Somehow caught in a never ending battle of how to survive. For April Raintree, her battle was both hiding and finding her identity- spiritually, emotionally and physically. Even though April Raintree had so many defining moments in her life, the three main factors that shaped her identity was living with the DeRosier’s, the rape, and the death of her sister. When April Raintree was living with the DeRosier’s, they changed her identity drastically. By living with the DeRosier’s April was taught to hate her people, her family, but she also learned to stay strong.
Mrs Linde has had to work hard and was not afforded love and children which she longed to have. She took care of her mother and brother as her own but still desired more. Once her circumstances had changed she set out to acquire that which she had lost. When Mrs Linde is introduced in Act I, we can immediately see she is a woman who has been through a harder time and worked hard to have a meekly accommodating life. She is more insightful of her surrounding than Nora Helmer.
The gesture also inspires Edna to speak openly and freely and by doing so Edna feels intoxicated as if she tasted “the first breath of freedom” [VII Chopin]. Madame Ratignolle’s sympathy gives Edna the courage to say what is on her mind without censoring, an exercise that helps her outward existence and inward life to correspond. To Edna, Madame Ratignolle is an embodiment of the mother woman, and through her presence Edna realizes that she is not like her, and that she does not want to devote herself to her husband and children, she would rather have some space and freedom for herself to pursue her interests. Thus Edna realizes that she is not and does not want to be a mother woman. This realization helps Edna further understand herself and she gradually starts neglecting her marital obligations in action rather than only questioning them in her head.
This influenced her greatly and got her started on a bad track in life. She made bad choices and could of made better choices by moving with her parents or staying at a steady job where she wasn’t selling herself for money. The fact that she was colored
Not only, did she help me with my studies, but ensured that I did not fall behind in school. As we grew older, Candice became my pillar of strength, in some of my most distressing periods. I have seen her, over the years, help several people in her spare time, and she always has a keen interest in doing something for the community and giving back. I am aware that Candice is being tried because she has uncertainly broken the law, but I believe--if true--it could only be due to bad influence. I strongly feel it would better serve the community, and Candice, that she not be sent to prison.
The main character’s Handmaid name is Offred, meaning that she is property of Fred. This is how Handmaids are referred to in the Gileadean society. Their original names are not used, and through this manner, the Handmaids are stripped of their identities due to the regulations of their society. Handmaids must successfully produce a baby with their Commander and will be promised that they will be allowed to serve until their term is over. However, if the Handmaid has not had a child after three Commander reassignments, she is sent to the Colonies or given a death sentence.
In the novel, Hester likes to help out others as in serving the poor and giving them clothing. To me she takes a lot of time tending to other people and never has time to think about herself. She is stuck in a "hole" that she cant get out of because of the harsh behavior she has gone thorough, especially with her fathers sexism. And to think all of these characteristics play in to what kind of person she is, she has become, and who she will be. Another important character is Arthur Dimmesdale.
Women have involuntarily accepted themselves as the weaker sex, and conform to what is expected from society of them rather than what they desire from themselves. The society in ‘Chronicle’ has normalized a bigoted attitude which leads the women to innately accept the values of the society as their own and they go by them which is seen through Pura Vicario ‘devoted herself with such spirit of sacrifice to the care of her husband and the rearing of her children that at times one forgot she still existed’. This also explains why Angela’s friends helped her to hide the loss of her purity: it was society’s and the religion’s belief that women had to remain pure until. Thus, Angela’s action was shameful and therefore had to be hidden. On the other hand, men are expected to display machismo.
Nora loved her children, it was clearly shown when she played hide and seek with them merrily, and that is why she left them. She did not want to poison them as she said in the play, because she is a liar and hypocrite. She did not want the children to be mistakenly led by her. Moreover she wanted the children to be as free as she was when she left the house, and she knew that the nanny, Anne-Marie, would take care of them. Nora is the most admirable character in the whole play.
Also Denise sees this situation not as a promotion but a way to slow down or stop her career development. Her perception on this new promotion is also caused by Denise’s past experience with her previous employer who saw women in technical support positions. She perceived Nupath was “following the same game plan”, as her previous employer. Also because Denise sees that she in one of the only women at
