So in both stories without these to influences neither Montag nor Wall-e would have realized something was wrong. Secondly we see the consequences of technology, in Montag society everyone stops socializing, it’s about the “family” which is the television shows. Their whole society is wrapped around the technology; the people around you barely notice each other. All that really matter to them is fun, a life doesn’t matter. This is shown to us very clearly when Clarisse gets killed by a reckless driver and Montag’s wife just ignores it, telling Montag casually about her death like it doesn’t matter at all.
When she marries John Wright, he isolates her on their farm, refusing even to obtain a telephone and kills the one possession that is precious to her - her little singing bird. 2. The men in both plays tend to devalue the intelligence of the women. Ophelia * In Hamlet, their view of women is perhaps slightly more warranted because Ophelia's inability to stand up for herself or voice her thoughts causes the audience to view her as unobservant and unthinking. Mrs. Wright/Other Women in the play * In Trifles, the county attorney and the other men see no harm in leaving the women downstairs to roam around the crime scene because they do not believe the women are intelligent enough to hinder or help their case.
According to the Wife of bath, women, if they know what is good for them, can lie twice as well as men. She continues to say that women take advantage of their husbands and victimize them, which is especially true for ugly women, “And if she be foul, thou saist that she coveiteth every man that she may see; for as a spaniel she wol on him lepe, til that she fine som man hire to chepe.” (271-274) The Wife attests that all women need to be the controlling factors in marriage for that is how they can get their husbands’ money. If women cannot marry for money then they must marry for sex for those are the only two things that really matter. She goes onto say that women must control their husbands and if need arose, beat their
At the beginning of the ‘The Edible Woman’ it’s clear to the reader that Marian’s husband-to-be, Peter is very dominating, constantly ordering her around, trying to turn her into the ideal woman he wants. He demands to have sex in the bathtub, something Marian submits to but is bothered by, and she wonders what could have inspired him, possibly “one of the murder mysteries he read… wouldn’t that be someone drowned in the bathtub? A woman.” This could suggest to the reader that Peter is a predator, as he “insisted” to have sex in the bathtub, or we could interpret this as a metaphor for Marian drowning the relationship, as she is letting him control her. Towards the climax of the novel, when the couple are lying in bed, Peter balances his ashtray “in the hollow of her bare back” and says, “I could use another drink” which was the indirect way he asks her to get him one, and perhaps this is evidence to the reader that he enjoys manipulating her and being the dominant one. Furthermore, we observe that Peter tries to influence Marian into changing her appearance; “Peter had suggested that she might have something done with her hair” and
Mary Maloney is not able to judge right from wrong as she is blocking out reality, which results in her being temporarily insane. Second, she does not have to feign her shock for her husband’s death. As Mary sees her husband lying lifeless, “All the old love and longing for him welled up inside her, and she ran over to him, knelt down beside him and began to cry her heart out. It was easy. No acting was necessary” (13).
She just shoved in her clothes, her jewellery, her perfumes” (page 281) shows her to be a vain, desperate creature who strives to give her life some purpose but is looking in all the wrong places. The passage “She joined the CWA, mixed with Corrigan’s leading ladies, helped cater for events and joined all the amateur pleared-skirt sporting fraternities and committees” (page 97) emphasises her desire to be a well-thought of and active member of the community. However her materialistic values are shown to be void and meaningless: “... she dragged that empty suitcase to her vanity table. She stole it from me, but she had nothing precious of her own to pack in it. She just shoved in her clothes, her jewellery, her perfumes” (page 281) shows her to be a vain, desperate creature who strives to give her life some purpose but is looking in all the wrong places.
Earlier in the life of Aunt Tam, “some man jumped” (186) on her and nearly took away her purity. Women are taken advantage of in a “place [that is] deserted” (186) and cannot defend themselves. Society looks down upon them and gives not respect if the women are sexually attacked unwillingly. The story of Aunt Tam displays the gender stereotype that women are victimized and powerless. After Aunt Tam fought and “resisted with every bone” (186) in her body, she runs away, symbolizing the rise of women.
Clytaemnestra makes no gains and wins no rewards following the trial; emotionally, she may very well be in a worse state than she was before. Consider what she says to the Furies shortly before the trial: “I go stripped of honour, thanks to you / along among the dead.... / I wander in disgrace, I feel the guilt, I tell you, / withering guilt from all the outraged dead!” (235.99-104). Her suffering does not end with the dropping of the final curtain. In the end, Clytaemnestra fails to do anything of importance to herself. (It’s true that she causes the trial to unfold, but this does not benefit her at all.)
And not only that, but he hides this killer persona under the most innocent of guises: an old woman who wouldn’t even hurt a fly. He demonstrates that the monsters that live among us can be both deranged murderers and caring innkeepers (or mothers or really any role that one would not expect a killer to fill). Jane Eyre is just a simple love story. Yeah right. Jane herself may not be a murderous monster, or at least she doesn’t tell the reader she is, but her doppelganger Bertha is certainly not to be trifled with.
The vocal opinions of the child shocked the headmistress which engages the audience to the edge of the seat. The viewer can assume that after Miss Minchin punishes Sara with all the chores, the child had nothing to loss. This led to Sara convey her beliefs to the headmistress by stating “Every girl is a princess. Didn’t your father ever tell you that? Didn’t he?” (ALP) is a film that truly absorbs the audience with the authentic characters and scenery that tells a story of its own.
