In both poems gender conflict is demonstrated between through the emotion of betrayal in a relationship. For example in Les Grands Seignurs she talks about “little woman” which could show the great depth of thought about how she feels towards men. The word “a toy, a plaything” suggests that’s once she got married she has became powerless and feels like she is a toy, this shows her betrayal as when you get married you expect the marriage to be fantastic and not to feel like a toy. In contrast, Medusa also demonstrates this when she says “wasn’t I beautiful?” this Is effective as I can infer that she feels insecure about her looks. It also suggests that she misses her past through the use of a rhetorical question which makes the reader feel sympathy for her.
Many men fell for this and in my opinion she became very powerful in a sense. I believe Cathy was a very selfish character. While reading East of Eden I thought that she might have had mental problems. I was furious that she tried to kill her baby and later on lied about why say tried to do such a thing. Then when she gave birth to her twins sons, she acted as if she did not want them and I believe that Cathy was selfish was because she shot her husband in the shoulder.
This quote is significant because Cholly Pocola’s abusive father, an alcoholic man who rapes his daughter at the end of the novel which is the climax of the book. Cholly states that love relates to his personality that forces him to love in a violent way. Cholly isn’t a good person so his love ghastly bad. The quote “I thought about the baby that everyone wanted dead, and saw it very clearly. It was in a dark, wet place, its head covered with O's of wool, the black face holding, like nickels, two clean black eyes, the flared nose, kissing-thick lips, and the living, breathing silk of black skin.
Clearly the way to get beautiful women is to ignore them, perhaps mistreat them" (272). The ad Kilbounre is describing is similar to the picture in the Bebe ad, and she is trying to make women see just how degrading these images are. The woman in the Bebe ad is very desperately attempting to get the man's attention by leaning on him and focusing her attention on him, but he doesn't seem interested. The image is posed like that to show superiority and power that men supposedly have over women. This teaches women that they need to constantly dote on the man, whether he pays attention or not.
She looks down on most people and expects the Inspector to treat her with the upmost respect she often treats the Inspector as inferior.

The Discrimination against Women Identities Throughout history, female were considered lesser beings and nothing more than the property of their husband. In the short story, Blank Spaces by Joanna Cockerline, the acknowledgment of female being inferior creatures in comparison to men is highlighted.

In Blank Spaces, the social inequality implied by the narrative severely impacts Elizabeth’s career hierarchy, character traits, and life experiences. Like many feminist writer, Cockerline focuses her emphasis on how social norm discriminate women by inhibit their job opportunities.
Examine the way in which Regret is shown in Les Grands Seigneurs and Medusa Regret is shown in many ways throughout Les Grands Seigneurs and Medusa. In Les Grands Seigneurs it is shown by the way that she see’s men as these innocent and ignorant beings that she use to control and have under her control, then know that she is married and it’s the other way round she regrets this, due to the fact that she finds out how it feels to be used. We know that she used men as it states ‘Men were my buttresses, my castellated towers.’ Throughout that line she is using the word ‘my’ constantly, this is a possessive pronoun and makes it seem like they are under her control, and that she has more power than them. As well as this the use of metaphors adds effect as buttresses and castellated towers are to support and protect something more important, she is referencing this to herself as being more important and the men being there to support and protect her. Whereas later on in the poem she states ‘But after I was wedded, bedded, I became (yes, overnight) a toy, a plaything, little woman, wife, a bit of a bluff.’ This is showing us that she had lost her power and importance, and by adding the point that she became a wife, a plaything it is trying to make out that she became an accessory to the man, just another part of them.
Since Haimon could not stand dealing with his lover’s death he “drew his sword” and killed himself. Creon was overwhelmed to see that his son had fallen in love with a traitor. Furthermore, Creon’s wife Eurydice felt devastated after her son’s death. When Eurydice heard the cause of Haimon’s death, she went to her room and her “heart welcomed the knife her own hand guided.” The death of Creon’s most valuable possession was caused by his ignorance and hubris. Creon had to suffer for the rest of his life knowing that he was the only one responsible for their
The personality and strong character of the female archetypes on Othello can be seen through the Feminist point of view. The three main female characters; Desdemona, Emilia and Bianca; are all affected and oppressed by society in different ways. Desdemona; the faithful wife; and her servant, Emilia are suppressed by the society’s male domination, and its views that women should be owned by men as if they are property. Bianca, on the other hand, has more freedom than of an average woman due to her role as a courtesan. However, she, also is suppressed by the society due to her work as a courtesan.
Showing that she would be even more of a man if she were him, thus forcing him to slowly leave his conscience aside and do what his wife has told him. She also presents herself as a cruel and evil character when she says, “That which hath made them drunk hath made be bold” shows that she is guiltless and not worried about the consequences of her actions. And Despite all that her husband is saying in this scene about this guild Lady Macbeth somehow remains adequately hardened to the deed that she has done and even goes on in this scene to make several horrific and ironic comments, which is believably since it is coming from her cunning mind. But I would say that just by looking at this scene I can tell that lady Macbeth is a cold and Two-faced woman who will go through life-threatening things to achieve what she
