And then she was still, for Lennie had broken her neck”(100). And so, she was dead. Well, this quote “I don't like curley. He ain't a nice fella” clearly means that Curley was rude and not nice to his wife. She did not have a lot of privileges like she couldn’t talk to anyone else but Curley because Curley would get mad.

Though this should not be a characteristic of Mrs. Birling, it is. Working in a charity that aims to help women in trouble, Mrs. Birling met Eva in the final weeks of her life but after hearing her distressing story had little sympathy for the girl due to the fact she was under the false name of “Mrs. Birling”. This made her very angry and biased towards Eva and her case. Using her high social status Mrs. Birling made sure that the charity turned Eva away, which, as a consequence pushed Eva to desperation.
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.

As the book progresses further, we soon learn more and more why Irene’s feelings of resentment towards Clare are justifiable. Growing up, Clare had “never been exactly one of the group” (Larsen 20) and always wanted more out of life. Her desires and light skin eventually landed her in the “other world,” passing off as white. Irene finds especially shocking how Clare could just drop her entire heritage like a brick and live with someone who considers African-Americans “black scrimy devils” (Larsen 40). Here we see the first signs of racial and sexual tension that exists between the two women.
Still she is a product of the sum of all the bad things that had happened in her life, the blunt of which she did not ask for. First the deception and eventual suicide of her husband, followed by the public scandal of her being outed for seeking solace in one of her students compounded by the huge responsibility keeping her family estate up and running, it was just too much for one person to handle. She was a victim of grave misfortune and very few people would be able to think and act rationally given those odds. Blanche’s demise began at a very young age when her husband committed suicide because she found out, confronted and berated him for his homosexuality. As a person motivated by desire it is not hard to imagine the hurt she must have felt upon discovery of his deception and his cowardice resolution of suicide must have further infuriated and humiliated her.
Her father left her when she was young and her mother lost herself in the bottle of pills and booze. Therefore became the mother a prostitute to pay the rent and feed the family. Besides the lack of care from her parents, she had a boyfriend which she probably thought cared about her and the love to him made her completely blind to see his evil sides. That is why she apparently became a prostitute, to earn money to help her “big love”. All those points affected her incredibly much and also had some consequences, such as being a prostitute, actually trying to commit suicide and in the end the death as cause.
This problem resulted in her financial dependence. Being so introverted even caused her to drop out of business college. She had embarrassed herself by getting sick during class and refused to go back. Without having any schooling she could not support herself and had to rely on her mother and brother. Tom worked at a meaningless warehouse job and giving up all his dreams of a better life to provide for her.
Men can have an adverse effect on women’s lives, these relationships can cause inner turmoil in the lives of those women involved. Ophelia from Hamlet and Linda Lowman from Death of a Salesman are prime examples of how these relationships can turn their lives for worse. Many do no realize what they are giving up to keep the calm, or are so blind that they feel a sense of normality in their lives. Both of these women let their men basically have total control of their entire being, which resulted in both their lives ending in tragedy. 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.
Singles who are without family nor parents, will most likely become a nun or a prostitute to survive. Meanwhile married women live an uncomfortable life without freedom and are seen as a property of the husbands. The theme Chopin was trying to deliver is limited rights (as it shows through the stories), unfair society, the pursuit of freedom, “Free, free, free!” (7), “Free!
