When the man told him it was his daughter, he then sent another riddle to the daughter (Manka) and once again with her cleverness she had the right answer, so then the burgomaster wanted to marry her. He told her she must never interfere with any of his cases, or she would have to leave. Mrs.
The desperation of the hunt is the desperation of economical survival (301). This would be the case of the Bennet family. Due to the misfortune of only having daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet have to try to marry their daughters to respectable young men to survive. Elizabeth knows the importance of being married to a fortunate man, but she also wonders about the happiness the marriage will bring. She knew that if she had accepted Mr. Collins proposal it would bring unhappiness to both “you couldn’t make me happy, and I am convince that I am the last women in the world to make you so” (73).
We learn that Hamlet had confessed her love to her but her brother warns Ophelia that as a prince, Hamlet can't choose who he is to marry and that he is probably just trying to steal her virginity. She shows how loyal she is to her brother when she tells him that she has locked her relationship with Hamlet in her memory and has given Laertes the key. As Laertes is leaving, their father Polonius enters the conversation. She tells him that she doesn’t fully comprehend Hamlet's affections but that he spoke “with almost all the holy vows of heaven.” Worried that Hamlet is not being honest with her, Polonius forbids her to be with him, to which Ophelia replies “I shall obey, my lord.” It is shown through Polonius and Laertes' talks with Ophelia that they believe she is innocent of mind and is lacking proper judgement in these situations. They also show how much they care for her and their protective nature towards her.
(Stabs herself) There rust and let me die.”-P. 579 lines (169-171). It’s really sad that all of this could have been avoided if Juliet would’ve just left with Romeo or if their families gave up their hatred for one another. Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet’s personality drastically changes. At first Romeo was love-sick and Juliet didn’t want anything to do with marriage. Then they meet, fall in love and get married.
When his most loved daughter comments on her sister’s reactions about his wishes, he then begins to go insane after irrationally separating his land between two of his three daughters based on their charm bringing terrible consequences for everyone. I would say that’s Lear’s first mistake; separating power and responsibility. His two eldest daughters are prepared to be in control of their own lives (age wise) but not necessarily mature enough. A reason of immaturity from the daughters that Lear didn’t notice was how fond they were of him when he declared his wanting, therefore, they aren’t ready to rule a kingdom. They allowed their father to act as if he is still in charge.
In Elizabethan times, women were selected by parents to be given away in marriages. However, Hermia would not marry Demetrius, the person chosen by her father as a marriage partner. Love was not a primary matter of consideration, as wealth or material things of the prospective bridegroom were more desirous to the father. Fathers often favored the birth of a male heir, and were anxious for a marriage so they would have a son (eliz.org pg 1). Hermia defied her father’s wishes, and sought after the love of Lysander.
They have arranged marriages rather than marrying freely to whom you ever you desire. Marriage and tradition play a huge role in the short story “Marriage Is a Private Affair” by Chinua Achebe, where we have the main character Nnaemeka does not follow his tradition and therefore is an outcast in his own tribe. Marriage and tradition bump heads throughout the story which causes pain, rejection, and neglect. When Nnaemeka tells his father that he is going to get married his father is in total disbelief and does not agree with his son’s choice. Nnaemeka marries out of tradition, where the father chooses who he wants his son to marry.
His sexual orientation was even that of a female, expressing romantic interest in a male, wanting to dress up in dresses, ect. This gives the community a negative outlook on him and his family. The neighbors wish to keep Ludo away from their son, who Ludo is in love with and said that he will marry him once he grows into a woman. Ludo’s parents send Ludo to a psychiatrist. In my opinion I feel that the counseling did not help Ludo because he still had embedded in his believe that he is a female.
As well as the Athenian law, gender played a role in the course of love, as women were not allowed to confess their love or speak up against a man. A woman’s gender also prevented her from experiencing the freedom of the choice of love a man had. In the play Hermia is forced to obey her father because she is female and Helena who loves Demetrius has no say for her love. “We cannot fight for love as men may do”. Helena says this because she cannot gain her lost love back who has been unfaithful to her in spite of her faithfulness to him, such as when Lysander “loved” her when he was under the influence of magic because of the fairy, Robin Goodfellow’s careless mistake while he was intervening in the love life of the couples.
