Even though he owned land and had and a big house, material things could not begin to fill the emptiness that Janie felt in her marriage. Her nanny always believed that love came with those things, but Jeanie never felt that way. When she finally decided to leave Logan, “A feeling of sudden newness and change came over her. Janie hurried out of the front gate and turned south. Even if Joe was not there waiting for her, the change was bound to do her good” (Hurston, 32).
Her character description states that she is “clinging frantically to another time and place” (1284). That other time and place was “The genteel, idealized world of the south during her youth” (http://www.novelguide.com/TheGlassMenagerie/themeanalysis.html) when she had so many gentleman callers. There are no more gentleman callers knocking on her door, but she regularly reminds Laura and everyone around her about the number and frequency of men who called on her. The character description also states that she “failed to establish contact with reality, and continues to live vitally in her illusions” (1284). Some of these illusions are about her, and some are of her children, but all are detrimental to the family’s’ stability.
As she doesn’t include her self in the group it shows Jane is outcast and rejected from the family. Bronte uses the word “mamma” very

Some of the characters that acknowledge it were Gretchen, Peggy, Spence, and Sergeant Riley. Gretchen was always repressing him back because she knew after awhile that he was nice and innocent.

At this point, I was sure it was Della that worshipped her husband and he was not so devoted to his wife. It turned out Jim had sold his watch, of which he ‘‘took a mighty pride over’’ (p.2). It was then I realised the love they each shared for one another. Jim sold his prize possession to have enough money to buy Della the combs ‘‘her heart had had simply craved and yearned over without the least hope of possession’’ (p.4). This is why I particularly enjoyed and took pleasure this moving story.
Virginia Woolf was a person that went through tough times and suffered break downs within her own insanity which were probably caused by her family life. Her Mother Father and Sister all dying within a short space of time, she claimed to be haunted by voices often masculine which would explain her constant attack of the Victorian male culture and imperialistic traits. What Virginia Woolf does so well is convey everyday reality into a form that is unreachable by so many authors. To The Lighthouse is a text in which in all honesty nothing much happens, but the way in which she describes this nothingness is genius and often somewhat offensive to some subcultures. For example her portrayal of Mr Ramsay who relies on his intellectual ability and Edwardian views.
