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.
PLOT SUMMARY "The Lady, or the Tiger" begins with a description of a semi-barbaric king who punishes criminals in a unique way. He has built an arena featuring two doors and the criminal must choose his own fate by selecting one of the two doors. 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. The king does not think the young man is good enough for his daughter so he sentences the young man to be put into the arena to choose a door. The princess loves the young man and does not want to lose him to the ravenous tiger or to another woman in marriage. The princess knows which fate is behind each door and she also knows who the woman is going to be behind the door. She hates this woman. In the arena that day, the young man looks at the princess, expecting her to know which door hides what fate. The princess makes a motion toward the right-hand door, and this is the door her lover opens. The story stops exactly at the point he opens the door. It does not tell his

In addition, Petruchio’s determination to transform Katherina is disturbing to modern-day ethics, because of the methods and reasoning of taming her he employs and their connotations to animal imagery. The late 16th century was harsh to nonconformists of social role and standing, and the penalty of having an association with the stigma of a shrew was certain humiliation and public ridicule. As Baptista’s second, more desirable daughter, Bianca’s quiet submission in the presence of her potential suitors – Gremio, Tranio, and Hortensio, immediately draws comparisons with Katherina. Shakespeare uses the literary device of juxtaposition through the characters of Bianca and Katherina and their romantic encounters. As Holly A. Crocker describes, ‘Her aggression arises from the category of shrew itself because the behaviour her sister displays can look desirable only in comparison to extreme displays of feminine aggression.’(2003) In contrast to Bianca – who enjoys the pleasures of being wooed by a number of suitors, deceiving her father, and the ability to manipulate her husband before and after marriage; Katherina is presented
Although they bear some minor similarities, the differences between Jung’s “the Poet” excerpt and Ursula K. Leguin’s “Why are Americans Afraid of Dragons?” are pronounced. First, both pieces of literature similarities take creativity. Second, they both are ways of expressions and finally, they both entail to have the illusion of escapism. Jung’s proclamation consist of being a hostage to humanity while negotiating with himself the release of the artist held captive inside. In the same way, LeGuin’s declaration is to seek an over-turned
The novels Ethan Frome and Catcher in the Rye by Edith Wharton and J.D.Salinger, respectively, are two great works that depict two characters’ struggles in life. Three themes that both novels share are the need for companionship, regret over lost potential and immersion in a fantasy world. Ethan Frome and Holden Caulfield are both very lonely characters in desperate need for companionship and compassion. They both search for human contact of sorts to prevent the onset of loneliness. Frome marries Zenobia Pierce prematurely, only to obviate “the mortal silence of…long imprisonment.” (Wharton, page 61) He wanted “the sound of a …voice” to fill the void on his farm.
Odysseus and Penelope: Infidelity in Men and Women The double standard between Odysseus and Penelope is especially clear. Odysseus has a relationship while he is on her island, although he is described as “unwilling” (l. 172). This infidelity seems to be taken for granted. Odysseus does endure his long and hard journey partially to see Penelope again, but the text also says that Calypso “no longer pleased” him (l. 170). Odysseus’ decision to leave the island when he has the choice may have been a far more trying decision six years ago.
The poem “The Tyger”, written by William Blake, is a poem that centers on evil’s ability in hiding behind a beautiful mask. Not only does the poet describe its physical characteristics, but shows confusion that occurs with such fear. Blake uses a questioning tone throughout the poem to exemplify his ideas and beliefs in the tiger’s origin and the reasons behind the creature’s physical appearances. In the first stanza, Blake shows the secrecy of the tiger by linking nature with its origin and its physical appearances. Blake makes this evident so that it’ll highlight the tiger’s eerie aura.
This paper attempt to record the subaltern sensibilities and concerns noticed in Aravind Adiga’s Booker Prize winning novel The White Tiger that has derived much acclaim and criticism alike. In this debut novel, Aravind Adiga takes on some hefty issues: the unhappy division of social classes into haves and have-nots, the cultural imperialism of the First World, the anger that seethes among the world's dispossessed, the avarice of the Indian elite among whom bribes are commonplace, and the caprice of those who perpetuate a system in which many are sacrificed to the whims of a few. The White Tiger 'says a lot' about contemporary India. A brutal view of India's class struggles is cunningly presented by Adiga. The riveting, razor-sharp debut novel explores with wit and insight the realities of these two India – “…Men with Big Bellies, and Men with Small Bellies” - and reveals what happens when the inhabitants of one collude and then collide with those of the other.
