The insertion of Gemma’s version of Briar Rose throughout “home” emphasise that this story was of great significance to her life. The dialogue in which Gemma tells the story is constantly interrupted as the girls attempt to help her tell the tale. “Which is all times”. This reveals their familiarity with the story, and their love if it. It has bonded them, as Becca proves when she kisses Gemma as the Prince kissed the princess in the tale.

That a woman’s main priority should be to serve her man, is a very common ideology among Latina women of older generations. A lot of the time, the younger generations are pressured to think the same and are seen as defiant if they do not. For example, in the film Real Women Have Curves, Ana’s mother constantly nags to her about losing weight so she can attract a man to settle down with, marry him and have children. That is Carmen’s main goal, to make sure her daughters get married and start a family before she passes away. Even in the play she tells Ana, “At this age young girls should try to make themselves as attractive as possible” and when Ana questions why she does not do the same, Carmen replies because she is “already married” (López 58).
The soap opera’s producer tells Michael/Dorothy “You are a breakthrough lady for us, Dorothy. You’re your own person” (Ballon 62). Even though Dorothy seems to have a strong woman character, he seems to victimize women as well.

Only when Dorothy appears, does the breakthrough occur, meaning that it is male-initiated.

Margaret Macomber’s love for her husband is debatable at best. She seems much more interested in flirting with their guide, Robert Wilson, than in encouraging her husband. In fact, she is brazen and unabashed about her sexual dalliance with Wilson and taunts her husband with it. Hemingway writes that she is “an extremely handsome and well-kept woman.” The phrase “well-kept” is particularly revealing in its multiple meanings. On one hand, Margot is fashionable and presents herself well.
The Theme of Conformity In The Great Gatsby by, F. Scott Fitzgerald, conformity is brought on by Daisy. In those days, men were still seen as superior to women. She mentioned that she felt it was better to be a beautiful fool and get the man with all the wealth, then to be intelligent. She pretends to be a picture perfect wife even when she is completely unhappy with her life and ends up forgetting whom she really was before, therefore conforming to society.

Also shown by the poor car mechanic husband of Myrtle being happily married and in love with his woman while the rich Tom comes around to woo his wife away secretly on her desire for a more financially stable and available man in her life. As far as the dialog of the film, all these aspects and facets of the story are interwoven into a mosaic of torment and tragedy while using many of the exact words from the book and implementing language and ideas or opinions out of the characters mouths that seem true to the established backdrop of time during the romantic and insatiable Roaring
