The phrases, “talent is what they say you have”, “work is what you have done”, and “genius is what they know you had"(Peircy, online), reflect a completely opposite reaction given by the same critics. Perhaps, this kind of reaction by those critics, who’s opinions matter the most, is the fate that lies in store for all writers. Therein lies her tone of despair towards the lack of support she received. Within such a unique tone of irony and frustration, lies vivid imagery within my mind of a woman spending hours beyond hours, day after day, year after year locked insider her room, pouring over countless sheets of paper her heart and soul, thoughts and emotions, and anything else which enters her thinking. Surrounding her are those who would have her do things their way.
The nurse goes on to tell her that, “We should not in the conduct of our lives be too exacting. Look, see this roof here— these overarching beams that span your house— could builders with all their skill lay them dead straight?” (466-469). The nurse believes that excessive behavior of any kind is not a wise manner to live one’s life. Since Euripides uses moderation as an important theme, any character that acts in an immoderate manner is punished. While Hippolytus exhibits extreme chaste, Phaedra is fraught with passion, and Theseus is consumed with anger; they all exhibit excessive behavior and must suffer as a result.
In my opinion he is not showing any emotions towards her but it all seems calm however is not what it seems. When Stephen hears Isabelle and Azaire, Isabelle is pleading towards him showing she has no impact over him and he can do whatever he likes as when he was beating her up. 'It turned into a gasp which, because of its sudden move into a higher register, was clearly one of pain.' Stephen can tell an unease between their relationship and knows something is not right about their relationship therefore questions Isabelle about it after he has heard what just happened. She is desperate and you can tell she is very upset.

There is another mention of Eckleburg further on into the book enforcing his importance, in chapter 8, though this time it is indicated that the character is the symbolism of God. Chapter 2 is when the reader is first introduced to Myrtle Wilson, Tom Buchanan’s mistress. With Nick describing her as ‘faintly stout’ as she enters the room in which he is stood, a ‘thickish figure of a woman blocked out the light from the office door’, instantly gives the reader the sense that Nick does not approve of Myrtle and is quick to judge her. Fitzgerald tells the story of Myrtle in a very unadoring way, and portrays her as a woman desperate to climb up the social ladder. Her relationship with Tom is one based
He also puts her under the intense scrutiny. While under this confinement, she begins to go mad. She believes the wallpaper is monitoring her, and she eventually sees herself as a prisoner inside it. Her fear towards her oppressive husband is clearly demonstrated when she says, “There comes John, and I must put this away- he hates to have me write a word” (Gillman
Her sense of independence and her freedom of self-expression are constantly threatened. This is reinforced by the motif of “fire” throughout the novel. The symbolism of fire is juxtaposed by the motif of ice, which is evidence in the opening sequence of the novel when pathetic fallacy is used to describe the weather as “cold” and “sombre.” The former connotes Jane’s passions, anger and spirit, while the latter symbolizes the oppressive forces trying to extinguish Jane’s vitality, for example, Mrs Reed when she sends Jane to the Red Room. Mrs Reed ensures that Eyre is directed to the Red Room and “lock[ed]” in, to conform her to the young girl that she is expected to be. Furthermore, the Red Room is symbolic space of incarceration for Jane.
But Maya tears the note up, and decides to have nothing to do with it. This illustrates reactive aggression because here Maya reacting suddenly without thinking that is impulsively, when she receives the valentine and decides to tear up it. But it’s not surprising that she does so with so much anger and aggression considering her rape experience. Because of her rape experience, it’s only logical that she would react with this instinctive type of anger that she really cannot control. She can only understand Tommy's note in terms of her experience, which has been very traumatic; so, she reacts with as much revulsion to the note as she does to her unpleasant memories.
But here I can creep smoothly on the floor, and my shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so I cannot lose my way. In the story “The Yellow Wallpaper” many delusions or actions the narrator does, suggest she is losing her mind. From her fabled beginning of being confined to the ominous room with bared windows, to her enormous excerpt of insanity in the concluding scene. In these few lines of “The Yellow Wallpaper”, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the narrator is consumed by her debilitating fear of being trapped inside the wallpaper, and eventually loses her mind over this constant obsession. From the passage the narrator shows that she has completely been consumed by her infatuation of the wallpaper, so much as to say “I wonder if they came out of that wall-paper as I did?” when the narrator is speaking in this line she sees, “so many of those creeping women,” or figures that she believed were birth from the wallpaper as she believes she was also.
Ellen expresses fear for what is around her, such as the baby not being given enough food, the storm breaking down their house, being isolated in her house, and having an argument with her husband, Paul. Coming from the story, the personification "Demented wind fled keening past the house; a wail through the eaves that died every minute or two” is solid, and confidential proof that the atmosphere, and mood in "The Lamp at Noon" was tense. Just from this example in the story, it gives Ellen a feeling of being unsafe, causing her to argue with Paul, and trying to leave her home to try to start a new
