19th century England, were of large importance and what certain people thought of you could influence the opinion of many others.
After reading the novel it can be said that true love is real and Hurston definitely presented the idea that true love is difficult to attain. Janie’s first marriage to Logan Killicks was mostly determined by her grandmother’s vision of wealth and security for her granddaughter. This marriage forced Janie to grow up very quickly and discover what she desires with another man. At a young age Janie’s grandmother had Janie married off to Logan Killicks. After a couple months of marriage, Janie goes to visit her grandmother and her grandmother questions why she is there.
Creole’s like Adele Ratignolle “the fair lady of [everyone’s] dreams” (9), who treated her husband with respect and cared for her children unconditionally.

In 1894, Gilman and Stetson legally divorced and Stetson married a good friend of Gilman’s, Grace Ellery Channing, and Gilman sent Katherine back east to live with her father and his new wife because Gilman said that Katherine had a right to know and love her father just as Stetson had the right to be a part of his daughter’s life. In her memoirs, Gilman reported that she was happy for her ex-husband and his new wife was as good a mother as Gilman was and perhaps better in some ways. (Wikipedia, Web Charlotte Perkins
In the play, Gwendolen sets the image for a typical Victorian woman, along with her mother, Lady Bracknell. She has her personal values and ideals, and exhibits self- confidence. This can be proven by some of her lines in Act 1, like her first line “I am always right!” or “In fact, I am never wrong.” However, sometimes her over-confidence makes her look foolish. When she meets Cecily for the first time, she declares that they were going to be “great friends” and she has “likes her more than she can say”. Then when she suspects that Cecily is going to steal her fiancé, Gwendolen immediately switches her tone to saying that she “distrusted” Cecily from the first moment she saw her and that her “first impressions of people are invariably right”.
Using elements familiar to audiences of romances through the ages, from the moody and wind-swept novels of the Brontë sisters in the 1840s to the inexpensive entertainments of today, Rebecca stands out as a superb example of melodramatic storytelling. Modern readers considered this book a compelling page-turner, and it is fondly remembered by most who have read it. The story concerns a woman who marries an English nobleman and returns with him to Manderley, his country estate. There, she finds herself haunted by reminders of his first wife, Rebecca, who died in a boating accident less than a year earlier. In this case, the haunting is psychological, not physical: Rebecca does not appear as a ghost, but her spirit affects nearly everything that takes place at Manderley.
Jane Austen Comparing both novels Women Both characters are strong, vivid, self-confident and, in some way, a rupture to the normal behavior on that time. They search their own path and destiny, disconnecting theirelves with the normal society's expectations. Love Love is the main theme in both novels. Not only love as a feeling, but love as a pursue of happiness and stability, this last being totally necessary, at the time, to girls with lack of fortune. In the case of Anne, her search for love serves to redeem her past mistakes and, finally, be with the one that she has chosen, not her relatives.
