But, we also come to an understanding of the tragedy of life. Regardless of the sufferings of those who live it, life goes on. One of the most significant characters in John Steinbeck's novel "Of mice and men," is Curley’s wife, as she is known to the audience. The only women on the ranch she is the wife of the boss's son. She does not have a name because she does not have her own identity.
Though this should not be a characteristic of Mrs. Birling, it is. Working in a charity that aims to help women in trouble, Mrs. Birling met Eva in the final weeks of her life but after hearing her distressing story had little sympathy for the girl due to the fact she was under the false name of “Mrs. Birling”. This made her very angry and biased towards Eva and her case. Using her high social status Mrs. Birling made sure that the charity turned Eva away, which, as a consequence pushed Eva to desperation.
Here you see two women, who are young mothers involved in the local gang, on their own. There is no male presence around, mainly because the father of their children is dead. These same women who have gained respect from their male counterpart gang and are considered to be equal are not so equal to men when it comes to taking care of the children, something considered a women’s job while the man is working to provide. This signifies to the viewer a false view of Mexican-American women, who mother children at a young age. They are considered to be unfit mothers living off welfare because they have no jobs and on their free time are gang banging.
But at the end of the day I feel sorry for her and I tend to understand why she feels the way she dose! You can’t blame the girl, for feeling depressed, she lives on a ranch where she is the only girl, her husband sees her as an object that he owns and she has no one to turn or talk to. In the book most of the characters have a negative view of her and tend to see her as trouble, but when you think about it she has the potential to get them in a lot of trouble, and she does, she cause Curley to have a broken hand and she gets Lennie in trouble for killing her, Every time, she is present in the book, she is never in a positive mood, she is always sulking or looking for Curley, I don`t actually think that there is one time in the book were she seems happy and it is when she is flirting , and even then she just gets negative reactions back! To summaries , overall i think that she is a very negative person, who has no hope of
But what choices she made, turned her into a perpetrator. “It came to me that Mayella Ewell must have been the loneliest person in the world.” Upon hearing this, I thought of Mayella as a victim. She had eight other people in her house with her, but no one ever helped her with chores or shown any affection for her. When asked if she had friends, she seemed completely confused by the idea of having friends. She wasn’t accepted into society because of who her family was.
The people of America now were able to see the suffering of the “Great Depression” at its worst. Florence became known as the “Migrant Mother.” She was ashamed of these pictures and felt as if her true character had not been reflected. People started to come from all over to the fields where Florence’s little ragged tent was suppose to be setup to help her and the other impoverished families, but Florence had moved on. Sadly, she never received any kind of help from the pictures being
“Ain’t I got a right to talk to nobody?” Curley’s wife is a method and a character that Steinbeck uses to sum up the life of an average 1930s, American woman, who suffers from sexism and loneliness. Curley’s wife feels that because she is a woman, she isn’t allowed to go near the workers on the ranch and she often complains, as shown in the quote, that she feels that she should be allowed to talk to the workers. This prejudice makes Curley’s wife isolated from everyone else on the ranch, and because she is the only female on the ranch, she doesn’t have anyone else that she can talk to and relate to. Steinbeck uses the complaints by Curley’s Wife to show that she is being affected by loneliness and isolation. Another character that Steinbeck
Granny Weatherall is a woman in denial about the basic truths of her life and character. She refuses to believe that she is dying and that she never got over the man who jilted her at the altar. Granny tends to think of herself as a gritty survivor. After the death of her husband, John, Granny became both mother and father to her children. When reliving moments in her life she speaks of both matronly task ‘When she thought of all the food she had cooked, and all the clothes she had cut and sewed’ (pg 81) and masculine jobs ‘She had fenced in a hundred acres once, digging the post holes and clamping the wires’ (pg 81).
It doesn’t matter how your mom dress she deserves Respect. In one part Tommy says that she labeled trash by her neighbors. What she really means that she is kind of invisible for them, and also for the fact that she lives in a trailer. People think that she does nothing for her Childs, but a least she does not stay at home and wait. I don’t like the point that her son Matt does not work, he must to work if he wants to be in a higher social class.
I have no ladder to climb. I have many paths that I must build my ladder onto for my family. My mother is a prime example of my need to progress. She is running into issues now because she refuses to take responsibility for her actions. She is having my sister taken from her because she steals and is possibly going to jail.
