After meeting Zeena Ethan Frome is caught between 2 woman, one that can provide him with love and compassion, and his wife, who he relies on for economic support. In the book, the woman are the ones to make the decisions, and men were usually portrayed as weak. Edith Wharton’s exposure to knowledge about the cruel social status of individuals due to the war during the 1900, and her view of gender roles in society influenced her novella of Ethan Frome and forced it into a naturalistic perspective. The poor economic status of the characters in the novel, and the weak figure of Ethan Frome, leads to the cruel ending of the novel, encouraging the idea that our destiny can not be changes, and that outside forces control our outcome. Edith Wharton included the harsh economic status of Americans during the 1900, by basing her novel on the war.
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.

It was hard for her to receive so much attention from her father, but have her mother abandon her emotionally.
The description of the ten-year-old heroine as “a picture of passion” at the beginning of Jane Eyre is fitting in several instances throughout the first five chapters. Neglected by her Aunt Reed during the first ten years of her life, and treated extremely harshly by her supposed “benefactress”, Jane is unable to assert herself and often acts in defiance to the injustices placed upon her. She is a fiery and passionate character, due to the way she often does not think of consequences before she speaks or acts, bringing her far more trouble than reward. Bronte uses a combination of powerful language, imagery and symbolism to present the complex character of Jane in a vivid and memorable way. Throughout the beginning of the novel, Jane Eyre is continually portrayed by Bronte as a defiant young girl, whose strong feelings often forsake the reason and rational thinking that her unusual maturity suggests she is capable of.
