Curley’s wife is first introduced when candy describes her to George. Candy says ‘she got the eye’ which implies she spends her time staring at every man she encounters. Following that he also calls her a ‘tart’ indicating that she is a woman that is sexually suggestive. Candy is a genuinely kind and truthful person and calls everyone a ‘hell of a nice fella’ so when he dislikes her we also disapprove of her. Furthermore Steinbeck emphasises this impression of her by her physical appearance in the novel.
In this sense, Happy treats women like objects, i.e. bowling pins and that they ought to bring joy to men when they’re feeling down. This behavior shows Happy’s masculinity. While men can use women to treat themselves a moment of joy, women cannot, which shows a superiority in the male gender. In addition, the way that Happy is actually unhappy creates a dramatic irony as his emotions opposes his name.
There is both anger and sadness in Sheila’s words at this point. Her bitterness towards him continues when she says: “Of course not. You were the wonderful Fairy Prince. You must have adored it, Gerald.” Here, I felt as if Sheila was openly mocking Gerald. Her hurt has turned to anger and the expression “wonderful Fairy Prince” shows that she recognises how Gerald must have enjoyed basking in Eva Smith’s gratitude and affection.
8. Is the creator a reliable source of information? Yes 9. Why was the document created? (persuasive in nature or reporting a message) Persuasive; she was telling the readers why monopolism is wrong and persuading them to bring down Rockefeller.
This enforces the idea that unlike Lennie, she is a complex character in the novel. Steinbeck mentioned that Curley’s wife’s voice had a “nasal, brittle quality” which is a clear sign of her flirtatious behaviour. Although her intentions were flirty, the fact that it was described as ‘nasal’ by the author made it obvious that it was unpleasant to the ears. The reaction from George made it clear to the reader that she was an attractive woman, however he was being apprehensive as he “looked away from her and then back”. This contrasts with Lennies reaction as his “eyes moved down over her body” blatantly checking her out.
My Last Duchess - YELLOW Macbeth - GREEN ‘My Last Duchess’ by Robert Browning is a poem which deals with the imaginary character of the Duke of Ferrara. In essence, the poem is a psychological portrayal of the Duke presented to the reader as if he or she is simply listening in on a conversation. As the poem unfolds, the reader becomes aware that the Duke is talking to an envoy from his fiancée’s family in order to make final arrangements for his new marriage. Thus, the nature of the discussion seems rather strange as the Duke is standing in front of a portrait of his former wife, recounting memories of his last marriage. The fact that the reader is able to get a strong sense of what the Duke is like, is testament to Browning’s skilful use of the dramatic monologue form, coupled with effective word choice and imagery.

Confusion swirled about his racing mind, Catherine Carter said she liked him, and even kissed his cheek. But she kissed Tom Phillips more, a lot more, on the lips. He wondered what that would feel like.
The use of slapstick by Wilde produces a contrived and absurd plotline that is in every way unrealistic. The lack of morality in the characters defines how undeveloped they are. For example, Algernon uses the aphorism, "The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain" highlighting his ignorance and casual selfishness. Each one of the characters is in some way lacking either true morality or even awareness of reality. Gwendolyn in particular is fond and proud of her education yet in the end she easily forgives Jack for lying to her throughout the play underlying a sense of stupidity.
This makes him responsible for his own removal from the relationship. The scence when Bundy has the gun is just another metaphor for her being in control. This is logical and emotional because everyone loves when the woman is able to take up for herself and by removing the man she asserting her power. She further uses humiliation to show the lowlesness of a man who is unfaithful to his woman. This is logical and emotional because a real loving man would not be unfaithful and
