When Benedick says he does not like the dish, he is being disrespectful not only to Beatrice but to the people of the time. He also states that no woman will be let in to his perfectness until the woman is perfect herself. Benedick loves teasing people but will not accept the fact that people tease him. Shakespeare illustrates benedick in more detail which allows the audience to understand what type of character
When this happens he will do anything to get women`s attention, which leads to him being an extremely disrespectful and impolite teenager who is also very immature. “I started giving the three witches at the next table the eye again”(Salinger 70”). In short, Holden tries to be nice to people of the opposite sex and wants to create friendships, but his immaturity makes him think of women as objects and his disrespect towards others will not help him get through his life. Holden`s communication idealism is first brought forth when he describes his life at Pencey Prep High School. He thinks it is full of phonies, morons and bastards.
The woman is clearing entertaining the crowd just to make ends meet because the poet states that she does not enjoy this job she is doing with a fake smile. The author in the first couple of lines lays the scene out of a night club with youths in a scene with prostitutes. Right off the bat, these youths are not your typical church going, well mannered kids. The use vulgarity language and degrade the female the author is highlighting in the poem. Applauding youths laughed with young prostitutes And watched her perfect, half-clothed body sway; Her voice was like the sound of blended flutes Blown by black players upon a picnic day.
One could agree that Sybil Birling is the most unsympathetic character of all since Priestly illustrates, throughout the play, the flaws in her character. In the first act we don’t hear much from Mrs Birling but one can already get an idea of her personality. When her husband praises the cook, she replies, “Arthur you’re not supposed to say such things” . This quote shows that she’s very aware of her social standing. The second act is where one really starts discovering Sybil’s real personality.
Women were to marry, and no matter how miserable they were treated, they were to please their husbands. There was also a tendency for women to stay in meaningless marriages because divorce was not supported by social standards. In the case of Maggie and Brick, he reminds her they are simply living together and married only by name. She seems to be in constant torture because she cannot experience intimacy (be it physical or emotional) with the man in which she has vowed the rest of her life to. It is obvious Brick does not appreciate the devotion of Maggie.
People do not like/believe what she writes about because it is different (people are afraid of different) and because faith has taught them not to. Bordo writes about how advertising is now tailoring to male sexiness or homosexuality. In her first section she is going for the “shock factor”, to draw in readers and make them interested. She really seems to be overemphasizing how men are on display, so the reader can realize and understand the change. Before reading this essay I never really thought about how men are on display in advertising.
To a 1940s audience, use of vocabulary like this was frowned upon, and Sheila and Eric being so rude to their parents by the end of the play, which was very much unheard of, especially in high-class home such as the Birlings. This effect I mostly lost on a modern audience, as they are commonplace in a modern household. Rather, it would be the children’s fight against their parent’s will that would interest a modern audience. A 1940s audience would have been affected by Sheila and the Inspectors fight for female rights; however it was a small part of the play. It was mostly played down by male dominance by Mr and Mrs Birling which is shown many times during the story, and yet this would not stir the audience much as it was
This by itself sounds like condemning evidence that Brick is a horrible immoral person, but we the audience feels more of sympathy toward him than anger because of the unfortunate circumstances that occurred in his life. The audience never got the chance to meet skipper but we understand that Brick and him used to be inseparable; they were professional football teammates and would spend a lot of time together traveling and playing. Brick greatly valued this friendship however; many people including his own wife completely destroyed their friendship. People would call their friendship “impure” and “wrong” implying that they were homosexual. Margret, bricks wife, confronted Skipper and told him “Stop lovin my husband or tell him he’s got to let you admit it to him!” To prove her wrong Skipper attempted to have sex with Margret but could not do it, which made him even, believe that he was gay.
But, what he didn’t notice was that she wasn’t as happy as he was. She liked being different. In conclusion, I felt that during the part of the novel where Stargirl returns to being “Susan” is unfair to Stargirl cause like I said before “Be who you want to be not who people want you to be.” 8) The author Jerry Spinelli plays two major events in the novel off of each other (the basketball game and the oratorical contest). Stargirl is rejected at one and accepted at the other. Stargirl was rejected by the crowd at the basketball games because she had helped an injured player on the opposing team.
Edna’s husband, Leonce, often noted “…her habitual neglect of the children” (Chopin 7). Chopin uses the words “habitual neglect” to intensify how Leonce felt toward Edna’s attitudes for their children. Leonce was not pleased with Edna’s lack of care and motherly abilities. Through his diction, it is evident that he senses a change in Edna. Furthermore, Leonce “thought it very discouraging that his wife, who was the sole object of his existence, evinced so little interest in things which concerned him, and valued so little his conversation” (Chopin 6).
