With the opening scene of "The Tiger's Bride," the reader is aware that the heroine is seen as an object that can be bought and sold for her owner's pleasure and advantage. The key example of the theme of objectification is the heroine's father losing her to the Beast during a card game as though she were a mere possession. Carter uses the words "pearl" and "treasure" to demonstrate that the heroine is an object (157) . These words are considered compliments, but Carter reveals their objectifying overtones by having both the heroine's father and The Beast use them in the context of her sale. The theme of objectification continues throughout the story with the resemblance of the heroine to the soubrette.
-The black panther is a danger to the society. This is the only contradiction between the panther and Ill, who are otherwise so metaphorically similar. Whilst the panther is a threat to the society, Ill, on the other hand, is a boon, as Ill's fate will determine Gullen's fate as well. The panther's death will bring safety to the town, while Ill's death will bring them prosperity and wealth. -"Black panther," however, was the term of endearment that Claire used for Ill when they were lovers; the town's reaction to the panther therefore suggests their attitude towards Ill himself.

Behind one door is a hungry tiger that will eat the prisoner alive and behind the other door is a beautiful lady who will be married to the accused on the spot. The people in the kingdom are very entertained by this. The king has a beautiful daughter who secretly loves a young man who is a commoner.

Finally- Transition When the women gives Taylor the baby, Taylor says- Lead in Quote- "If I wanted a baby, I would have stayed in Kentucky" Describe Doodle and brother, and their relationship (pg.44) Wednesday, September 19, 2012 7:57 AM It seems like their relationship involves much love , but the brother can get annoyed how he's incapable of doing many things himself I think the Lady and the Tiger frustrates us because it leaves us wondering and suspicious of what happened at the end. I think the author also refuses to us because she wants us to think and have some mystery and realize of how we really are in trying to visualize the situation and what we might have done. In the story, it talks about mixed emotions and feeling toward the
Psyche was the major reason behind Orual’s actions because Orual was jealous that everyone noticed Psyche and never acknowledged her, and this would ultimately lead to the sacrificing of Psyche to the mountain god, Ungit. It is evident that Lewis portrays Psyche as a believably perfect person because she is very noble throughout Till We Have Faces(Abromaitis, 4246). These traits are shown when Psyche is referred to as a “goddess” by Redival, when she tries to nurse the Fox, a Greek slave purchased by the King to teach Redival, Orual, and Psyche various things, and when she met with Orual to plan the Fox’s escape. The first time Psyche shows her noble character was when Redival made fun of Psyche by saying, “Why don’t you honour the goddess?” to Orual. She said that quote in reference to Psyche’s action of kissing a woman’s baby when the woman claimed it would make her baby beautiful.
On one hand, Margot is fashionable and presents herself well. Furthermore, she is “kept” by her husband in a state of luxurious affluence. Ironically, she is not “well-kept” by her husband at all, as she freely and unapologetically commits adultery. Her marriage to Francis Macomber is obviously not a happy one, but she refuses to divorce him because of his money, but Francis cannot divorce her because of her beauty. Margot is delighted when Francis runs from the lion; because she thinks it would give her more psychological control over him.
The Tiger is generally looked at as the living symbol of strength and power and generally inspires fear and respect,” Ms. Chua writes in her memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (The Penguin Press, 2011). She proudly relates her own authoritarian upbringing and how she has learnt from the rigid parenting style her parents practiced in her childhood. Secondly, the tiger mother and the western mother differentiate by, mainly, their different ways of teaching their children. In short, the tiger mother rules her children and pressures them in any way in order for them to be good when they grow up. They can scold them and call them names just to motivate their kids to meet up to the parents high expectations.
In "Taming of the Shrew," Bianca is not allowed to marry until her older sister does, and Katherine does not wish to marry. They are forced to accept their roles as upper middle-class society ladies, however. Taming Animals In both plays, the motif of women as animals that must be tamed runs throughout. Beatrice says she will tame her "wild heart" to Benedick's loving hand, which refers to the old practice of taming falcons. And of course, Katherine is the titular shrew of "The Taming of the Shrew."
