Ismene wants to keep this between her and Antigone only as to not risk Antigone’s life. Ismene is tied between family and state, whereas Antigone is completely for family before state. Antigone becomes furious when Ismene thinks that they should keep it between themselves, Antigone wants her to scream it from the rooftops who had buried Polynices. This shows that Antigone is more confident with her decision and is clearly the braver one of the two sisters. While playing Antigone I tried to give her a little more attitude than Ismene.
She has never expressed regret for her decision, but it is a real life example of what society expected of women during that time period. I would like to think that I would identify with Katherine if I lived during that era, but who knows what society would have influenced me to believe. I am very grateful that expectations for women have changed so dramatically in the last sixty years. 2. What were the issues and challenges faced by the main characters regarding the choices they had to make regarding college education, marriage, relationships, and family?
We can maybe squeeze in a hundred miles ‘fore we stop.” Ma stepped in front of him. “I ain’t a-gonna go” This shows that when people are taken out of society’s view they will assume their natural position in life. When push came to shove Ma Joad took control of the situation and of the family, and Pa Joad didn’t know how to function outside of his normal position. Ma Joad’s decision to stay ended up being the right decision, she had the qualities to be the leader the whole time but settled for the “rock” of the family. Even though the idea of a female leader isn’t scarce, the idea of a male leader is more favorable and prominent amongst society.

Mama and Maggie's connections to their heritage comes from their memories, not their race so they're confused about Dee's new image. Each of them values their possessions for different reasons because of their differing viewpoints. Mama has strong family ties and views family as important. She believes that her heritage is something to be cherished. One can see this in the way she handles the situation with her daughter Dee.
Whereas, the couples must love each other unconditionally and decide on choosing each other without the input of anyone else but themselves, it is assumed that “married couples should be best friends, sharing their most intimate feelings and secrets. They should express affection openly but also talk candidly about problems. And of course they should be sexually faithful to each other.” (Coontz 381) In my opinion, I do not agree with Stephanie Coontz saying George Shaw theory of marriage has unrealistic expectations even though each culture has their own interpretation of marriage. No matter what each culture is different, if they believe that having more than one wife or having cospouses it is their choice and some will stay true to the values they were raised on. Finally, Coontz brought forth if someone is not marrying for love but just for the status then what is the point of getting married.
For instance, the father was attempting to arrange the marriage of his daughter Mariane to Tartuffe. This was accepted in the 1600s as the norm, but today women have freedom to marry who they wish despite what their parents would rather have happen. It is similar to today’s culture in America because it shows that the man of the house, Orgon has all the authority over every decision made in the house. He did not even tell his wife, or anybody else for that matter, that he was going to make Tartuffe the sole heir to everything he owns. Although the man of the house today does not usually have quite that much power over the family, it is still known that the man will make most, if not all of the bigger decisions in the house.
Therefore, people just take the marriage like a set of duties and obligations. Both the bride and groom have certain responsibilities, the biggest duty is to have children and raise them according to society’s customs and religious teachings. For this reason, both parties are very careful about what they say or do and no one wants to be blamed for the failure of the marriage. In fact, to end a marriage would result in disgrace and excommunication from your family. In “Romeo and Juliet”, Juliet’s father, “Lord Capulet”, threatens Juliet by saying “An you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend; a you be not, hang, beg, die, starve in the streets, for by my soul, I’ll never acknowledge thee, nor what is mine shall never do thee good.
I don't see why they should have to leave the state that they are in just to go to a different state the recognizes legal marriages between the same sex. They are not hurting anyone by marrying someone of the same sex. They have the right to marry just as a man and woman do. As I stated before god would want us all to be happy and be able to live life. Everyone breaks the laws of the bible at some point you are suppose to love honor and obey the one you marry until death do you part but a lot of people break that rule and get divorced.
