Hale and Mrs. Peters the facts of the motive and their silence of the crime should be analyzed. They were in the Wright’s house to help their husband and the county attorney to solve the mystery but the men did not care about the women’s things, the trifles, they could not imagine that the little details were able to solve the case as when they were in the kitchen and the county attorney was asked if there was something important there and he answered with sarcasm “Nothing here but kitchen things” (67). "The big shot men in a small town" thought that if they were unable to find evidence of the crime, women were much less capable; moreover the observations made by Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters were a laughing stock for men, like when “county attorney picked up the apron. He laughed” and said “Oh, I guess they’re not very dangerous things the ladies have picked up.”(279) Besides of having their remarks ridiculed by men, the women imagined the miserable life of Minnie Foster because the old stove there was in the house, the neighbor did not used to see her, she used sing before become Mrs. Wright, because of the bird-cage they were able to imagine the lonesome life that she had. Sometimes, these findings were cry motives; even so Mr. Wright was known to be a “good man”, “He didn’t drink, and kept his words as well as most, (…), and paid his debts” but according to Mrs. Hale, “he was a hard man.” (202) and the broken door hinge could be another evidence
Moreover, men see themselves superior than woman because of patriarchy system. In the film, McMurphy did not listen to Miss Ratchet as a leader and is against all of her decisions as well. McMurphy refuse to listen to her because she is a female. She may be a leader in the mental institution but not to his
No characters in the novel care for Curley’s Wife (except for Lennie for a brief time) and very little attention is given to her- partly because they are intimidated by the potential wrath of Curley, son of the boss, if they step out of line concerning his wife. Because of this, many of the men only see her as an
Steinbeck leads the reader to believe that Curley does not really care about his wife; if he did, he would not be flaunting their private life and he would consider her dignity. This instantly degrades Curley’s wife’s reputation. Candy goes on further to describe her character by telling George that ‘she got the eye…I seen her give Slim the eye’. ‘The eye’ is suggesting that she is looking at other men whilst being married which creates a negative impression of her character on the reader. Steinbeck raises
Because their relationship is an affair, they cannot see each other in the way they want to very often and especially not while other people are around. They are not married to each other which make their relationship very wrong in that community and time- more so wrong than it would be now. John Procter understands that their secret must be kept, but finished, but Abigail doesn’t care that they were caught once and could be caught again. She just wants their relationship back and says, “Oh, I marvel, how such a strong man may let such a sickly wife be-” (miller 22) Abigail then comes to claim that Elizabeth, john’s wife, is “Blackening me (her) name in the village!” She is telling lies about me (her)!” (Miller 22) but he just gets angry at himself because it’s true, and threatens to whip her for talking about his wife that
Mrs. Wright's story is told indirectly through a conversation between Martha Hale—whose husband discovered the body of John Wright—and Mrs. Peters, the wife of the local sheriff. The sheriff asks Mrs. Hale to accompany them to the Wright's house so she can keep his wife company while the men investigate the murder scene. Thrown together by circumstance, the women form an immediate bond as they begin gathering some of Minnie's belongings to bring to her in her jail cell. Concluding that there is nothing in the kitchen except for “kitchen things,” the men begin their investigation in the upstairs of the house and in an outside barn. Left alone in Minnie's kitchen, however, the two women begin discovering their own clues about Minnie's possible motive for killing her husband.
After Candy has brought George to the barn to show him Curley’s wife, George leaves and Candy cries. What is the true source of Candy’s sadness and why? Compare the killing of Curley’s wife to the night Candy’s old dog was shot and killed by Carlson. 2. Death is the beginning and the culminating event in the chapter, but the killing of Curley’s wife is regarded with a lack of emotion by the characters, even less than the killing of the puppy or the shooting of Candy’s dog earlier in the book.
Ophelia’s didn’t have honor for herself because she didn’t do what she wanted she did what others said so in a way she didn’t really respect herself. Ophelia also let Hamlet treat her any way that he wanted to and she never bothered to tell him what she didn’t like. Ophelia was also having sexual intercourse with Hamlet before they were married, this was a big thing back then to wait till marriage, Ophelia didn’t have much honor in herself because she let herself be controlled by men. As a parting shot, he points out that even if Ophelia is a regular girl, marriage would still be awful. Actually, he says, if she has to marry, Ophelia should marry a fool, as wise men know that women only make men into "monsters", even while knowing this Ophelia kept on loving Hamlet even though Hamlet would not respect her.
The effective noun ‘bees’ suggests Guy dislikes them because humans, as a group, are not particularly fond of ‘bees’. The verb ‘humming’ suggests Mildred is content and happy and has no care to talk to Montag and as they cannot simply talk to each other it highlights another fault. Guy is noticing these problems and realises that he and Mildred do not love each other as they should. Guy finds that this is common throughout his community and that it isn’t right, so he begins to rebel against it. Initial signs of Montag’s rebellion continue to occur throughout the novel.
Curley’s wife lived not only through the sexiest society which rejected her but her husband did not love her at all making her become “… a tart… with the eye,”(Steinbeck14). That is the image that the men have of Curley’s wife because they are ignorant and do not understand that all she is searching for is to have someone to talk to. Curley’s wife’s loneliness led her to have a bad image with the men on the ranch but also made her seek for attention in anybody she did not matter who. For example she would talk to Candy, and old lifeless man, Crooks who is a Negro that is physically disabled, and Lennie who is a huge man that is mentally retarded. She became mean too since she was lonely and the men rejected her.
