She was care-fee and mischievous. She also remained friends with Heathcliff despite her brother’s disapproval, which shows her disregard for social standards. They even made a pact to grow up as savages together, which further removed them from society's customs. But when Catherine went to go live with the Linton’s for a while she changed into a proper young lady because she had the proper education for a young lady in her
She prefers to spend more time with herself than with her family because of this she has a weak relationship with her parents. The story discusses how she has two sides: one for home and one for not being home. Her abduction was solely due to her fault for her appearance that she presented in public, to the relationship that she had with her family and lastly her naiveness. The antagonist Arnold Friend somehow knew about Connie. He saw a great opportunity the moment he set his eyes on her.
Sheila is the only one which feels compassion from Eva’s death. The reader also sympathises with her because he is the only one which reveals against the power of rich classes. She is still a young woman and therefore she expects more to happen in his life, also as the play says she is “very pleased with life”. Sheila’s language is in a mid term between formal and informal due to his short age. Eric: His relations with his family are open; all the family knows his drink problem except his mother because he still sees him as a child.
The audience would have been shocked by his behaviour because so far what the audience have seen in the play was that he showed respect and love to his daughter when suddenly his temper changed into hatred and anger the audience would be much exited sitting on the bottom of their chairs. Capulet had the power that could throw her out of the house without any problems, in those times people didn’t have equal rights. Juliet responds to this by kneeling down and
However, whilst Serena feels that she holds power over Offred, she is providing power to Offred by allowing her to feel a sense of agency and a thrilling sense of the ‘time before’. She also exerts her power through her use of snide remarks that she feels are constantly reminding Offred where she stands under her household. In reality Serena Joy knows that she has very limited power but tries to exert the little that she does to keep her marriage and have a child with him and live as a happy
Joe's reasoning for attempting to make Chris feel guilty boil down to the fact that it will ultimately sustain Kate's support for him. The period in which A Doll's House was written was a time of intense subordination for women. As a Marxist would say, women were 'reified' by society due to its ideological nature, restricted to mere commodities. Nora is indeed expected to conform to this principle by the characters of the play as well as audiences and critics of the time, but Ibsen has crafted the character in such a way that it is clear she is against the role
For example Nora being treated like a doll/toy instead of a human being/wife, both by her husband and father. Nora’s environment making her the way she was versus her actually learning herself was an example. This particular exert from the play was quite interesting to me, because it drew me into it from the very beginning, and left me wanting more at the end. This play is a prime example of many people’s lives even in today’s society. Woman still go through this.
When she reaches the Scott’s house at the end of the story, she apologizes for her hat because she thinks that it is out of place of where she is. “Excuse my hat,” ( p. 16 ). Her apologetic behavior shows that she is sensitive to others even though they are in a different class. It also shows how she has matured from when she had first tried on her hat and forgot Mr. Scott's tragedy. Another reason many may believe that Laura hasn’t matured is that on her walk to the Scott’s house, she can’t get the party out of
Bella’s guilt caused by her mother’s fear of loneliness has left her short of any male relations. She cannot escape the wrath of her mother, and continually surrenders to her mother's will. Also, Bella has felt she cannot start her own relationship because her mother, in an effort to protect her living children, she has trained them not to feel by hardening them with punishments such as locking them in a closet or beating them with her cane” (Bloom, Harold. “List of characters in Lost in Yonkers. p67-68).
Nora is seen as a source of entertainment around the house and for performances like the Tarantella and is treated as a child by her husband and Mrs. Linde (especially when she sits down on a foot stool before Mrs. Linda as a child would) due to her illusory happy appearance. Nora was dominated within the household by her father, and later by Torvald, which forced her to hide her true feelings leading to her inner problems. She also worried about the consequences of her loan and how it would affect her loved ones, as she would always try to please rather than follow the status quo; she risked her reputation’s status for family. While Nora has the role of being at home, Gregor is always busy working and travelling having no stable relationships with many people in his life, including his own family who he would only see during Christmas or rarely at dinners. He also tends to please the family and worries about their reputation within society when the manager comes in to their house wondering why Gregor was absent from the office.
