These two contradicting part inside her made her struggle between the self that she wanted to be and the self that she had to be. The external cause was the outside world, including the environment around her and the people she made contacts with. It initially started with Blanche’s first and only husband’s suicide. It was undeniable that Blanche was responsible for this accident. Although she was not the direct perpetrator, she still felt guilty for her husband’s death.
A cause for concern in Tis Pity is that Giovanni’s actions are not condemned. It is presented by Ford to be a “tumultuous passion that brings about his destruction” according to the critic Mark Stavig. His passions are inescapable it seems and so he cannot be held accountable for his drastic actions. Conversely, because of Annabella’s position as a woman, she is consciously aware of her own fate and knows that if their incestuous relationship was to carry on further, harsh repercussions would occur. The Friar tries to dissuade Giovanni from commencing the relationship despite there being little effect from his words.
Dunstan Ramsay had a number of women pass throughout his life. Each of the women played an important role in his life. His mother caused him to become isolated and distant from women. Mary Dempster took away Dunstan’s childhood because of the guilt he felt for her simplicity, and he also was the only woman he truly loved. Leola caused Dunstan to experience jealousy and pity.
Contrary to popular belief, Pretend came before role-playing games. Still doesn’t make it right. Deception is always wrong; it will always come back in a circle. I myself was deceptive to my daughter and when my daughter was deceptive to me it broke my heart. I felt not upset but disappointed in myself, because I knew I had given her false pretenses.
In Jacobean times women were seen as inferior and even in the Victoria era, thus she required external forces to crush her conscience to allow her to fulfil her ambition. Yet she is afraid her feminine qualities will prevent her from achieving the murder of King Duncan. Which would gradually lead to her mental breakdown. Regicide was considered a mortal sin in Jacobean times, one God couldn't forgive. Whereas Browning’s protagonist in The Laboratory sustains her feminine qualities this is reflected in the line “The colours too grim” in which she is referring to her dislike of the colour of poison and that it needs to be 'brightened' up in order to convince her victim to drink it.
Her first published novel entitled The Bluest Eye, portrays two female characters who take two different choices. Pecola Breedlove chooses to divorce herself from her own values and personality. However, her action only results in failure. She becomes insane because of her impossible wish to have the bluest eye. On the other hand, Claudia is able to maintain her values though she cannot fit the beauty standard.
Why do women return to their cheating partners? Many people, women in particular return to their partners who would constantly cheat on them and show disrespect their relationship. From an outsider’s point of view, it is the most irrational decision a woman would make, but why would these people come back again to their partners who clearly disrespected their bond and would most likely do it again? Reasons may vary from total love and devotion or the hope that the cheater will change, but the most crucial is monophobia, the fear of being alone. Firstly, when someone is totally devoted to their love interest it may be hard to turn a conscious eye to their imperfections and faults.
Blanche represents how tragic events in the past may ruin a person’s future. Her husband’s death affected her in a depressing way. In my view a part of the reason she lies and gives herself away sexually is because of this tragic event. She had many sexual partners trying to live a lie. These main characters are absolutely opposite.
Perhaps, because she saved one life, the rest would have to fall. Her actions led to terrible suffering for Creon and his family; almost like a curse. Haemon, her fiancé, was so in love with her that he actually fought with his father, the King, for her rights. When he could not do anything about Antigone being buried alive, he stabbed himself out of grief for his love with Antigone and anger towards his father. Because of the son’s death, Creon’s wife, too, killed herself out of grief.
She imagines his death and understands why he committed suicide. He was sensible and after his experience in war did not accept anymore the superficiality of the world around him. He, committing suicide, has preserved his dignity going against corruption. He did not accept other people’s values and therefore his death is a form of rebellion, a mean of communication. He felt the impossibility to live without conforming to conventions and this is his
