The story of ‘The Bloody Chamber’, presents the unusual relationship of Husband and Wife, through the characters of the protagonist and Marquis. The relationship doesn’t represent the typical relationship bound by love for one another; this is clear from the implied admittance of the protagonist, suggesting she doesn’t love her fiancé. When the mother of the heroine asks her if she loves him, the girl replies with: “I’m sure I want to marry him.” The heroine talks of the Marquis wealth, which immediately presents the reader with a marriage of convenience and fortune. Therefore, from the beginning of the short story, the relationship of the Husband and Wife is
The wedding march obviously means that one marriage is beginning and ironically right above the wedding on appears to crumbling. However the jazz that is heard is associated with Gatsby. Jazz is also associated with fun which is a complete contrast to what is happening in the hotel suite above; as there is nothing fun about the discussion Tom and Gatsby are having. Fitzgerald uses music to create an ironic situation in chapter five when Gatsby, Daisy and Nick are listening to “Ain’t we got fun”. This is also ironic as the song is about poor people saying that money doesn’t matter because they’re having fun; however one of the themes running through the book is inequality and the reader can see in the Valley of ashes that being poor is not fun at all.
With the outcome of her being vulnerable and desperate like a child – this tailors to Barbara’s desire of being able to dictate her. The second description – ‘I have given the date one gold star’ – Barbara reveals she keeps a manuscript about Sheba, she buys sticky gold stars to place in her journal to designate the seminal points in her narration of Sheba’s life. She uses the term, ‘date’, implying that there’s a possibility Barbara has a sexual attraction towards Sheba by referencing the word in a rather romantic manner. The journal she possesses relates to her desire for friendship, by plotting how she can get Sheba to notice her and become her friend. Although Barbara is full of bitterness and jealousy, who rejects almost everyone she meets inferior to herself; in her snide comments and spiteful writing, she reveals her main problem – she longs to be loved and accepted by anyone.

In “The Storm”, Chopin expresses her opinion and idea to speak for marriage women’s sexual desire in the late1800’s. Back to the story, sexuality is not only fulfills Calixta’s sexual desire and also gives her joy and satisfaction. To be more specific, this story focused on the storm, love, sex, and marriage. At that period of time, Chopin conveys to the readers that women don’t have much opportunities and powers to speak for themselves. The author illustrates to all the women how lonely and dependently women have in the family.
The reader can defiantly tell she did not want to marry Tom; we can also go deeper into the novel and notice the note and begin to assume she loved Gatsby by the way she clutched the letter while in tears. This absolutely detracts from her innocent character Fitzgerald has positioned her as. The reader can again see another side of Mrs. Buchanan when her daughter Pammy is introduced in the novel. Daisy
1942 Kate the Great shows us that suits are for girls too Katherine Hepburn showed us that a man’s suit could actually be quite feminine. The slouchier the better for this gorgeous tomboy.

Of course, this sexy look wasn’t really appropriate for the office.
In House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, many themes where viewed throughout the text, themes such as; stereotypes, machismo, gender roles, and identity. The theme of gender roles stuck out the most in two particular vignettes, Rafela Who Drinks Coconut and Papaya Juice on Tuesdays and Linoleum Roses. In both vignettes it is very obvious who is the dominant and who is the submissive. In both cases the submissive one is a girl and the dominant a man. In Linoleum Roses, Sally finally runs away from her abusive father by marrying an older salesman, whom she comes to find out is obsessive, abusive, and violent.
Mariana could not be a greater example of this. As Shakespeare in measure for measure creates a character merely as a comic device, to further signify the patriarchal state Vienna may well have been under. In ‘Measure for Measure’ Shakespeare’s use of characters which can be portrayed as ‘tokenistic’, such as Mariana as they are seen as merely symbolic of society in Vienna, main purpose being to create ‘cheap comedy’. This is done via plot devices as my further reading states Measure for measure is mostly male dominated; there are very few women in this play in contrast to the amount of men. This shows how that during Shakespearean era there wasn’t need for women in order for something to be of comedic value.
