Through the choice of words by the author in these references from the book, the reader is led to believe that women were generally portrayed as passive individuals, known to stay at home, cook for their husbands and care for the children while the men were active at work. Once the girls came to the cash register and paid for their items, the foreshadowing thoughts of the elder, less attractive women in the store is realised as the manager of the store approached them and told them that the girls were inappropriately dressed for a grocery store. After being approached by the manager Queenie instinctively started to make excuses for the way that they were dressed, stating “My mother asked me to pick up a jar
Stella exemplifies the perceived domestic role of women during that period, staying at home while Stanley goes to work. She does not have a profession and it is implied that Stanley handles the financial matters of the house from where she states that he “likes to pay bills himself” (Williams 161). When Stanley hears from Stella that Blanche lost Belle Reve, he is immediately suspicious and demands that Blanche show him the paperwork. He gives a speech about the “Napoleonic code”, under which what belongs to the wife belongs to the husband (Williams 133). Neither Blanche nor Stella knows about the code, which reinforces this stereotype.
Women were trapped in a male-dominated world. In fact the reader never learns the woman’s name, meaning that this could be any woman at this time. The yellow wallpaper in the room the woman was locked in represents women being held back by men. The woman is being held in the room by her husband, John. Even though her husband is a physician, she disagrees with his ideas when he says that she needs to be in the room.
6) He remembers writing poems that are now locked in his drawer at home, along with a play called "Saul." 7) He pretty much explains how Kemmerich isn't going to need them, and that they should go to Muller instead of some random nurse who would steel them the second he dies. 8) Himmelstoss has a very bad temper and is seen as one of the meanest commanders. Another person in charge finds Paul and Cropp cleaning the barrack and sends Himmelstoss to finish the rest. This makes him even more angry.
It was expected that they would rear their young. The women were to take care of the basic domestic duties such as cleaning the house, doing laundry, and preparing meals for the husbands who come home from a long day at work. Smith makes it seem as though women did not like their house work and was deemed more of a punishment. The main character in the novel, Nellie Smith, also called “Smithy” by her comrades, is always describing cleaning the worst part of her job. Women who did work outside of the home were often poor or working class.
The party’s conversations are very racist. Bad things about Atticus are said because he isn’t there to defend himself; like how he is defending a black person. Some bad things are said about the case too. The whole case brings up their scorn for Atticus, while they are in his house! Even though there is a lot of trash-talking going on at the tea party, it is very proper, because even Scout is dressed lady-like.
They would have to work a certain distance so and turn around showing no mercy to the opponent they were up against. In another poem called in Paris with you it mentions and remain here in this sleazy…old hotel room…doing this and that to what and whom… this is referring back to George as he has undertaken the task of looking after Lennie. So this is like a full time parent job preventing George from having a normal quality of life, whilst the other go and visit the local brothel also known as a ‘whorehouse’. The other ranch workers go there as they have nothing else better to do so they go to see women flaunt and throw themselves at men to entertain them.
The 1990 movie ‘Edward Scissorhands’ presented viewers with a cynical view of mankind. It provides all spectators with a negative view on how we live, work, and communicate. The characters in Edward Scissorhands are all stereotypes of human kind. The women in this movie are portrayed as typical desperate housewives. They do the cooking, cleaning, looking after the kids, gossip over the phone, have cups of coffee at each others houses and none of them do anything out of the ordinary.
It also shows how she thinks people should cater to her, so Stanley says she acts like the “Queen of the Nile”. An example of this would be how Blanche thought Stella should fetch a Coke for her constantly. Blanche also has no respect for others or their needs. She occupies the bathroom for hours while she soaks in a hot bath, even though there are many other people in the house that would like to use the bathroom. She has little respect for
Her lack of education is immediately publicized when she speaks in an informal tone towards Frank. Rita’s frustrated as she finally enters Franks office, her first words were: “I’m comin in, aren’t I? It’s that stupid bleedin’ handle on the door. You wanna get it fixed!”. Franks confusement and surprise shows he hadn’t understood her properly thus edifying the dissimilarity in tone giving the audience information based on Rita’s background and social class.
