It is not an oversight that Curley’s wife, although a relatively minor character, was left nameless in Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. She is not in the story as someone to relate to, and by giving her a name, it would bring more similarity to the reader. Her status also has to do with this. She is not regarded as anything significant, therefore she does not need a name. Steinbeck leaves her unnamed so she lacks something that makes her appear as an equal individual.
She knew this about herself and was highly criticized for it. This means that she failed to be objective in several instances.A few good poems to use to capture her struggle with relationships might be these: "Mirror","By Candlelight" ,"Mary's Song". "Daddy" by Sylvia Plath is by right considered a magnificent poem about daughter's relationship with a father. Also it can also be read as an allegory of female yielding and final revolt in a men's world who have been responsible for all the disasters and wars
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.
It is these women who Goodlad asserts Don holds in high regard even though misogynistic undertones are prevalent in the office and the era. Next she introduces a collection of poems, Meditations in an Emergency by Frank O’hara, a major plot point in the third season that conveys Don’s existential crisis and shows him longing for a life that never could have been. The essay then culminates with her discussing that the reason audiences love Mad Men is because it is a vast piece of dramatic irony that causes self introspection into ones own life. Just
Female empowerment through a male fantasy Whether or not it is spoken of around campfires, or sung in ballads of brave deeds, at one time or another man’s fantasies turn to his desire to be controlled, even dominated, by the female. Marie de France exhibits this longing in her epic lay entitled Lanval. The author does not stop there; just as there are always dualities in the universe Marie de France provides a view of women’s desire to be in charge of her own sexuality and through manipulation, the man of her choosing. Through willful desire and cunning exploitation, both female characters in Lanval, Guinevere and the Fairy, attempt to satisfy this shared inner desire, as well as controlling their respective immediate worlds. Though not so different from one another- they are both beautiful, and powerful- only one will ultimately fulfill her every ambition, and have forever Lanval, the object of her aspiration, and one man’s fantasy is played out.
Sentences ans sections of poems are repeated which gives the impression of Hinley slowly losing her mind throughout the poem. Duffy uses language very effectively, in parts of the poem almost creating a sense of sympathy for Hinley at the same time as making her seem evil. When reading the poem Duffy’s opinion of Hinley is hard to understand. She seems to sympathies with Hinley in some areas of the poem however in other areas the poem emphasises how evil Hinley is. During the first stanza Duffy creates the impression that anyone could become a murderer and this creates the impression that she seems interested in Hinley especially since it is stereotypically men who commit crimes like the Moors Murders .
Hester Prynne: A Casualty in her own Erotic War. In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne’s depiction of Hester Prynne’s inner turmoil can be viewed and deliberated on in numerous ways. As the reader myself, Hester’s inner turmoil is given off as that when she is denying her secret of Dimmesdale being her lover, she wishes she could deny that anything between them ever happened. Whenever Hester would think about her sin of adultery, Hester would in turn feel sick to her stomach. To me it looks as though Hester believes that Dimmesdale and herself could be together, but will not be able to on this earth before they die.
The composition is about two sisters 'one who falls and the other who saves'[2]. Laura becomes addicted to some poisoned fruits offered by obscure creatures, the goblins, and soon she will get sick and hopeless about her future. Lizzie, her sister, deceiving the evil supernatural beings will redeem her. It's very important for us to know something about Rossetti's background before talking about different interpretations of her work. First of all we need to consider the debate about religious practice and the importance of religion for Christina: 'Religion played a major role in the formation of Rossetti as an individual, and it is oftentimes reflected in her poetry.
She ends line ten with “moaning for release,” the word moaning would be seen as a physical expression of intense sexual pleasure in today's world but this connotation would be seen oppositely; where as in this case the victim is in agonizing pain. The previous line is stapled with “pinned down by pain”, so the use of moaning could have been intentional for the sexual reference or it could also be seen as being obligated to be tied to this love. Given all these obstacles of life and its natural course of love, heartache and suffering, she will not leave her love for anything. Summarizing it briefly would be love is a powerful nature, even though it does not provide us food and water on the table or the comfort of our homes we will give it all up in the name of
With the author’s specific use of diction, structure, parallelism, irony, and symbolism, the poem emerges into a metaphorical tale about the coldness and negligence, rather than sympathy and consolation, many people display during a great misfortune. BODY Diction and structure are the foundation of any literary work. To begin with, Parker uses words like “them” and “they” in her poem rather than more specific and definitive names. This word choice creates a mysterious atmosphere and raises the question: Who are “they” and “them”? The diction the Diction and structure 1 HOLT, RINEHART AND WINSTON Analyzing a Poem writer uses leaves the perpetrators nameless.
