1. Samara is demonstrating moving-toward characteristics. She has an obvious need to be loved and find constant approval through others to make her feel self-worthy. She is compliant and often has no opinion to argue against her boyfriends’ points. Samara is “always around for her current boyfriend” because her mindset is that if she is there for him, he will always be there to protect and guide her in return.
The information stated above is relevant and supports my essay because in the novel I am reading, Janie is forced to marry a man at an extremely young age. Janies Nanny is one to blame, as she is forcing this upon young Jamie because her mother (Leaft) was not successful and disappointed her loved ones, and the Nannie thinks she is doing her good, setting her up for a happy life. Woman in Jainie's day were expected to act a certain way, and were thus not treated
Although, it is understandable that she doesn’t point out his flaws with all the lies and guilt she has stacked up on her marriage. Assuming that this was the point of having Nora’s husband as a character, he showed the crudeness very discreetly and elegantly. He also emphasizes the fact that women don’t have as much credibility and respect outside of the home, especially at jobs. Men were portrayed as the moneymakers while woman were just the mothers. For example, when Nora’s friend from school was married her husband was in complete control of his business.
Lady Macbeth and Squealer are both characters surrounded by conflict. Even though the characters could not be more different, they are forced to deal with the conflict created by their superiors. Lady Macbeth, being the wife of the thane, Macbeth, is expected to care for and serve her husband although this is not the case. In the drama Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is portrayed as a strong minded, anti-feminist female who prays to dark spirits asking them to 'unsex me here', she manipulates people into her way of thinking and constantly works to resolve the conflict arousing in her husband's mind. Similarly, in the novel 'Animal Farm', Squealer soothes over any conflicts the animals have between what they know and what they have been told.
and this is shown on the essay when she writes this ”If, by chance , I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one” Really, is sad but is the truth, men do think women’s are objects they can’t take and leave when they want and demand things and expect to received without giving. As I read the essay it was stupid to see that they didn’t realize that all the wife’s duties could also be done by men, like cleaning, working, taking care of the kids, and of course pleasing their wife’s when she
Park 1 18 December 2013 Thy King, Thy Lord, Thy Soveriegn In the play, Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare, a prominent character by the name of Katherine is a shrew in the beginning but after her marriage with Petruchio and his determination to tame his wife, in the very end she delivers a speech condemning Bianca and the Widow for not fulfilling their duties as wives. Shakespeare’s diction, imagery, and organization convey a condescending manner as Katherine addresses the wives and an adoration manner when addressing her husband as she openly states that she is willing to submit herself to her husband. In her speech, Kate uses a condescending tone when talking to the wives because they did not come when their husbands asked. In the beginning when Kate drags the wives to their husbands she tells them to “dart not scornful glances from those eyes” and to “unkit that threat’ning unkind brow.” By ordering the wives around, Katherine shows that she is in a higher position than them and therefore has the right to look down on them for their actions. She calls the women “foul contending rebel[s]” and “graceless traitors” to their husbands.
Dedicated Desdemona A Character Analysis of Desdemona of Othello Throughout the play The Tragedy of Othello, written by William Shakespeare, Desdemona undergoes significant trial and change. She begins the play dedicated to her new husband, Othello, in a marriage not approved by the culture in which they lived. Due to Othello’s differing race and status as a moor, Desdemona’s father does not approve of their marriage and instead prefers one of his own arrangement with a wealthy, white man. Desdemona is first portrayed in the play as a woman of confidence, honor and a with loyal and distinct love toward her husband, despite the objecting opinions of others. In Act IV, Desdemona portrays both loyal characteristics and qualities of innocence.
Don Pedro is the prime example of this masculine and primitive patriarchy. Don Pedro fiercely believes that it is he who is in charge of choosing what his sisters did with their life, because of his position of power of his sisters. It was he who chose a life of nunnery for Hellena, which clearly was not what Hellena wanted. Hellena, being the free spirit that she is states “I hope he has some mad Companion or other, that will spoil my devotion,” blatantly expressing her desire to lust and to not be a nun. Florinda on the other hand, is treated like a puppet with her father and brother being the puppeteers of her love life.
Kristine Linde has had a lot of rough times in her life, and now that her family no longer relies on her, she is happier. Because of this, Nora realizes that her marriage is all pretend, and that she needs to live her own life and be herself. Nora and Kristine Linde chose to marry their husbands for intellectual reasons rather than for love. Mrs. Linde married her husband to provide economic security for her mother and her two brothers. Nora chose to marry her husband at the time when her father was getting into trouble for illegal transactions in his business.
By the end of this play, we see how Nora’s secret changes the relationship between the couple, as she violates the stereotypical role-play as a wife and mother in her era, which generates her inspirational growth. Nora, the main character, was first introduced as a very sheltered, immature, and optimistic woman. Helmer we see as proud of his male role in society and in the household, father-like towards his wife, and greatly cares for his appearance in others eyes. When speaking to each other, Helmer communicates to Nora as if she was his child instead of his wife. He does this by things such as calling her nicknames with negative characteristics, such as his little lark, spendthrift and featherhead.
