The Corrupting Power of Women The portrayal of women in Of Mice and Men is limited and unflattering. We learn early on that Lennie and George are on the run from the previous ranch where they worked, due to encountering trouble there with a woman. Misunderstanding Lennie’s love of soft things, a woman accused him of rape for touching her dress. George berates Lennie for his behavior, but is convinced that women are always the cause of such trouble. Their enticing sexuality, he believes, tempts men to behave in ways they would otherwise not.
LOVE Nanny * She had all the love to support Janie, she didn’t like to see Janie sad and unhappy. * She wants to protect Janie from dating the wrong guys since she’s in her womanhood. * She wants a man that would treat Janie with respect and tell her about her love life. * She did her best on finding a man for Janie because she loves Janie and wants a man to treat her well. Logan * Janie didn’t really love Logan he treated her as if she was nothing by bossing her around all the time after he got sick of doing all the work.
When his wife Elizabeth Proctor was accused for witchery John knew he must do everything he could to prove to the court she wasn’t a witch and Abigail was lying. Although John wanted to do everything for his wife he was not ready to admit to the court what he had done instead he used Mary Warren. Mary Warren was a young lady who took Abigail’s job at the Proctor household and was also one of the girls who were lying about seeing people’s spirits in the court. “She never saw no spirits sir” John Proctor said to Danforth. (88) When Mary told him that she and the other girls were just pretending about seeing the spirits he is unsure if Mary is telling the truth.
Abigail was the kind of character that had a good mind but used it for the bad and not for the good. She is far superior to the other in the village intellectually and demonstrates this when she greedily persuades her fellow girlfriends to play along in her lies and hysteria. The lies about Elizabeth Proctor being a witch don’t pay off in the end because John Proctor testifies against her. This was something the he did not want to do because it made him look like he wasn’t the honest person everyone thought he was but he knew he had to do it for his and Elizabeth’s sake. Although John Proctor is executed, he went down knowing that he did what was right by choosing
The reader now thinks that Curley’s wife was misunderstood, lonely and didn’t deserve the abusive comments she received. Candy then says ‘you ain’t wanted here’ making the reader feel more apologetic towards her. Despite this she calls them ‘a bunch of bindle stiffs’ and claims that she is only there because ‘they ain’t nobody else’. She then turned on crooks ‘in scorn “listen nigger”’ this is very cruel and spiteful but maybe she was only retaliating. She also tries to ally with them when she says ‘I’d like to bust him myself’, she is referring to Curley and says how she also hates him too.
People who have been cheated on will start to feel sorry for Bundy because they know how it feels to have to catch the one you love in the compromising situation. She then goes into a spill on how the man must have never loved her at all. She cries out, “didn’t love me ain’t no fool”. This is very logical because any man who has ever really loved a woman could not bring himself to being unfaithful. She goes into a description of how love has let her down and she will not be strung along, this builds pathos and ethos because she gets herself out of the situation by leaving him.
Who weeps for these, weeps for corruption.” says Danforth to the crowd because John Proctor was standing up to him and he ripped up he confession and speaking of the truth. The vindictive trait that is present in McCarthy, who distorted evidence and manipulated people. An example of a person who was innocently accused is Rebecca Nurse from “The Crucible” who represents Lillian Hellmann. Rebecca was as woman with up holding morals, which is evident when she refused to confess the names of other “witches”. She does not want to get caught in a web of lies.
In Both texts, Nan Dear and Jess’ father experience discrimination and racism and that’s why barriers are put up, because they don’t want the protagonists to deal with the isolation and mistreatment. However, by doing this they’re putting up additional barriers to fitting in. In “Rainbows end” Nan Dear is always warning Dolly ““you watch who you’re mixing with. Hard to tell a good man from a bad. Bad one will promise you everything, then do the straight opposite just like that” we can tell that she is talking from experience and she says it how it
So if your husband did love you anymore I would go find someone else that will and give me the full attention that I deserve from the man. Why can a man cheat in the relationship and it be alright and the woman acts like they don’t see it. But when the woman is cheating in the relationship everyone knows and it is the worst thing in the world, the men don’t act like they don’t know. If the man is unfaithful not only is he making a woman unhappy, but she cannot even go find happiness with someone else because the guy will be a hypocrite about it. No woman wants to be cheated on after the man married her; these are not qualities that are looked for in an ideal man in
The way John creates a sudden fear in his wife which provokes her to startle and hide her journal speaks volumes of his influence over her life. Gilman’s use of symbolism first begins to take flight when the woman in her story suddenly begins to notice the wallpaper. It becomes evident only through her use of symbolism that controlling men trap women from all of their potential. The wallpaper in her story symbolizes women who have long been repressed by such men, and by society. Gilman demonstrates this very notion in the slightest ways, such as when the woman first describes the wallpaper as if it had been used by a room of boys: “The paint and paper look as if a boy’s school had used it.
