characters than she does in her own family. The reasons for Ida’s behavior lay in her damaged experiences with love. The most prominent damages came from her family, especially her Aunt Clara. “I’m a woman who’s lived for fifty-seven years and worn resentment like a medicine charm for forty” (Dorris 297.) This is the opening sentence in Aunt Ida’s narrative.
Introduction 'What techniques are used by Charlotte Bronte create sympathy for Jane Eyre in chapters 1-5' The novel 'Jane Eyre' written by the famous author Charlotte Bronte, portrays a story of a young orphan by the name of Jane who has to live with her cruel aunt Mrs Reed and cousins at Gateshead Manor, where Jane is continually and abused until she moves away to Lowood school and eventually finds happiness there. Bronte uses various techniques to create sympathy for Jane including: pathetic phallacy, symbolism, animal imagery, characterisation and language and structure. Charlotte Bronte uses pathetic phallacy as one of her main techniques that she uses to create sympathy for Jane. She uses the created setting to suggest that the weather could possibly reflect Jane's state of mind. The type of weather really indicates and also allows us access to Jane's thoughts and feelings 'The cold winter wind had bought with it clouds so sombre and a rain so penetrating'.
This situation in her life makes her look down on herself and results to changing her name from Joy to Hulga, which according to her mother is an ugly name. She also comes off as someone who is naïve, rude and lacks respect. Her mother on the other hand is very patient kind and has a heart to help people hence the name Mrs. Hopewell. Mrs. Hopewell is able to withstand the constant visits from Mrs. Freeman who like her name goes by is very loose with her mouth, always talking about the shortfalls of her sick daughter, Carramae (193). Mrs. Hopewell comes off as a model character that the author uses to demonstrate ‘good country people’.
How does Martin portray the character of Manon and her attitudes up until the time of her Mother’s death? In the opening pages, Manon repeatedly refers to her husband as “him”, which is shown in the 3rd person pronoun which gives the impression that he has no respect and she has no respect for him, therefore he has not been given a name. This shows that Manon has a negative attitude towards her husband as she believes he does not deserve a name as he is unworthy due to the treatment he has given Manon. As a result, this leads people to believe that there is no love between Manon and her husband because if he was given a name it would show a loving connection. Therefore, I believe Manon hates her husband.
Due to Mrs. Reed’s late husband and Jane’s uncle’s dying wish, Jane was to live with the Reeds with Mrs. Reed treating her as one of her own children. Yet Mrs. Reed and her children, especially John who Jane often calls a “…wicked cruel boy!”(Bronte 5) treat her unfairly because she is not of gentleman status. While reading, I was reminded of the feeling I had while in all my Pre-Ap classes. Overall, part one of Jane’s life is really interesting. In the beginning when Jane is being punished for lashing out at John by being sent to the Red Room, one wonders why send her there?

Shakespeare presents the relationship between Hamlet and his mother the fact that Gertrude has no control over her son, Hamlet also shows no respect for his mother and he seems very angry and disgusted with her in the way she has acted since his father’s death. Lastly, Hamlet’s mother seems not to understand the change in Hamlet’s attitude recently. Gertrude’s lack of control over Hamlet is expressed through the term of address, “Sweet Hamlet”, as the adjective ‘sweet’ shows care and affection towards her son like she is trying to remind Hamlet of the past relationship they once had in the past. This term of address also has connotations of childhood as it feels like this may have been what Gertrude called her son when he was younger and this is reminding Hamlet that he is still her child and she is still his mother. This is a way that Gertrude is trying to take back control by putting Hamlet in his place and trying to make him remember who he is talking to.
When Mr. Hale talks about how Minnie acted when he discovered her husband, is when we begin to feel pity for her. She shows no emotion, which we can guess means that she was not very happy with her husband. The women also pity Minnie because of how the men just barge into her home and criticize how untidy things are. The County Attorney expresses his opinion “No -- it’s not cheerful. I shouldn’t say she had the homemaking instinct” (Page 901).
This is portrayed clearly in all three of the novels. In Harriet the Spy, In Matilda, neglect from her parents stems from pure greed, allowing them to overlook the briliance of their young daughter. This is a clear point made in the story, emphasized by the author's introduction of the parents when he says "Occasionally one comes across parents... who show no interest at all in their children... the parents looked upon Matilda in particular as nothing more than a scab" (6). He also mentions how parents who neglect their kids in such a way are "far worse than the doting ones" (6). As the author mentions, the parent's neglect for their daughter stems from pure greed.

She says, “I am afraid she may think of some dreadful thing, for her heart is violent. She will never put up with the treatment she is getting.” (2). If the nurse, who is simply the caretaker of the children, knows of this aspect of Medea’s character, then
