Miss Strangeworth thinks that she is like her golden fountain pen and everyone else is insignificant. Jackson uses archetypes to support the theme of “The Possibility of Evil” by making Miss Strangeworth use roses as the plant that she tends to every day. Roses look fragile but they hide their thorns. Miss Strangeworth is like the roses because she to hides her thorns. A rose also could stand for royalty and Miss Strangeworth thinks of herself as the princess of the town when she says, “A princess can see a lot of trouble sometimes” (3).

The story Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton is no exception to the rule of archetypes. In fact, the two main females in Ethan Frome’s life are based off of two common archetypes, the temptress and the shrew. First of all, Mattie Silver is what many would call the typical temptress.

The temptress is a female who possess what the male desires and she uses these desires as a means to his ultimate demise.
In the novel, when Nanny slaps Janie, she goes to the pear tree where she experiences her sexual awakening. According to the novel, it was stated that “Janie’s fascination with the pear tree blossoms coincides with her emergence as a sexual being – one that is "stirred" into existence, feels the "caress[es]" of her waking sexual nature.” This demonstrates that Janie learned about her sexual existence under the pear tree. However, there was no mention of the pear tree on the film that detracts the quality of the movie. In the text, the mule had a gigantic storyline which facilitated to build the character of mayor Joe Starks. In the novel, Jody purchases the mule from Mr. Bonner, so that the people will stop bothering him.
“The Pumpkin Eater” By Alexi Kondylas The short story "The Pumpkin Eater" by Isabelle Carmody is a coming-of-age rite of passage and an allegory.

Fredrick Douglas creates a depressing tone in chapter one when he talks about the abuse of his aunt. “I have often been awakened at the dawn of day by the most heart ranching shrieks of an aunt of mine, who he would tie up in a joist and whip till she was covered in blood.” Fredrick Douglas is using ethos and pathos in this sentence. He is sharing an occurrence from his past, which gives him credibility because it was something that he had witnessed, rather than something that he had heard through the grape vine. You can also identify logos in this quote when he uses the words “heart wrenching” which refers to something that causes great sadness, to describe his aunt’s shrieks from the pain of being whipped. He is giving us as the readers an idea of the way this instance in his life made him feel, while creating a somber tone for the reader.
When Eve ate the forbidden fruit, from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, she changed the course of history, especially for that of females. The onset of the feminism revolt may very well have started with one bite of that infamous apple. Since Eve’s fatal transgression, freedom in a patriarchal environment for women has evolved at a snail’s pace. Life for women in the 1800s was that of many obligations and few choices.

Q. State properly a main idea for the story and support it with evidence from the text. In “Feathers,” I think the author is saying that imperfections may be ingredients for ultimate satisfaction and complacency. In the story, one major contrast between the couples is their values and attitudes in life. In early stage, Jack’s affection for Fran is merely manifested through his obsession and fondness in her hair, such that “he might stop loving her if she [cuts] it” (334).
She does a lot to make sure that people can see her hair and she is not afraid to show off her individual spirit. However, Joe, her second husband, shows his dominance over Janie by making her tie up her hair in head rags. Joe not letting Janie wear her hair the way she wants to takes Janie freedom of individualism. Joe’s reason of insisting of Janie to wear the head rag is due to jealousy since he would see other man touching her hair (Clarke). Janie’s freedom is taken away the moment she cannot longer wear her hair freely the way Joe did not want her to.
