Those types of jokes can be funny even if they are a little offensive as a woman. Also some jokes, like those dealing with rape or the Holocaust, actually reinforces our disdain for that act. We laugh at the ridiculousness of the joke and then kind of go “ohhhh” and think more in depth at the
Miss Schwartz is a people pleaser, and she must learn to treat herself with dignity. Multiple times in the story Miss Schwartz does not take responsibility for her actions. After taking the dress from the department store Lena is not sure about bringing the dress back. The narrator states, “she would have gone back with the dress, but did not know how to go about it.” Miss Schwartz knows that it is wrong to steal, but she does not truly want to return the dress. To take the blame off herself she makes up the excuse
Whether Catherine's behaviour in these chapters can be viewed as anything but disgusting is highly subjective, as 'disgust' is perhaps too harsh. In my opinion the better fitted word would be disappointed, however Catherine's demanding behaviour towards Nelly is that of disrespectful and this in turn can be interpreted as a disgusting behaviour. In chapter 9 Catherine tells Nelly that she has "accepted" Edgar Linton as her future husband. Nelly is quite interrogative at the revelation and questions Catherine on her choice, only to get back dismissive and pompous answers. Catherine's behaviour here is quite appalling, she uses imperatives: "be quick, and tell me I am wrong", and has an overly assertive tone: "you're silly, Nelly".
When she speaks about Marianne, she says, "She was generous, amiable, interesting: she was everything but prudent." Austen weights the first half with pleasing commentary and gently undercuts it in the second. Compare this with her biting description of Mrs. Ferrars: "She was not a woman of many words; for, unlike people in general, she proportioned them to the number of her ideas." Austen begins innocently enough, but the conclusion of that sentence bitterly reveals to us the impression she wishes us to have. Reflection is necessary, for we must see the sentence as a whole.
The peevishness and irritable mood come off as a sense of anger to get us to feel sympathy for Premila and Santha. Analyzing the story helps us understand the author’s word choice for the discrimination of the Indian culture. In a sarcastic voice, “Oh my dears, those are much too hard for me. Suppose we give you pretty English names. Wouldn’t that be much more jolly?” (Rama Rau 114).
Hemi hits koro and is sent away and gives pai a few tips witch he has learnt. Koro is angered by this. This dialogue shows pai is willing to do anything to show leadership skills to koro. The close up techniques of the camera films directly on the parts witch hemi has taught pai. In my opinion I think koro is neglecting by not showing his faith in her or he just having trust issues.
As the man continued on, Jig entertained his ideas. It is clear to the reader through her responses she does not want the operation whatever it may be, saying “Then I’ll do it. I don’t care about me” (280). This response solidifies to the reader that she is opposed to the operation, yet the man does not understand her objection. He continues to push the subject by coaxing her, saying “I’ll do anything for you” (281), trying to guilt her to his point of view.
If the audience was ever in doubt, they now realise that the outcome must be tragic. The hope and disappointment pattern of the previous scene is repeated but with more far-reaching implications: opportunities constantly arise for the whole problem to be cleared up satisfactorily, but these are always frustrated with ever more serious consequences. However, the opportunities are lost, not as a result of deliberate wickedness, but by accident. Thus, the act is indeed one of interruptions, of explanations tragically delayed. In the court Judge Danforth is trying to conduct an inquiry, but he is constantly distracted from one problem to another by chance.
o She does have plenty of flaws as noted above, most of which stem from her insecurity as a person. Her promiscuity comes from her insecurity, which stems from her fading looks, and the events following the discovery of her husband’s homosexuality. • The characters downfall should come from his/her faults, and not due to some supernatural occurrence. The tragedy is triggered due to some specific flaw known as hamartia: the tragic fault. o Blanche’s downfall is not like Oedipus’s where the reveal of one mistake causes him to become blackened.
The problem with my pseudo thinking is that when it comes time for me to have a response I have no clue what was said during the conversation because the only thing I focused on was the topic of discussion. My defensive listening has put me in bad situations with many people, mostly with my wife, I lash out at people because I feel threatened and with my lack of attention I miss parts of the conversation, and that makes it that much more like I am being attacked. Everyone can increase attention by realizing its importance, avoiding the common tendency to day dream, fighting the tendency to give in to
