As the trip is under way she believes she is in another state, and mistakes a road for another one. She tells her family how there is a large house, with pillars on the front porch and how she’d love to visit it once more. As they head to the house, the cat she had snuck into the car, leapt from the basket and into the front seat causing the wreck. If she would have either not gone, or just left the cat at the house, nothing would have happened. “…she was hiding a basket with Pitty Sing, the cat, in it.” (O’Connor 368).
Violence, alcoholics, theft, and threatening people also surround her. Carolina is a strong woman and she knows how to distance herself from all of the bad things in life and to keep her children away from it also. “She hates me. She says that the handsome men and distinguished men prefer me and that I make more money than she does.” (De Jesus, p. 7) Carolina is talking about the jealousy and the hatred coming from the favela women. She puts up with this day-to-day and seems not to get mad that often.
They looked like wig hair, damaged and knotted, but felt like duck feathers.” It is typical for a fiction story to describe surroundings with such detail, but since this was written as a letter to someone, the use of detail is used to emphasize the loneliness of the writer, since she probably has nobody else to listen to what she has to say. With jack being gone, the writer has nobody else to talk to at home, so during various parts of the letter, one can witness how the writer is constantly giving her cat human traits, such as: “We danced the visitor-gone dance, flinging our feet (and paws)…” further indicating her loneliness and longing for another person’s

Isobel shared similar traits to Diana, her apartment was just as messy, she was always seeking the approval of others and was also psychotic which is displayed by her obscene prank phone-calls in which she would verbally abuse whoever was unfortunate enough to be on the other end of the line. Isobel’s final quest for identity and change leads her to Mrs Adams house (Isobel’s next door neighbour during her childhood), Isobel finds out that her parents lied to her in order for her to be scared of Mrs Adams after Isobel wrote a poem about her cat. Mrs Adams tells Isobel that she loved the poem and that her cat ‘Smoke’ later died and followed with ‘’well, nothing lasts for ever, as they say.’’ Isobel replies with ‘’I hope they are right’’ implying that Isobel hopes the mental pain inflicted by her mother will not bother her any longer. After a final expelling of frustration Isobel says ‘’I am a writer, I am a
This is shown through interaction between the old women the cats. In the beginning the cats are described as “outlaws” , the use of metaphor here implies people’s ignorance towards them. They are underdogs abandoned by the society. However “They think she is a princess out of a tower, And so she is , she is trembling with love and power”. The use of fairytale allusion in “a princess out of tower” is symbolic of the caring and kindness of Australian public to animals.
She is desperate to feel noticed and special and this shows how lonely she is and isolated. Steinbeck presented Curley's Wife in different ways. First she is seen as 'a tart', a threat, using her power, being racist but then she is presented as also lonely and compassionate to Lennie. In Steinbeck's letter to the actress playing her in the play version, he says 'if you could break down her thousand defences she has built up, you would find a nice person, an honest person, and you would end up loving her.' We see in the end what a nice person she can be and that she wants to be loved like anyone else.’ |
She, “did not like him as much as a bride should like her bridegroom,” (Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm). This alone breaks the rules of the fairy tales we all know because there is a mention of whether the girl likes her suitor or not. In most fairy tales marriage is a prize, not something that has to do with actually liking someone. The girl then goes to her fiancé’s house and hears a bird screeching that she should turn back because she is in a murderer’s house. After exploring the dark home, the girl discovers and old woman.
A repressed women with a desire to be free and happy. The relation between when the woman in the wallpaper and the narrator when the woman is behind bars symbolizes the narrator and how she is trapped in this tiny room with a husband who controls her every word and actions. He undermines her in almost every way. For example the narrator says on page 590 “I am afraid, but i don't care- there is something strange about that house-I can feel it, I even said so to John one moonlight evening, but he said what i felt was a drought, and shut the window.” This shows how john undermines her fears as just a simple shiver from the window being open when she is trying to explain how she doesn't like the place because shes
Page 1 of 3 English Standard: Assessment Task No 5 The poem, ‘Lady Feeding the Cats’ conveys distinct images of a poor, old woman who cares for stray cats in the Domain that challenges widely held assumptions such as the coexistence with ‘beauty’ and ‘ugly’. “Proudly… they march together with an arching of backs”. Anthropomorphism is used within the cats, which connects the readers emotionally to the text by conveying that cats are not as different as humans themselves. The formed image within the reader of the cats which “march together with an arching of backs” prompts the reader to be reminded of an army of soldiers proudly marching towards the enemy. Steward uses metaphors to create a distinct image of the cats within the readers, “those outlaws prowling about the Domain”.
