The paper referred to prostitutes as sisters and Men were usually depicted as the wrongdoers. This was a concept unheard of in Ingraham’s society. Ingaham shed light on the fact that once a woman was violated and abandoned by a man, she became shunned by the community, lost all opportunities to be married to a “good man,” had few job prospects available to her, as well as had no legal recourse. The only job women could hold at the time was as sweat shop employees, where they would be paid extremely low wages, on which survival was difficult, especially if the women had to support her children. Ingraham felt this broken system had been pushing women onto the street and into prostitution.
Thinking this would stop her from her mission was a sorrowful mistake. Saint Cecilia preached the laws of God even more with a new fire knowing that her husband and brother in law were with the Father Almighty. Even after the beheading of herself, she hung on by just a strip a skin her heat still beating while her family and friend came to say good-bye and wish her a safe journey. Sentenced to death she was not worried or scared, because she knew she would be joining her father. Saint Cecilia’s childhood was unique for most saints.
I get the feeling that she was sick from before because of the fact that she killed her husband and went into hiding. I also sympathize with her because if my husband or any family member was brain dead I kind-of would’ve wanted to end their suffering too but at least stick around to do the time after, instead of running away like you planned it. Maybe while her husband was “dead” she snapped and just couldn’t take it anymore, standing around waiting for your loved one to die is just horrible, and maybe during that timing she just had a break down physiologically, and emotionally.
Crooks often talks about his loneliness and how that the more lonely people get the more “mean” and “sick” they become. This relates closely to Curley’s wife because her character is seen as very malicious and sometimes angry. But once she is dead, the “meanness and the plannings and discontent…were all gone
On the whole the dead are regarded as beneficent and if they send sickness, then it has to be out of good reasoning. Although many of the village people are present at death ceremonies, mourning affects only the immediate kin of the deceased. These members enter a special hut, and cannot wash or shave their heads. They must remain there for 4 days for a deceased man and 3 days for a woman. The rituals and practices, as well as the myths and beliefs of the Lugbara are complex and involve very specific traditions.
They shared a tombstone with only one marking: a red letter A on a simple black slate. Even after Hester Prynne’s life ended, she was still branded as a sinner. The magistrates wanted to fill her life with sorrow and misery, and that is exactly what it did to her. She was an exile to the people who were once her neighbors, and was treated like she was inferior to everyone else. Through all this, Hester still held her head high.

Through her death, it is revealed in Macbeth his care and love for his wife. Her death was at a terrible time, and Macbeth wishes she died later, when it was possible to mourn her, as he said: “She should have died hereafter / There would have been a time for such a word.” (5.5.19-20). It is revealed how desolate and miserable Macbeth’s life will be when he says, “To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow / Creeps in this petty pace from day to day” (5.5.21-22). This line is significant because Macbeth expresses that his life will have no meaning. So even if he somehow avoids his fate, and still remains king, he will not be truly happy without the companionship of his wife.
