The two of them are the only remaining children of the Clutters still living at home. Many refer to her as ‘the town darling’. She is dating – and claims to be in love with – Bobby Rupp, the star of the high school basketball team. This is a point of disputation between Nancy and her father, who wishes she would break off the relationship, since Bobby is Catholic, and the Clutters are Methodist. Nancy spends her last day baking a cherry pie with her young neighbour, instructing another girl in music, and caring for her horse, Babe.
The Duke explained to his guest “she like whate’er / she looked on, and her looks went everywhere. (23-24. But what we shortly notice is he is revealing himself, knowingly or not as a forceful husband who regarded his beautiful wife as a simple object, a possession whose single mission was to please him. The Duchess; the late wife of the Duke, on the other hand was not aware of the implications of her conduct were displeasing him. Her actions were not intentional; she was simply trying to satisfy the Duke whatever which way she possibly could.
You are a great man.” Varinka kisses Byelinkov and is still happy that she can call herself his wife. Byelinkov is worried about the great deal of responsibility that comes with marrage, he does not think that he can provide her with all the things she needs. Varinka is not worried about that she is like a kid that has a favorite toy, she does not care if it is broken or dirty she just knows that she has a connection with it, and it is her best friend. In this situation Byelinkov is scared he cannot push through that so he
Romantic love is a form of deception for couples. The easiest way to love someone is when there is no doubt that the person in question is not lazy, and can financially provide for every need and most wants. My mom has a friend, Maggie. Maggie told her when she went to college that if she wanted to live a good life, a life of privilege and a life with financial security, that she should find a man majoring in something that would earn him a nice salary. When my mom’s friend would go to a party, she would question a guy of his future career plan.
At this point, I was sure it was Della that worshipped her husband and he was not so devoted to his wife. It turned out Jim had sold his watch, of which he ‘‘took a mighty pride over’’ (p.2). It was then I realised the love they each shared for one another. Jim sold his prize possession to have enough money to buy Della the combs ‘‘her heart had had simply craved and yearned over without the least hope of possession’’ (p.4). This is why I particularly enjoyed and took pleasure this moving story.
By the end of this play, we see how Nora’s secret changes the relationship between the couple, as she violates the stereotypical role-play as a wife and mother in her era, which generates her inspirational growth. Nora, the main character, was first introduced as a very sheltered, immature, and optimistic woman. Helmer we see as proud of his male role in society and in the household, father-like towards his wife, and greatly cares for his appearance in others eyes. When speaking to each other, Helmer communicates to Nora as if she was his child instead of his wife. He does this by things such as calling her nicknames with negative characteristics, such as his little lark, spendthrift and featherhead.
Although it may not be a common experience, the story is still effective to the reader. “The Chrysanthemums,” is a perfect example of a short story that exhibits this quality of being a “just representation of general nature.” The main character Elisa Allen struggles with herself to become something more than her current life. During the time period of when this story was written, marriage limited a women’s potential far more than in today’s society. When a traveling salesman came to her home, she asked about his life and responded by saying, “It must be very nice. I wish women could do such things.” (Steinbeck 231) Elisa wants excitement and adventure in her life; she wants to feel important in the world.
Thus, the thoughts and behaviors of both Ms. Loisel and Ms. Mallard should not be surprising considering the era in which these stories were written. Nineteenth Century Women: Trapped, Limited and Restricted The idea that marriage is governed by male perennial authority that is better, simply because they define an unchanging aspect of society, is a consistent theme often hidden throughout each story. In “The Necklace”, Monsieur Loisel makes it his obligation to make his wife happy. The reader is first introduced to him when he comes home with an invitation to a grand social event and anticipates that this will please his wife. He continues this pattern when he acquiesces to her demand for a party dress that they cannot afford.
It is only when one hears pet names from someone one does not love that they are condescending, and until the climax of the play, Nora genuinely loves Torvald. We know this because she saves her husband’s life with a morally questionable act. This act may have ultimately led to the undoing of the marriage, but she does it “out of love” (209) nonetheless. Nora feels that Torvald has been kind to her, and she “thought it was fun when [Torvald] played with [her]” (249). And play they do.
