But at the end of the day I feel sorry for her and I tend to understand why she feels the way she dose! You can’t blame the girl, for feeling depressed, she lives on a ranch where she is the only girl, her husband sees her as an object that he owns and she has no one to turn or talk to. In the book most of the characters have a negative view of her and tend to see her as trouble, but when you think about it she has the potential to get them in a lot of trouble, and she does, she cause Curley to have a broken hand and she gets Lennie in trouble for killing her, Every time, she is present in the book, she is never in a positive mood, she is always sulking or looking for Curley, I don`t actually think that there is one time in the book were she seems happy and it is when she is flirting , and even then she just gets negative reactions back! To summaries , overall i think that she is a very negative person, who has no hope of
These women are both heading for disaster; they let these men treat them as they see fit and do not take Linda and Ophelia’s feelings into consideration. Linda is weak and dependent in the sense that she always wants or needs Willy around. She wants him to quit the travelling portion of his job and work in the city, “but your sixty years old, they can’t expect you to keep travelling every week”, (Act One, pg. 14), although she puts it across as she does not want him going because of his age deep down she really just cannot be on her own. Linda may come across as a strong woman who has her head on her shoulders but she is weak and needs to have someone, even if they treat her as poorly as Willy did.
She did not treat her other two children as kindly as she treated Timmie. Maggie’s father was also a smaller part because he died by chapter four also. Maggie knew only the life of her family where she was not loved and eventually grew ashamed of it. Mary has a strong reputation as a joke. She thinks she is a woman who it fulfilling her duties as a woman but she was not.
This cant be answered unless you know the events Janie had to overcome during her childhood. The movie does a great job of showing Janie's disgust for Logan Killicks. Although Janie has absolutely no interest in Logan, she ends up marrying him. There was no love in their relationship, the only reason Janie's nanny made her marry was because she was scared, scared that she would die and Janie would be left alone with nothing. Nanny wanted to feel like Janie was stable, so she could rest in peace.
Two characters that could be portrayed as victims of society are Curley’s wife from ‘’Of Mice and Men’’ and Eva Smith from ‘’An Inspector Calls’’. Both characters are really similar to each other; they are young and both wanting a better life. Eva Smith lost both parents and lost her last two jobs because her boss thrown her just because she argued for a bigger pay for the workers who puts in so much effort. Gerald helped her with everything but Gerald chose Sheila instead, because she was richer. Eva had no choice as she was pregnant and she couldn’t get a job so she killed herself in a dramatic way.
Both women went through horrible tragedies throughout their lives but in the end had the things they both wanted most. Mariam was born a harami, with no chance to be accepted in the world of Afghanistan. Her mother was mean to her, and her father only came to visit once a week and didn’t care much about her, he only cared for his reputation and didn’t want to tarnish his name. In this case from the beginning Mariam didn’t have a great chance to have a successful life but she would have been happy staying with her mother. The decision she made to leave her mother and go to Jalil was one decision that really harmed the course of her life.
At that moment she genuinely wishes she were born a son, which would have equipped her better in dealing with the challenges of her life. The words “Each disappointment, ice above my river” indicate that she is fully sapped of enthusiasm after those ‘perceived’ failings (750). She feels that she will never find success in school, and she is never able to please her parents. Perfection is something that we as humans often strive to achieve. Additionally, it is human nature to try to please those that we care about.
At the end due to the inability of Abby to succeed in her liberty, she witnesses lack of strength and the fear her mother has at the Blarney Stone. In Morrison’s Sula, the mother’s emotional and nurturing detachment from the daughters through generations helps all of them create a female-self identity. This lack of nurture may be a direct result of the maternal figure's focus on survival, as Eva can't take time to show love for her children but is able to sacrifice a leg to ensure physical endurance. In her mind these acts confess her love for them while in Hanna's head, the emotional connection that she needs from her mother is not present. As Hannah becomes a mother herself and a mother being the first model of love that the children experiences, she emotionally detaches herself from Sula as she was detached from her mother.
The repression of Edna’s own individual freedom led her to her own suicide. Sexism in a society was and still is a problem for all women today. This book sends out a message explaining social customs and moralities should not be forced upon others. Individuality is key in everyone, and no one should have to live by the rules set by a society. “The years that are gone have felt like a dream - I would rather wake up than remain a dupe to the illusions all one’s life.”(Primary-171).
Melinda thought there was something wrong with her, like she was useless. She had a lot of trouble making friends and when she did make a friend her depression drove them away. Melinda's depression even caused her to cut herself and contemplate committing suicide. Melinda's depression could have been avoided if she had learned to overcome her past earlier. Next, if you don't overcome your past, you will never be able to get on with your life.
