When Shug is introduced in this story, she thinks she is better than everyone else; she treats Celie almost as though she is her servant. She doesn’t even care that she has intercourse with Mr.____ knowing that Celie is his wife. Shug’s personality is like this because of the glamorous lifestyle she leads as a singer. Towards the middle of the story Shug becomes a lot more understanding. She realizes that Mr._____ has been beating Celie.
The author, being the original creator, wrote this book to inspire women by sharing the story of Janie developing as a woman and finding her own voice. The author’s purpose is clear through her descriptive detail of the trials and challenges Janie faced throughout the novel. The director, on the other hand, in not the original creator and is only adapting. His Purpose was clear through the extensive length of time spent on Janie and Tea Cake’s relationship and by his omitting key details that did not fit into his new story line. A major difference that I noticed while watching the movie is the director’s characterization of Tea Cake.
She also takes pride in the way she leads men, of course not leading them on, just simply leading them and sure, she’ll leave them eventually, but that’s not what matters. She is not the type of woman to take men’s feelings into account, she is first and foremost interested in what makes her happy, and if men are the answer, then men she will have. Is the Wife of Bath really a feminist? Well she may be. But for every reason she is one, she also is
They also believed that they were superior to women and that women should remain obedient and oppressed, and not question their husbands or fathers. The conversations that the females in the play have when they are not in the presence of men seem to prove that they have accepted society’s expectations of them, and that when they are in the company of men, they behave the way men believe to be natural. It is for this reason that when Desdemona married Othello without her father, Brabantio’s consent, he states that her actions were “against all rules of nature” (I, iii, 101). Many feminist critics view Desdemona as submissive and oppressed. Desdemona, herself, gives evidence to this claim when she states that she is “obedient” (III, iii, 89) to Othello no matter what.
Benedick is a womaniser and thinks that all women like him. A literary device in the form of non-sequitur is used where Benedick states unsupported opinions. He claims that “It is certain I am loved of all ladies, except you,” which implies that he wants to be loved by her. This reveals his vain and his arrogant side – he thinks he can get whatever he wants. His arrogance, hence, gives us the impression that he has the power in this relationship as he thinks that he can get whatever he wants and, although stubborn, will never step down from his desires.
Macbeth describes Lady Macbeth to be his “dearest love” when he enters the scene this shows that they have a strong loving relationship, and Lady Macbeth gets straight to the point with her plans, she comes in strong and confident so he cannot undermine her. Lady Macbeth has allot of argumentative and fierce points, such as “Your hand, your tongue; look like th’innocent flower, but be the serpent under’t” whereas Macbeth only responds by saying “we will speak further” this shows lady Macbeth has much authority and control of Macbeths thoughts as it shows he is keen to
Of course, a lady and a woman have the same body parts and basic characteristics, but the way each thinks is very different. When a lady is described, immediately popping into your head includes traits such as respectful of herself, unselfish, outspoken, intelligent, and idolized. Being called a lady is an ultimate compliment for a female. A woman often cares mostly about themselves, they are neat and clean but not pristine, and they are considered no higher above on the scale than any other woman. It is often heard of females complaining how they want to find a true gentleman.
She tries to get her audience's attention by being rational and not emotional when she expresses her point of view. At the same time she adds a little humor and extends the idea that men have unreasonable perspectives on gender roles. Judy Brady’s writing style in manipulating her opponents into seeing how men treat women has many advantages. One of them is that by using irony in the essay, she sends a message to all the male readers about how valuable a wife is to them, and also Judy Brady makes use of humor to make her points more convincing. She expressed: “I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need to rest and change of scene”.
This is proven as she creatively reshapes the central value of Marriage and women and the preconceived ideas we had about these central values before immersing ourselves in Letters to Alice on first reading Jane Austen. Prior to reading letters to Alice, most readers would condemn Mrs Bennett’s behaviour and obsession in pursuing marriage for all her daughters. We are introduced to her obsession immediately from the very first page of the novel “A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls...you must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.” The heightened tone of obsessive excitement highlights the fixation of marriage for the women of Austen’s context. With Austen inclusion of Mrs Bennett’s obsession from the very start of the novel emphasise that this value of marriage is most common among all women in Austen’s context.
When Mr. Hale says “Oh well women are used to worrying over trifles” he sums up what the male population thought of women. Martha Hale the first character the audience encounters initially seems like a very practical and efficient wife and mother who “hated to see things half done”. As ordinary as she may seem one can also deduct that she is a smart woman, capable of seeing the bigger picture and when given the chance will stand up for her beliefs. This is apparent through the way Mrs. Hale assess’ the situation that pulled her away
