As she does she realizes she is nothing like them as demonstrated in the film she yells to all of her guest to leave because they were acting childish. Mick is different from her peers because her mentality is as if an adult; she has ambitions and initials everything with her name because her goal is to sometime be famous and leave this town. Mick loves music and enjoys creating it as well since she has no one to enjoy it with she takes lonely walks in the dark to listen to the music. This is until she meets John Singer who she teaches him about the sound of music since he is a death mute. Mick felt as if she lived to life’s; one was with her family and everyone else and the other life no one knew where her lonely walks to hear music.
Demonstration of Dickinson’s fruitless attempts to belong is evident in her Highly personal “Letter to the World” that she emphasises “never wrote” back. Extension of this isolation further enhances her estrangement from the world, evident when she refers to the “Hands I cannot see.” Regardless of this Dilemma, Dickinson introduces her problem through the positive connotations of “Sweet Countrymen,” highlighting her estrangement and inability to conform to society’s needs. In spite of her rejection, enforcement of her innate need to belong allows Dickinson to seek solace in nature if not with society. Confusion may act as a mechanism leading to an individual’s realisation that they do no belong. Through exploration of Dickinson’s interactions with the world, her perceptions of nature change in realisation of how vast and mysterious the world – especially nature – is in her poem “what mystery pervades a well.” Unlike this is my Letter to the World,” Dickinson realises that her connection to nature may be as superficial
She shuns the luxuries of her brother’s mansion, for the quiet comforts of Gods creation. She abstains from the town gossip circles, for time alone to allow more time for inner reflection. These characteristics should make her a good role model but instead she is simple labeled as a witch for her peculiarities. She is so misunderstood that even a so-called devil child can see her goodness “What is it, good Mistress Hibbins? (Hawthorne 237)” Mistress Hibbins is a lonely, widower that misses her husband and wants to be with him.
Mrs. Freeman is quite the opposite, having to work on a farm for other owners and not having a free or open mindset towards people. Mrs. Hopewell isn’t very hopeful with her daughter and of her becoming successful with her knowledge and is very pessimistic with Hulga. Hulga, the dual dimension main character that goes through a complete change throughout the story. She changes her name to Hulga, an unusual and rather ugly name, to reflect her feelings about her injured body and self-esteem and to forget about her given name Joy. The significance of Joy remaining conscious even though terribly injured as a child when her leg was blasted off indicates that Joy seems to have rejected her own body by choosing a life of intelligence and of the mind.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE NECKLACE KIMBERLY BRAY ENGLISH 125: JOURNEY INTO LITERATURE SARAH LAHUE FEBRUARY 25, 2013 My analysis was on “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant. This particular story presented a woman who was desperate for a luxurious lifestyle. She is unhappy in her marriage and unhappy with her life. Her husband represents simplicity and the idea of living within a means. Mathilde obsesses over things that most other women never notice or care about.
If you look closely at Shakespeare's play she is a girl neglected by all who should hold some responsibility for her: her father, her brother, her boyfriend and the court. I wanted to take that figure (as well as the other female stereotype of Gertrude the
Blanche blames her sister for leaving her alone to take care of things herself in Belle Reeve which is emphasized by the short sentences used when she says ‘I let the place go! Where were you! In bed with your –Polack!’. The repeated exclamations also further reiterate her feelings of betrayal and loneliness caused by Stella’s absence in her life when she left their home. ‘Polak’ refers to Stanley and his mention here foreshadows the conflict soon to follow between Blanche and him.
Women of a certain era were expected to perform a number of societal tasks, not the least of which was to marry and become a decent housewife, ever present in the home, living only to serve her husband. The women who did not marry, who lived alone and remained unmarried and therefore depressed were seen as outcasts. In “Our Friend Judith”, the protagonist is in many ways viewed as the latter, a poorly dressed abnormality that relies on her uncle for support, living in a rather unfortunate apartment by herself. The contradiction, however, is that Judith, unlike her stereotypical spinster counterparts, chooses to remain in this condition. She is an intellectual, a poet with fans that she simply brushes aside, and an occasional lover, carrying on relationships until she grows weary of such interaction and then returning to her prior state.
She will stand up to anyone and anything, warrior-women Ugly Girl, as she puts it. She ends up dropping off the basketball team after not doing well in a game which also tells us that she is afraid of getting humiliated and be a laugh to others, but that is not her major problem. Her major problem is that she also overheard what Matt says and she is the one to convince the principal that Matt should be forgiven and allowed to return to school. What she does not count on is that she begins to actually be attracted to Matt, and for a girl who is been operating independently of what other people want and think, it is sort of a hard thing to deal
In his play ‘A Doll’s House’, Henrik Ibsen suggests that his characters are all strangers within society in their own way. He deliberately keeps the idea of a ‘stranger’ within humanity unclear. The protagonist of ‘A Doll’s House’, Nora Helmer, is as a stranger to herself. Towards the end of the plot she realizes how she has been playing a role in order so she could fit in society, ever since she was a child. Therefore she changes dramatically, as she is tired of being treated condescendingly by both her husband, Torvald and her ‘friend’ Christine Linde.
