She is the perfect example of how women of her level of society were supposed to act in her day. The circumstances surrounding Gatsby and Daisy's relationship kept them eternally apart. For Daisy to have been with Gatsby would have been forbidden, due to the fact that she was married. Marriage at the time was all about finding a suitable match, not about finding the one you truly loved. This means that even society makes love unobtainable and we can see that through the fact that Daisy’s mum wasn’t even supportive of her love for Gatsby when she had found her “packing her
The initial wrong committed in The Scarlet Letter was adultery, a sin very easily condemned by the Puritans in the mid 1600’s. It is agreeable that Hester should not have cheated on her husband. Even though, he had been missing for two years and was thought dead, it was still a crime and against their religious beliefs. Hester and Dimmesdale’s sin was a sin based off of pure love for each other. Why else would a preacher long to be with a married woman?

They ignored her when she would come by “looking for Curley,” saying nothing more than that he was not there. In reality, she was not looking for her cruel, unloving husband. She was looking for a friend who would take the time to get to know her more than simply Curley’s wife.

As I read on I see that David was punished for what he did. He got Bathsheba pregnant and she had a baby. David loved the baby to death, but God gave the baby a life threatening illness and he died seven days later. If I had not been able to
Women were viewed as men’s property so they had to do whatever the husband wanted them to do. Also they did the entire domestic work and look after the children.

Finally the men didn’t think much of women for doing things that they could.
He wouldn't take the blame for her.
