Antigone is so determined to honour her brother, and equally certain that her path was the correct one that she believed that the punishment she would receive would ‘...not be any pain’ and would’ve been had she ‘...left [her] mother’s son lie there unburied.’ Antigone appeared to be unafraid of death, as she believed she lived in ‘...daily torment’ due to the inherited family “curse”. To Antigone, her death was unavoidable, and honourable thus she was able to bear the
Apart from this, the most significant is that either male or female cannot replace each other. It is because that the male and female have different constructions and features of both physically and mentally. As for female, the most well-known character is having the ability to give birth to the offspring. Therefore, women have been regarded as the greatest role as the mother who provides the lives for our future. In the meanwhile, there are a large number of people insisting in the point of view that this situation must keep on existing, and female should live on the pre-given talent instead of developing some other skills.
She feels it’s just time to live her life the way she wants to and not the one her Grandma wanted her to live. Janie doesn’t want a marriage to seem like it has to be just that. Marriage should be a sacred bond between people who
Nanny wanted to feel like Janie was stable, so she could rest in peace. In a way, this makes sense because it seems like Nanny is only trying to do what's best for Janie's future, but in reality Nanny is just teaching Janie that in order to be "alright," she has to have a man by her side. Janie soon rebelled and met Joe Starks. The book and movie both do an exceptional job at showing Janie developing her own mind about what/who she wants. This is definitely a step in the right direction, but she's still using Nanny's tactic by jumping from Logan Killicks right to Joe
The muck symbolizes freedom and a relief from oppression that was experienced by Janie. The contrast of these two places reinforces the theme of a search for love and fulfillment. To see what an ideal situation for an independent woman, Hurston first show the reader what Janie cannot deal with. She has her character Janie go on a quest, one that was begun the day she was forced to marry Logan Killucks. Janie’s life with Joe fulfilled a need -- she had no financial worries and was set for life.
Janie finds her voice even though she goes though hard times such as Zora. Like Janie, Zora revealed the importance it is in becoming independent and not having to depend on others for help. This book is important to me, because the Character Janie proved to me how important it is to follow your dreams, and no matter what the circumstance were it was important to go through it and learn from your mistakes. I think that is a message that Zora was trying to tell the people that were around her, even though Jim Crow laws were pulling them down it was important for the people to take pride in themselves and fight back, so that they too will have a ‘big voice’ in the
Being a nursing assistant requires you to be empathetic, gracious, and eager-to-please. You won’t make it very far in any job in the medical field if you don’t encompass these qualities. The personality assessment explains that ESFJ’s are very good care-takers because they are “hyper-vigilant” and very protective. I too am very protective, and when I love someone, I would never let
This was a problem for Elizabeth as she had to do more to prove that she could be a good leader. This leads onto the fact that her sister Mary wasn’t a good leader so therefore there were low expectations of Elizabeth, This also meant Elizabeth had a lot to prove in order to be a good leader. Although this was a problem for Elizabeth, there were also positive factors to her gender. One of these was that Elizabeth was very good at using her flirtatious charm to get what she wanted. Another reason Elizabeth’s gender wasn’t too much of a problem was that she asserted her royal authority; it was her divine right to become the queen as god had chosen her.
She reacts the same when she finds out about Eric being the father of the baby. She thinks she knows best for her children, she probably believes she is protecting them, for instance, when Gerald talks about “women of the town” and Mrs Birling wants Sheila to go out and not listen“ It would be much better if Sheila didn’t listen to this story at all”. Sybil is an extremely self-satisfied woman: “Yes. We’ve done a great deal of useful work in helping deserving cases”, she is very proud of herself and of the “kind” things she does and she is also a judgmental person. Priestly shows how she is the one that decides if she wants to help a woman in need.
It isn’t that the grandmother is looking out for the safety of her family rather than the fact that she will go to any length to fulfill her desires. The grandmother sees “being a lady” as the most important virtue in life and unlike Weil focuses much of her time on materialistic objects and things like fancy dresses and belonging to a higher social status. Much of O'Connor's story emphasizes the grandmothers materialistic view on the world and how this view eventually hurts her. The grandmother discreetly seeks acknowledgement from others by bragging about her “connections” in Tennessee and a man who used to be her rich suitor through stories she tells to her family as if she has to prove to them she is a lady. Weil says that when you perform an action you should not do it seeking to be crowned hero but because heroism can be performed without desiring to prove to anyone that you have done something good for someone else without them asking.
