The tone that she uses in her piece seems to be sarcasm and this sarcasm is what leads me to the assumptions I make and the way I read her essay. She obviously wants to go to school and become economically independent and be able to support herself. I think that she is not happy with her current situation of being a mom and a wife and feels unappreciated. She stays home and does all the things she lists for her husband, but she resents this role in society that she is in. I assume that she wants a divorce from her husband but because of the role that society has placed on her, but she is unable to get one because she is very dependent on him.
Her mother also told her this advice because she has to get married but she is rejecting every guy and is always complaining about it. She only sees whats bad in people and doesn't see the positive things about a person. What is she supposed to learn from this advice? On the 22nd of February Madame Johanna told Birdy, “ I am a women and a cousin to the king. Do you truly think I could be a horse trainer or a puppeteer or even be friends with a goat boy?
Through the course of the novel it is clearly made evident that by the end of one’s life knowledge is paramount. Daisy suggests her daughter should follow in her footsteps, "And I hope she'll be a fool --that's the best thing a girl can be in this world today, a beautiful little fool"(24), implying that ignorance is a priority in her life. She also boasts her party life and parades her daughter about, indicating that material things dominate her life. Daisy also marries for wealth, not love, contributing to her total unhappiness. As Daisy patronizes ignorance, it leads to her demise.
The information stated above is relevant and supports my essay because in the novel I am reading, Janie is forced to marry a man at an extremely young age. Janies Nanny is one to blame, as she is forcing this upon young Jamie because her mother (Leaft) was not successful and disappointed her loved ones, and the Nannie thinks she is doing her good, setting her up for a happy life. Woman in Jainie's day were expected to act a certain way, and were thus not treated
Yousef. N Mr. Thomas ENG4U1 March, 25, 2013 A Women’s life, from a Feminist Approach, “The Painted Door” In the story by Sinclair Ross “The Painted Door” the main character, Anne, represents a weak, unhappy, selfish and insecure woman who is not pleased with her husband’s life choices. Employing the Feminist approach to “The Painted Door” reveals striking aspects that would otherwise be imperceptible. In society, often times a woman is shown as a person who is incapable of being alone; she will always need someone with her too keep her satisfied. Firstly, one can see this when it shows how Anne feels about being alone and what she does to make sure she is not alone for the night.
Mrs Linde has had to work hard and was not afforded love and children which she longed to have. She took care of her mother and brother as her own but still desired more. Once her circumstances had changed she set out to acquire that which she had lost. When Mrs Linde is introduced in Act I, we can immediately see she is a woman who has been through a harder time and worked hard to have a meekly accommodating life. She is more insightful of her surrounding than Nora Helmer.
By using her emotion she touches bases with the reader. Making ideas that are a harsh reality actually thought about and reasoned with. Being that she is a mother as well as wife, she knows the strains society can put on a woman and how hard it is to juggle everything that a wife must get 1 done in order to please her husband. This is where the tool ethos comes into play as she writes, “I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am A Wife.
Curley’s wife essay Curley’s wife is a character of wide complex and diversity. Her role slowly unwinds and develops throughout the course of the novel, constantly changing the reader’s opinion of her due to her ambiguous characteristics. We see through the novel that in 1930’s America women were generally treated with contempt through the course of the novel and as a general theme. Steinbeck depicts females as ‘trouble makers’ who bring ruin on men; Curley’s wife who walks the ranch as a temptress, seems to be a prime example of this destructive tendency. Women were looked upon as inferior; and incapable of the skills men were, so a woman’s role was mainly housework and nothing with manual requirement.
This poem does not rhyme. Its syntax is short and abrupt. It begins by her stating her position as a woman; I’m “wife”-I’ve finished that. Dickinson then compares her role as a wife to that of a ruler by stating; “I’m Czar-I’m “Woman” now. In the end, Dickinson compares being a ruler, Czar, as comforting and being a wife as pain.
First examining marriage in Pride and Prejudice, the prime example of it in this novel is that surrounding the Bennett family who are not wealthy people, and there is nothing that Mrs Bennett wants more than to see her daughters get married to wealthy men. She presents this desperation at the very beginning of the book when she is eagerly mentioning the fact that Netherfield Park has been let, and she is said to be speaking “impatiently” when her husband does not return this eagerness. This is shown when she says “you do not know what I suffer”. This suffering may be as a result of her own marriage (which disappoints her) or the fact that she wants each of her five daughters to find wealthy husbands. She states in the first chapter that the “solace” of marriage is “visiting and news.” This explains why Mrs Bennett is so desperate for her husband to visit Bingley and find out more about him and to introduce him to their daughters.
