On the oppose side of the marital spectrum, Zeena regularly professes her hypochondria to her husband. However, in response to the sledding accident, she “seemed to be raised right up just when the call came to her” (Wharton 131). This ironic “miracle” proves Zeena’s addiction to martyrdom, emotionally dependent on first her illnesses, then to her vocational role. Although professedly unhappy, she relies on her marriage for a sense of purpose. In an examination of the constancies, it seems as though both wife and husband, woman and man, are reliant upon both one another and their marriage to function
Wilde explores the subject of morality frequently within the play and the conflicting ideas surrounding the topic. Wilde particularly explores the idea of women ‘falling from grace’. This can be seen in the character of Mrs Arbuthnot. The character is quite obviously a good, strong woman who has taken her misfortunes in stride and not let them bring her down too much, as well as raising her son to also be a good person. Many people would argue that the blame for her misfortune should solely lay on Lord Illingworth, who, it is obvious to the audience, used her for his own pleasure and satisfaction, abusing her love and trust.
As seen in “Equitan,” the king began his affair with the seneschal’s wife and became incapable of ruling his country well, so “the seneschal presided over the court, hearing the pleas and accusations.” Through context clues, the role of the seneschal was deemed a very important position, since he took care of the king’s “entire territory, governing it, and administering its justice.” Although he was barely mentioned, when he was, it disclosed more about his job and loyalty. 3. Comment upon the lady’s reaction to Equitan’s profession of love. The lady did not replied in the customary way of a married woman. She should have refused his love, because she is loyal to her husband, not that she needed more time to
Both the Characters both have a similarity of that they were not loved properly as children. This gives them both a great need to be loved by someone who truly loves them. The relationship is important as if it was not, then they would have not carried out the adultery. When we are first introduced to Isabelle we only know that she is called Madame Azaire because Azaire calls her “my wife”. This makes the reader feel as though Monsieur Azaire does not respect his wife because he does not call her by her name.
She was determined to only marry someone if she was completely in love no matter what their social class may be. Elizabeth believes that she and Mr. Darcy are in the same social class because she is a gentleman’s daughter and Mr. Darcy is a gentleman’s son and now a gentleman himself. The amount of money each has is of no relevance to her. Mr. Darcy, however, took social class very serious and strongly believed in only marrying within the same social class. When Darcy first met Elizabeth he was unimpressed and said that she was unattractive simply because he knew that she was not as wealthy as him.

Knowing that he could have been less obstinate and changed his assessment of power would have prevented Creon's son and wife from dying the way they did. Although Antigone was also persistent in not changing her own viewpoints, this worked in her favor because she was stubborn for a better reason than Creon. She stood up for her family because she knew it was the right thing to do. Creon did not show that he cared about anything but his own appearance for the fear that he will be observed as weak, until it was too late. By comparing and contrasting the characters of Creon and Antigone, one can assume that a lesson to be learnt from reading this play is that one should do what they believe is right based on their values and not concentrate on the thoughts of those who aren't important to him or
Their relationship went from employee to amorous love affair to hatred and revenge. Abigail tried proving that their love was genuine but all John did was disagreeing with her. Abigail spoke, “I know how you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion whenever I came near” (1109). To respond to what Abigail had stated John said, “Abby I may think of you softly from time to time, but I will cut off my hand before I reach for you again” (1109). John’s emotions for Abigail gradually changed because he realized what he was doing was wrong and he knew it was guilt-ridden.
She acted as if his efforts for a waste and that his thoughtfulness was of no use. She is selfishly thinking only of herself and not considering the feelings and efforts of her husband who is selfless. My third example of Mathilde’s selfishness is “She thought for several seconds, reckoning up prices and also wondering how large a sum she could ask without bringing upon herself an immediate refusal and an exclamation of horror from the prudent clerk. Finally she replied with some hesitation: I don’t know exactly but I think I could do it for
