Waters’ also uses two narrators which creates tension and builds the reader up to knowing the truth. Waters’ uses Gentleman to play a key role in the deception between Sue and Maud. “’Then I’ll take her unsuspecting to the madhouse gates’” Gentleman says this as a way to get Sue to play along, it is also foreshadowing that, in fact, it will be Sue entering the madhouse which means that she does not suspect her fate. The use of the adjective ‘unsuspecting’ suggests that they are going to trick her. We, as the reader, see this as unfair but they see it as normal as during the Victorian times, a husband could put their wife in a madhouse without question.
In this story Panttaja says it is both mothers that are wicked. Panttaja states the real mother “plots and schemes, and she wins” (Panttaja 660) when it comes to fulfilling the wishes of Ashputtle. But actually the two mothers have the same goal in mind; to have their daughters married off and have a joyful life. To be able to do this, the real mother puts a charm on the prince to make him fall in love with Ashputtle instead of anyone else. The prince did not dance with anyone else all night and would always say “she is my partner” (Grimm 630).
Romm concluded that even though Agrippina may have been manipulative and ambitious she was still able to achieve what women of the era could not. The write Cat Pierro’s argues that Agrippina the Younger’s life is one that is full of mistakes, the largest of which was giving birth Nero. Pierro interpretation of Agrippina is that she was an Austere , arrogant woman that would use her sexuality to gain power. She was jealous of any woman that tried to become close to her husband and then her son, even going as so far to order the execution of a women that her husband Claudius complimented. Eventually she vilified herself enough to turn herself not only to turn her son against her but most of the court as well.
In Act 3 Scene 2, Don John enters Leonato’s house and says to Claudio “I came hither to tell you, and circumstances shortened the lady is disloyal.” Don John is presented as a ‘deceiver’ in this scene by his actions, creating uproar between the couple. The ways in which Shakespeare presents men’s attitudes to women are not used for comical purposes in this scene. This scene presents women to be promiscuous and untrustworthy characters. Also, the fact that Claudio believes Don John and assumes that the woman committing adultery is Hero portrays

The vocal opinions of the child shocked the headmistress which engages the audience to the edge of the seat.

Didn’t he?” (ALP) is a film that truly absorbs the audience with the authentic characters and scenery that tells a story of its own.
V for Vendetta – director James McTeigue Evey Hammond is introduced in the film as a young woman who works at British Television Network (BTN). She is believed to be a coward and a slightly naive, good citizen whose self-applied blinders are forced off, sometimes brutally, by government agents and V's scheming. Evey’s character makes little sense. Her manner, attitude, and bearing are initially of an unharmed, innocent young woman who expects good from the world, but she is introduced as she is leaving for a sexual encounter with a celebrity, presumably for professional advancement, and we later find out her parents were murdered by the government for their resistance. Evey is simultaneously hardened, dependent and risk-taking, naïve and educated, all in a way that is not so much complex as confused because none of these characteristics can be successfully integrated into a single personality.
In Pitch Perfect, the comedy just keeps unraveling through every high note and low belt. Having a wedding could be the most stressful time in a woman’s life, even if it’s not your wedding, and you were the maid of honor, it can really take a toll on your life. In Bridesmaids, we catch a glimpse of the traditional American wedding with a comedic twist that can have any bridezilla laughing. We enjoy comedic movies about everyday life because they make us feel better about our own lives. Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids, and Easy A, all feature a strong female lead.
Or is she simply playing the role and dumbing herself down purposefully as women throughout history (and even currently) have done to appease her man? If Eve really was the weaker sex why did God make Eve so powerful and give her the ability to ruin it for all of mankind? Eve is portrayed as meek and oblivious. When we are first introduced to her we are told, “Not equal, as their sex not equal seemed” (Book 4, 296). Milton lets us know from the very start that she is not equal to Adam.
What insights does Sheridan offer into human nature? [500] Sheridan offers a number of insights into human nature throughout his play The Rivals. One key characteristic of humanity that Sheridan continually exposes in the play is that of deceit. With the exception of Julia, each of the characters in The Rivals practices artifice, or lying, to get what he or she wants from the other characters. Beginning with David's wig, his vain attempt to pass as a member of a higher society that has already dropped the wig from fashionable dress, and ending with Faulkland's last attempt to trick Julia into admitting base motives for loving him, no one willingly presents things as they really are.
