For instance, while the county attorney and sheriff are making their observations of the home, they do not take into consideration the awful state of the house as a possible clue of the everyday struggles in Mrs. Wright’s life. Instead, they blame Mrs. Wright right away for "not being a good housekeeper". Also, the men laugh at the women's assumptions in a way that seems pretty rude. This is also because, to the women, this is a normal form of treatment: they are simply to be seen and not heard; they are pretty much invisible. There is definitely a tendency to mock the remarks made by the females of the play just because they are women.
He enjoys being the patriarch - the head of the family, enjoys holding all the strings in the household; he views himself superior emotionally and intellectually and he treats his wife as a foolish child and a plaything. Torvald has pet names for Nora like “my little skylark”, “my little squirrel”, “my poor little Nora.” (Ibsen 4) It is not hard to notice that in every term of endearment the word little is always included. This shows how he doesn’t consider her as an equal partner in the relationship. To him she is just a child-wife, someone who he needs to nourish, take care off and teach. Appearances and social standard mean everything to Torvald.

In Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, the pride of Torvald blinded Torvald, and gave him a sense of manhood and superiority over Nora throughout the play until his pride was put to the test, and in doing so, revealed a weak and desperate man. Throughout most of the play, the pride of Torvald gave him a sense of superiority over Nora by the way he spoke to her in a superior way. Torvald made it seem as if she was a child. For example, He called Nora by pet names, “My little skylark” (1040), “My little Squirrel” (1040), and “My little song-bird” (1056). In each name, Torvald used the word “little”, as if to belittle Nora emotionally and intellectually to show his power and superiority over her as if she was his child instead of his wife.
Rather than having the subject at the beginning of the sentence, the placement of There at the head of the sentence tends to indicate a display rather than a person. This one short paragraph reinforces all the implicit criticism in The Sisters. Father Flynn, as a representative of the Catholic Church and as a father figure, is huge, dominant, oppressive, pervasive but ultimately inert and ineffectual. In his coffin (an enclosed space somewhat akin to a confessional), the priest is the image of the kind of contagious paralysis that affects the lives and actions of so
The audience learns as much as is known by Art Spiegelman of Vladek’s story, while still strongly emphasizing a major subplot of Vladek’s relationship with people in the modern day. This unusual writing style proves to confuse the audience when panels change between the past and present, but allows us to see a greater amount of flaws in Vladek. It feels real. He is human and imperfect, which is shown in his distasteful relationship with his son and wife. All in all, both styles
Dickens castigates this class system through the foils of Estella and Biddy, Magwitch’s generosity, and Jaggers’ coolly indifferent ethics. The drastic differences in social status of Biddy and Estella molds them into very different people, with conflicting values and traits. Biddy is compassionate and approachable, Pip “repose[s] complete confidence in no one but Biddy” (95). Biddy, being raised lower class, is shocked at first to discover Pip’s desire to become a gentleman, “Oh I wouldn’t, if I was you!” (128). A working class citizen is no less respectable than a gentleman in Biddy’s eyes, it is the character of the person that truly matters.
As a child Hindley treats Heathcliff poorly and always liked to hurt him by hitting him and insulting him, but he always found enjoyment in relaxing with Catherine, Hindley’s Sister. Every since Heathcliff is first brought to the Earnshaws house Hindley has been treating him very badly but Catherine accepted him into the family. Nelly says about Hindley that, “The young master had learned to regard his father as an oppressor rather than a friend, and Heathcliff as a usurper of his parent’s affections and his privileges; and he grew bitter with brooding over these injuries” (31). Hindley did not like Mr. Earnshaw because he always told him not to bother Heathcliff. Hindley always treated Heathcliff very badly for a long time, and Heathcliff began to despise Hindley more and more.
The dissatisfaction with their work and in their relationships with fellow priests reinforces the evidence that these men experienced considerable role conflict. Is like they are a machine that is programmed to do what they are told instead of the freedom of their own lives. Is conflict role many priest faces their restriction or wanting to be married. Is a social devaluation some of the priest faces when they are trying to leave their roles that have defined their sense of social identity and try to replace it with a meaningful activity such as their desire. Hardest part of this change would be resocialization learning the new behavior and adjusting to the norm of the society specially leaving a high commitment status.
She never leaves her house, mostly because her husband is afraid of the way people talk. It really is not her fault she was the way she was; it is mostly Torvald's fault for spoiling her. Nora relies on Torvald for everything much like a puppet that is dependent on its puppet master for all of its actions. The beginning of the story depicts Nora as a woman who is totally submissive and subservient to her husband. She seems too fragile and weak to make any decisions on her own.
