Antigone supports the laws of the God’s in heaven and believes that if someone is not given proper burial rites after death, they will not go to heaven. Her religious views were very important to her and the love for her brother would ultimately sway her decisions to go against the law of the king. Creon’s laws and orders became very personal to Antigone, and she took offense and felt as if his law was invading her family and going against the gods. Antigone says, “…I will bury him myself. And even if I die in the act, that death will be a glory.
After falling, she wonders if the plague is really a test of faith sent by God, or the evil working of the Devil in the world, or maybe neither… Maybe, it was “simply a thing in Nature, as the stone on which we stub a toe.” Throughout the novel, Year of Wonders, we are shown what such a brave and courageous character Anna is. Anna is an independent and inspiring character, though she has many strengths, like any person, she also has her weaknesses. If Anna did not have weaknesses, we would not be able to relate to her and would be unrealistic; she would be seen as “too good to be true”. Though Anna has her weaknesses, she does not let them get the better of her, this is why Anna is such an inspiration and a role
Smith drew many coincidences between Hutchinson’s role during the Antinomian controversy (the view that God's grace has freed the Christian from the need to observe established moral precepts) and powerful modern women today.

After Tess was attacked by Alec she said to her mother, “Why didn’t you tell me there was danger? Why didn’t you warn me?” From this we can see how little she was educated by her parents with regard to religion and if she had been warned by her parents, she would possibly not have become the victim. Even though her mother knew there was a chance of
Femi-Nazi Rant In the article “Unnatural Born Killer,” Katha Pollitt makes the argument that society doesn't take murder, violence and crimes against women seriously. She goes on to state that “we barely notice it” and are surprised or shocked when it happens. Pollitt theorizes that if there was more gun control there would be less gun violence.

In Deborah Tannen’s essay, “Can’t We Talk,” she was able to persuade me men and women misunderstand each other due to the simple fact that opposite genders perceive language differently. Tannen states in her essay, “Learning the other’s way of talking is a leap across the communication gap between men and women, and a giant step towards genuine understanding.” Throughout the essay, she uses great structure and examples to inform her readers of this gap between the genders and how it interferes with communication and understanding.

She has six different points proving the differences between men and women through examples.

However for both Bronte and Austen, relationships were unconventional for their time, as neither of the women married. Austen’s novel was much more widely accepted, as the heroine does not condone the inappropriate relationship that begins to form between Isabella and Captain Tilney. “His behaviour was so incompatible with a knowledge of Isabella’s engagement” Austen is satirical and ironic Cathy and Heathcliff’s relationship becomes strained and unobtainable because of the pressures society imposes on Cathy to marry for status and weath.
