Housework was a very important task and women were supposed to take great joy in it. Upper and middle class girls were taught from a young age the skills they would need in order to keep a happy, healthy, peaceful home. While the outside world and working force were definitively male, the home was considered to be a feminine place. The outside world was evil and full of sin and wrongdoing, but the home was a moral haven (MacKethan). Husbands went to work in the corrupt world of industry, so they were meant to come home, decompress, and once again become attuned with their compassionate side.
Feminists thought it important to the voicing of ‘domestic ideology’ which was a period of idealisation of family, marriage at young age, women returning home when not needed in work. It was designed to keep women in their place at that time. This can be seen in the story with the description of the table setting ‘candles were set on the white linen tablecloth,
This house allows Edna to be both at ‘home’ and to possess independence where she can behave as she likes, without worrying how others look at her actions. As Edna began to settle in her new home, it “pleased her. It at once assumed the intimate character of a home, while she herself invested it with a charm which it reflected like a warm glow” (Chopin 151). The idea the home represents all that is hers allows Edna’s life to regain brightness and happiness; showing that Edna is no longer a piece of property which Léonce owned in their old New Orleans house, instead she fills this home with everything that is her. Thus, in the end the pigeon house symbolizes the freedom Edna yeans to have and ultimately
It is necessary to note the juxtaposition of the setting. Possessions such as ‘ornamental fibre light’ and a ‘telephone’ on the ‘room divider shelf unit’ isn’t considered posh, as Beverly thinks. There is a ‘leather three piece suite’, an ‘onyx coffee table’ and ‘sheepskin rug’; which clashes with the normal household furniture. This is symbolic of Beverly and Laurence, consequently establishing their characters as aspirational middle class. Therefore, this gives the idea that through Beverly and Laurence’s possessions, Leigh is mocking stereotypes like them from the 70’s.

Alejandra Vazquez UAS 1310 15 February 2013 Harmony at Home Is your family perfect? The idea of the “perfect” model family is so widely accepted, due to the attention that it receives in the media. “Harmony at Home” is the image of the model family consisting of a housewife-mother, a breadwinner father, a couple of kids, and a pet or two in a little spacious suburban house. This is the dream of most Americans, but not all dreams come true. Being realistically, we know that nothing in this world is perfect.
The cultural ramifications are an important part of this novel. The cultural ramifications are the Hedda is expected to be the sophisticated house wife that stays home and tends to her family, while this is exact opposite of who Hedda really is. Hedda has always been her. She is very unique in her thinking and very different from those other “proper, bourgeois” women that surround her. In a converstion with Thea, Hedda states, “I want the power to shape a man’s destiny” (Ibsen 37).
When the image of a “perfect” American home comes to mind, you see a house with a white fence, a mother, a father, two children, and a dog. Now the mother is usually seen with an apron on and some baked goods in her hand waiting to disperse her goods. The skill of producing those “goods” is considered to be one of the main qualities or necessities to being a productive female for society. “Wifehood and motherhood were regarded as women’s most significant professions.” (Women’s International Center) I too have to say that I was swayed by society’s vision of this nuclear family. The mom would stay at home doing chores that needed to be done and would cook the food for each meal, while the father was the breadwinner.
Men need help and so do women; this truth lays the foundation for being able to celebrate differences and embrace positives that will assist in living a fuller life (McKinney Hammond 51). Godly women are to help (help mate) their husbands stay in place: Spiritually by praying (continual communication with God), fasting, applying the Word of God in her life and worshipping in truth; naturally by tending the house, him (sexually) and children. When a man’s house is in order, he is motivated to be the provider that is needed. Keep the house clean: however you can. If working, a student, etc.
