"What is Mr. Darcy to me, pray, that I should be afraid of him?" which causes Elizabeth great embarrassment in front of Mr Darcy and others shown by her response "blush and blush again with shame and vexation" demonstrating not only the embarrassment annoyance she feels towards Mrs Bennet also encourages Kitty and Lydia's bad behaviour and her attempts to push Elizabeth into an unwanted marriage with Mr. Collins which in consequence fails to cause a good result for herself or her daughters.
This enforces the idea that unlike Lennie, she is a complex character in the novel. Steinbeck mentioned that Curley’s wife’s voice had a “nasal, brittle quality” which is a clear sign of her flirtatious behaviour. Although her intentions were flirty, the fact that it was described as ‘nasal’ by the author made it obvious that it was unpleasant to the ears. The reaction from George made it clear to the reader that she was an attractive woman, however he was being apprehensive as he “looked away from her and then back”. This contrasts with Lennies reaction as his “eyes moved down over her body” blatantly checking her out.
A. Rose Miller Period 5 11/21/2012 Lady’s Dressing Room Essay “A Lady’s Dressing Room” and Montagu’s Response The poem, “A Lady’s Dressing Room” is of a crude sort of off-color humor. I find it repulsive, in-your-face, and indecent. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s response was certainly understandable. The many insults she wrote toward men were justified considering what Jonathan Swift had wrote about women.
However one could also argue that Larkin seems to justify violence against women by suggesting that access to women is something men have been unfairly deprived of. This becomes evident in the first stanza where Larkin presents the girl in ‘white satin’ suggesting her purity and virginity. One could disagree with this statement and interpret the de-feminizing of women differently. It could be suggested that Larkin combines masculinity and femininity together, ‘moustached lips’, to show his view that men and women should be viewed more equally in society. However I disagree with this alternative interpretation as I feel Larkin tries to portray the attacks ‘snaggle-toothed’ and boss-eyed’ are sadistic and grotesque but he does not disagree with
Prosecutor “You felt sorry for her? A white woman? You felt sorry for her?” (Lee,?) This quote is proving racial discrimination towards Tom Robinson. When Tom said that he felt sorry for Mayella it was wrong in their minds because he is an African American who should not feel bad for a white person whose class is higher.
Dolphus Raymond sees that Dill is crying and responds with ‘cry about the simple hell people give other people – without thinking. Cry about the hell white people give coloured folks, without stopping to think that they’re people too.’ The repetition of the word ‘cry’ gives the reader the impression that Dolphus Raymond is angry at the way in which white people treat the black community. His words also highlight the simplicity of the situation through his eyes, Dolphus Raymond also repeats the word ‘hell’ which leads Scout, Jem and Dill to consider how much a segregated
Literary Analysis In this passage of The Minister’s black veil we see how the veil, a symbol of hidden sin, isolates and alienates the once loved Minister. In this excerpt, his once fiancé, is trying to understand the purpose of the veil. She, like the other towns people, inherent nature to speculate the horrific sins that he may be confessing through this veil fails to realize her own sin. The sin of her and the town’s people is that they shun him, because of a simple veil, and in doing so demonstrate how shallow and unappreciative their faith is. Hawthorne uses characterization to victimize the minister and point out the flaws of the wife.
He described her scruffy, with straggly black hair, pretty is what he called her. This shows that he likes her. Alex attractiveness made Martyn even jealous of her boyfriend Dean. Martyn calls Dean a “pale white idiot. “ This quote shows that Martyn does not like Dean and does not like to see Dean and Alex together.
I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with those red lips. It is not good to note this down, lest some day is should meet Mina's eyes and cause her pain; but it is the truth.” (Stoker, 31 – 32) In the above passage, we are introduced to Dracula's brides. From the moment Jonathan Harker opens his eyes, he knows these women aren't human. He feels an instant fear and revulsion towards them, not knowing what they are. We can infer from his language that he feels a sexual attraction for them, one that he knows is wrong, since he's feeling remorse over hurting Mina, that he's in some way betraying her, though he doesn't say no, and seems unrepentant about his actions.
Extreme Dislike The words of English nineteenth century logician and philosopher Bertrand Russell are as apropos today as they were in days past: “HYPERLINK "http://thinkexist.com/quotation/few_people_can_be_happy_unless_they_hate_some/161824.html"Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation, or creed.” As contrary as this sounds, Americans must hate themselves to experience happiness. Dick Meyer (October, 31, 2006) supports this premise after providing several examples of what contemporary Americans abhor in an article entitled, “The last word why we hate us.” Hate and an extreme sense of dislike are almost identical terms. According to the author of this article, negativity of this nature, was evoked after seeing
