Esther's unawareness of these warning signs show her mental detachment and that perhaps the rape attempt that later takes place is by no means the sole cause of her change in behavior. There are many less subtle examples of her increasingly abnormal behavior prior to the rape attempt that takes place. Specifically in chapter 9, the photo shoot sparks Esther to cry uncontrollably because she is unhappy with the paper rose prop meant to represent her desire to become a poet. In fact, her uncertainty of her future plans is a primary cause of her depression and anxieties that develop. Never-the-less, it is the trauma from the rape attempt, which Esther initially considers letting happen and then fights back, that leads to Esther throwing away her expensive clothes off the hotel rooftop.
The old woman is afraid to go out because she feels threatened, as she finds ‘excreta’ in her letterbox and broken windows in her house. Powell tries to include the scandalous behaviour in his speech to arise sympathy from the audience and to persuade them to support his view. However, Powell uses positive adjectives, such as “charming”, “wide-grinning” to describe the immigrated children, creating a friendly image. Yet, the word Powell uses to describe the children is “piccaninnies”, such condescending word is setting them apart, degrading the image of immigrants. In addition, the fact that the only English word the children know is “racialist”, Powell establishes a sense of irony because the children are portrayed as young, amicable, yet the only word and idea they know is
The Friar tries to dissuade Giovanni from commencing the relationship despite there being little effect from his words. Annabella is harshly reprimanded by the Friar, so much so that she sees sense to confess to her sins. Despite her confession however, she is still punished grotesquely towards the end of the play. Giovanni does not confess; instead he sees his actions as necessary to deal with the problem that he is the main cause of. The final line “Who could not say, ‘Tis pity she’s a whore?” can be seen as directed towards her and so she is blamed for everything that has occurred.
Sylvia, in her frustration with Gellburg, says ‘Don’t sleep with me again’ in a rather commanding manner. The use of the negative imperative don’t’ gives the audience the sense that Sylvia is finally taking authority - not just over Gellburg, but over herself and over her life. Gellburg, in response to Sylvia’s belittling, cold-heartedness, exclaims: ‘Sylvia, you will kill me if we can’t be together’. Miller introduces elements of foreshadowing and tragic irony, as in scene nine; Gellburg does indeed have a heart attack and becomes severely ill. Gellburg also becomes increasingly emotional in return to Sylvia’s heartless, insensitive statements as is shown in the stage directions when he is ‘beginning to weep’. The portrayal of Gellburg in this scene is a complete contrast to the Gellburg exposed in scene two when he with ‘immense difficulty’ utters ‘I love you’ to Sylvia.
When the destruction of the world around her is described, this could symbolism the destruction of her. Duffy uses no rhyme in the poem as it flows without it due to the repeated syntactical structure which has been used. In the first stanza, there is a sense of intensity growing, from ‘a suspicion’ into ‘a doubt’ into ‘a jealousy’. This shows that the natural feelings that are felt are corrosive and that there is a destructive poison on her personality, which also shows in the line ‘grew in my mind’. The power of these emotions drive her to do what she does.
When John Reed finds her and hurls a book at her head, she is forced to go to the "red-room." Jane is immediately blamed without having a chance to give her account of the incident. Jane's straightforwardness and honesty when relating with others is fundamental to her character; but it is not until Mrs. Reed accuses Jane of having "a tendency to deceit" (65), in the presence of Mr. Brocklehurst, that we see this attribute of her character surface. Before this time, Jane has been able to suppress her anger and emotions regarding the Reed family quite successfully. In this scene, however, we seen Jane's hatred toward Mrs. Reed begin to fester and build up inside her until she erupts with emotion and all her pent-up feelings are released -- "Speak
It’s horrible, because women truly suffer. Some reasons women should not be battered are that a person can cause several injuries to the victim, hurt their feelings and cause psychological damage. In my opinion, when some women are battered usually the guy hits her, kicks her, and slaps her. This causes injuries to the victims who have to deal with being abused. I feel bad and sad for the victims, because a woman can’t do anything when a man punches her.
Both characters collide with each other over influence of Stella, Blanche’s sister. Eventually, however, Stanley is the victor, raping Blanche and sending her into a completely delusional state. To begin with we can see the way in which the playwright uses the characterisation of Blanche to establish the theme of appearances versus reality in the way in which she struggles to accept the harsh reality of her surroundings. When Blanch first arrives she is shocked by her surroundings: ‘Her expression is one of shocked disbelief. Her appearance is incongruous to this setting.’ When Blanche first is introduced to Stella’s home she is shocked and this establishes Blanche’s strong sense of class, and also that Blanche will be an outsider in this particular setting, never realizing just how harsh it is.
In the beginning, you immediately feel the isolation of the room in which our character lives, but you quickly figure she is there for a reason. In her writing in secret and disagreeing with physicians at all cost, you feel sorry for her, but also question if she is of right mind. There are times you are angry with the husband, but you know that is how it was at that time with how he treats her. I would agree most people reading would assume she is crazy and then see the clues that lead to postpartum depression and see the husband as not all bad. You cannot trust that her view of any reality when she seems most lucid is even clear enough for anything when you realize her state of mind.
