/ Commend me to my kind lord. O, farewell” (Act 5, Scene 2).Her love and incorruptibility is shown in her willingness to take credit for her own murder, thus never blaming her husband for his deed. 2) Emilia marriage to Iago is a complete contrast to Desdemona and thus they both develop a sisterhood borne out of the troubles with their own marriages. Emilia is more cynical and bitter in terms at looking at love in general, she is aware of her husband’s lust for power and sees and lives with his misogynic treatment of her and women, yet is perfectly willing to please him by gratifying his hunger for power, giving him the final weapon for his revenge. However, after Desdemona’s murder, she proves to be a key figure in
He believed every lady loved him, which shows he is not shy when it comes to sharing his thoughts. However, not all the ladies love him, he just thinks too much of himself. Benedick also assumes that he is too good for anyone and there is no lady good for him, and therefore he cannot have any lady, and says he never will. It also demonstrates that Beatrice and Benedick have a fiery relationship based on the childish bickery. Shakespeare portrays a rude and independent character of Benedick.
This is odd as the object of her affections is her husband,whom has no feelings towards her. He is undeserving of her love,as Emilia could be offering all this love to one whom actually deserves it. This is a good character trait in Emilia. Due to her not getting the love she wants from husband, she develops the belief that women should be able cheat on there husbands. Subsequently they had a rocky relationship,even though
She married for love, and the love turned to dust. She had bonny children, yet she felt they had been thrust upon her, and she could not love them.” Even though she has everything she needs, a stable family and enough money to support her needs, she still wants more. She says that she is “very unlucky” because she “married an unlucky husband”. Instead of taking the responsibility upon herself that she is unlucky and does not have everything she wants, she blames others for her lack of happiness. In the end she turns out to be the luckiest character in the story because with Paul’s luck she gains all of the money he won.
We also find out in chapter one that she wants her daughter to be a “beautiful little fool” cause according to her that’s the only thing a female can actually be, just look beautiful and be a ‘little fool’ not be smart on an intellectual level. Her face was described as sad yet “full of bright little things” which leads me to my next point which is her relationship with her husband, the only reason why she married Tom was because he’s a bourgeoisie and he is well known and as she said “rich girls can’t marry poor boys” this quote emphasises her materialistic
Hero’s own father says “Death is the fairest cover for her shame” (IV i 122). He would rather see her dead than to have a daughter without honor. But Beatrice does not wish or hope for death on her cousin. She wants revenge on the man who took away Hero’s honor. Beatrice asks Benedick to kill Claudio for her.
The character of Isobel in “Precious,” by Nalo Hopkinson, loses her voice, one of the most valuable treasures in her life, because she never stood up for herself. Her marriage with her husband becomes a failure due to the fact that she permits herself to be his object of abuse for sex and wealth. However, the protagonist in “Jonnieruth” by Becky
This shows that she is only with him for his money and power. When Daisy gave birth to Pammy she said “I’m glad it’s a girl. And I hope she’ll be a fool-that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”(Fitzgerald 21).She implies here that the world is no place for a woman and all she can do is hope to survive through beauty rather than brains. However during the reunion Gatsby is still blinded by his dream. Even though Daisy isn’t the same as he remembers.
The parallel can be easily drawn between Lear and Gloucester. When dividing the kingdom, Lear gives all the authority to Goneril and Regan only because they flatter Lear with overblown words of "love"; and he disowns Cordelia for she can't express enough "love" for him. This action of Lear's shows his inability to distinguish true love with insincere praises that are made to obtain power. He should have more common sense that Cordelia, being his favorite daughter, loves him the most; but the fear of being abandoned and absolute powerless as an old man after retirement makes him request the prove of love and need to reassure his importance. However, as soon as Goneril and Regan are declared power, they begin scheming to take all Lear's authority away and leave him with "the infirmity of age"(I,i,296).
Antigone would selflessly die for her brother’s proper burial and freedom in the afterlife because she values her family more than anything on this earth. She would die a noble death for her brother who deserves respect. Her family has been through so much with all the problems her father Oedipus has caused that she can’t let another event tarnish the family name further. She has no fear when it comes to death or the repercussions of her actions. Antigone lashes out at Creon and states, “I did not believe your proclamation had such power to enable one who will someday die to override God's ordinances, unwritten and secure" (Sophocles 1204).
