Countries revolt against their pernicious overseers; people rebel against theirs. Tita, after having been denied the freedom to express her love to Pedro, reconciled herself to playing with Roberto, Pedro’s son. But when even that was taken from her, she couldn’t just continue to comply with Mama Elena’s decisions and go back to work. For the first time, she refused to silently accept it. She screamed at Mama Elena that she is “sick of them [her orders]” and “sick of obeying you [Mama Elena]” (Esquivel 99).
Odysseus did not warn his men about Scylla because he was afraid they would abandon him, so he only uses his men to sail the ship, which shows that his own intentions are more important to him than the lives of his crewmen. Ulysses also only cared about his intentions and lied to Pete and Delmar about a treasure so they would escape with him. Both of them were brave and leaders in their group. But one thing Odysseus has that Ulysses didn’t have was a strong relationship with his wife. Penelope and Odysseus remained faithful to each other even though they were separated, and Penelope refused to re-marry.
She does not allow Tita to gain hope for Pedro Marquiz. The injustice of allowing Tita’s older sister, Rosaura, to marry Pedro in Tita’s place is one example of Mama Elena squashing Tita’s hopes of marrying Pedro.. Although Pedro pronounces his true intent and reaffirms his love for Tita, she is still a slave to her mother’s dictating family values. It is a constant war between Mama
d. Her father believed in her education because he believed she would actually find a husband. Since she came back home unmarried, he was disappointed. I feel that she would feel disappointed in the fact that he was ungrateful that she actually went out to get an education rather than look for someone to marry. 5. Why is her father’s reaction to her story the “most wonderful” (22) thing that happened to Cisneros that year?
Calpurnia’s dream was to have more influence on her husband decisions, but never once did her husband even listen to her. As Calpurina says “He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.” (1.2.24). Calpurnia is done trying to achieve her dream. There is no way to convince Julius Caesar. Ellwanger 2
Finally, Coontz brought forth if someone is not marrying for love but just for the status then what is the point of getting married. I do agree with her about this and also, the point about the media blowing the idea of happily ever after out of proportion by just believing that only true love will hold a marriage together that is false. True love can bring people together but would not keep them together, this is something that marriages cannot solely rely on it takes hard work and dedication to keep a marriage

Some might expect Don John to get his punishment after all the deception and lies. Additionally, Claudio agrees without questioning to marry Hero while she is masked and promise to marry her before being able to actually see if he is marrying Hero.

Beatrice defies gender standards and engages into a world dominated by men, however the ending and her agreed marriage to Benedick seems to suddenly make her silent. She does not utter a word, which is perhaps a symbolic element in the male dominance that existed in the marriage, as women did not have
After Rasheed saves Laila and him and Mariam nurse her back to health, he stops paying attention to Mariam. Mainly because Laila is much more beautiful and she is able to have a child. This upsets Mariam. “It’s not so much what he says, the blatant lies, the contrived empathy, or even the fact the he has not raised a hand to her, Mariam, since he had dug the girl out from under those bricks” (Hosseini 191). Rasheed would soon ask Laila to marry him and she would agree because now she believe that Tariq actually did die.
Jack wishes for Pam to marry a man who has a good head on his shoulders and who could financially provide for a family.
