Jane Eyre is such a novel. The reason why Jane Eyre holds its remarkable status in the history of English literature and ever becomes one of the most famous novels in the world is just that it successfully depicts an intelligent, faithful and brave woman who has the courage to revolt and strive for equality. Anyone who reads the novel will —— remember the female character—Jane Eyre and be very impressed by her rebellious spirit, which is discussed in this article through the analysis of her views on love.
In the end, Qamrah is a single parent living a life of a pariah with her parents. Michelle is successful professional and lives on her own terms. Sadeem after being dejected in love twice opens her own bridal store and eventually marries her cousin. Lamees is the only one of the four girls who finds both professional as well as personal happiness and marries the man she loves. MY EMOTIONAL CONNECT WHILE READING THE BOOK The main reason why I loved reading this book and why to this date I remember the story is that I was able to emotionally connect with the story.
Some might even say Shelley ardently agreed with the position in which they found themselves and the securely fixed roles during the Victorian era. Caroline Frankenstein, for example, from the beginning is the embodiment of the idealised female. She is initially presented as the perfect daughter, nursing her father lovingly till his death, and progresses on to the perfect wife, though one might argue that she never ‘progresses’ at all . She remains pale, lacking the life and vigour the men in the book so often posses, and as a result the reader pushes her to the side as a minor character. But although at first Frankenstein may give the reader the impression that women have very little impact in the novel, Shelley slyly uses them to deconstruct the power and control that men had been enjoying for years .
Biography: Frida Khalo Frida Kahlo has once said, “I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” As her main inspiration, Frida has produced over seventy self-portraits that reflect her most dramatic works that not only followed her face and feelings but also the events in her life. Her work was a rare blend of love, loss, pain, surgery and most often her un-denying passion for her husband, the equally great Mexican muralist, Diego Rivera. What passed through Frida’s mind were some of the most originals and dramatic images of our century which she fittingly combined with her strong Mexican roots that stimulated the incentive to speak to her people. One of the most influential events in Frida's life was one of the most tragic as well, at the age of fifteen; Frida partook in a disastrous bus collision that left her almost destroyed. The accident was traumatizing and took a life-long battle to fully understand for the event made it impossible for Frida to bare children.
Kate grew up around several smart, independent, single women. To further the analysis of Kate Chopin, we are going to look at two of her most famous works, the novel, “The Awakening” and her short-story, “Story of an Hour”. Kate Chopin has interested me ever since I studied “The Awakening”. Her work was always very controversial because of her characters and the ideas they pose to a nineteenth century society. Even though Chopin’s work always has to do with the issues of females, I have always found it interesting because I am always surrounded by very masculine and male dominance or equal relationship and it is intriguing to me to see the other side of it and really learn how females lived in her contemporary times.
Lisa Loeb was born on March 11th 1968; she is an American singer-songwriter and actress. She writes all her own songs and sings them with the accompaniment of her own guitar. She was the first American artist to have a number one single without an official recording contract with her song “stay (I missed you)” she now has other work including music, film, television, voice-over work and children’s recordings. “She’s falling apart” is about a girl suffering from the eating disorder, Bulimia. The lyrics show the effect the condition has on the girl suffering and her family.
(Poetry Dispatch)To me biggest similarity between Sexton & Plath was both writers seemed obsessed with death not only in their poetry but also in their personal lives. Although both women were Pulitzer Prize winners, their battle with depression and breakdowns ultimately lead both women to committee suicide. Plath's "Ariel" and Sexton's "The Starry Night" both celebrate suicide (Sylvia Plath forum/Poetry Foundation). After Plath's death, Sexton started to incorporate Plath's themes and Nazi imagery into her own work. Despite communicating only sporadically between 1959 and Plath's suicide, both women were definitively influenced by their brief friendship, showing in their respective works.
Throughout Vivian Bearing’s entire life, she has been a dedicated scholar and professor. She studied John Donne’s poems religiously, so much that in her eyes, this idea of intellectualism and wit is the most important thing life has to offer. She takes pride in her knowledge of seventeenth- century poetry and often comes off as harsh to students who simply are not on her intellectual level. However, as Bearing’s eight-cycle cancer treatment comes to a close and the realization that death is on prowl, Bearing no longer puts Donne on a pedestal. As Bearing’s death approaches, she realizes that wit and intellect are not the most important things in life, but instead, kindness and humanity is what brings a peace of mind.
Writing poetry, she later remarked, was a way to celebrate each day with the knowledge that she had not committed suicide. For Alice, inner peace could come only through self-knowledge, self-pride, and familial ties. “Family relationships,” she once wrote, “ are sacred.” In 1982, Walker published her most controversial and famous book, “The Color Purple”. The novel included vivid descriptions of rape, incest, bisexuality, lesbianism, crime and abuse. It recounted the tragic life story of Celie, a young victimized black woman.
Lily Briscoe Character Analysis Have you ever heard the term "Mary Sue"? It's an internet slang expression for a character in a story who seems like total wish fulfillment for the author – someone the author either 1) really identifies with, or 2) really wants to sleep with. A common marker of the Mary Sue is that she's really pretty. If she's physically flawed at all, it's a flaw that makes her even more appealing – like a single streak of silver hair in an otherwise flaming mane of beautiful red curls. Another sign that a character might be a self-insertion is that she's really good at everything: she'll be the most caring, most talented character of the lot.
