Her mother also told her this advice because she has to get married but she is rejecting every guy and is always complaining about it. She only sees whats bad in people and doesn't see the positive things about a person. What is she supposed to learn from this advice?

With people tormenting her about her cousins who were teen moms, or her father who made a fool of his drunken self in public, the poor girl felt like nothing more than dirt, and she wanted to be thought of as flawless and beautiful. Edith dreamed of being a celebrity, she wished to be a perfect girl, and to live in a perfect world "in which only married women had babies, and in which men and women stayed married forever." The shacks in which Eddie grew up were less than desirable, and supposedly thought of as contemptible, by people of a higher social class. When Edith moved to the boarding house, with set meal times, she was quite ashamed to think of how people living in the shacks didn't have meal times, they simply found any food they could and ate by themselves when they were hungry. The potato-chip plant that Eddie worked at
Beatrice is cynical and witty; she doesn’t conform when it comes to the role of women in Elizabethan time. In terms of how males view females, there is a theme of cuckoldry (men who married unfaithful wives). This is shown in the first scene when Leonato confirms that Hero is his daughter, ‘Her mother hath many times told me so’, a joke at her expense, implying she is unfaithful to him. In a conversation between Claudio and Benedick, they talk about Hero. Claudio asks if he ‘noted’ her, Benedick tells him he did not, but he ‘looked on her’.
Atwood begins her poem with the speaker mysteriously introducing a secret. By writing the "Siren Song" in first person, the reader is shown how the Sirens feel about their song. They know how much people desire to hear their song and they taunt the reader by hinting that they will tell the secret if the reader gets "me out of this bird suit". The song is just a "cry for help" that the birds find "boring", which, if it was written from any other point of view, would not be known about as it is "the song nobody knows". In Homer's Odyssey, the Sirens are mythical creatures whose enchanting voices lure sailors to their deaths.
When his most loved daughter comments on her sister’s reactions about his wishes, he then begins to go insane after irrationally separating his land between two of his three daughters based on their charm bringing terrible consequences for everyone. I would say that’s Lear’s first mistake; separating power and responsibility. His two eldest daughters are prepared to be in control of their own lives (age wise) but not necessarily mature enough. A reason of immaturity from the daughters that Lear didn’t notice was how fond they were of him when he declared his wanting, therefore, they aren’t ready to rule a kingdom. They allowed their father to act as if he is still in charge.
Reet Goyal Mr. Belellano Honors English 1 November 5, 2013 Be Yourself A prominent theme in the short fiction narrative “The Necklace,” by the French author Guy de Maupassant is that many individuals do not appreciate what is given to them and they always want more in order to meet society’s expectations. Madame Mathilde Loisel’s husband worked extremely hard to get himself and his wife an invitation to an extravagant party that he knew she’d enjoy because she desired glamour. Monsieur Loisel extremely proud of what he had done, but when he brought the envelope home his wife immediately threw it to the side and said, “’I haven’t a thing to wear. How could I go?’” (de Maupassant 334) Madame Loisel should have been over the moon with excitement that she had gotten the opportunity to go to such a fancy ball, but all she cared about was how she was expected to look gorgeous if she were to attend. Her first thought, when she received the invitation, was of appearance instead of gratitude.
But after her father yells at her and tells her if she doesn’t marry she’ll be kicked out of the house; she goes to Friar Laurence for advice.

Myrtle wishes she was in the place of Daisy and wishes to escape to the ‘Egg’. She breaks down and cries when she finds out George borrowed the suit he wore to the wedding, which shows her wish to be married to a rich man. This is one of the reasons she has an affair with Tom Buchanan, the other being that she just wanted to have fun “ You can’t live for ever” is the way she puts it. Myrtle doesn’t treat George with any respect, when Tom is with them she is “walking through her husband as if he were a ghost”. She also states that she “made a mistake when she married him”.

Most people are unable to see it, but even in some songs, or movies, it is clearly shown that men are superior to women and that women will do whatever men want from them. An example of this is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) because it is a story about a girl who is kicked out of her house because of her jealous stepmother who only cares about superficial beauty. Snow White then ends up having to cook and clean for seven men, while they are at work. After this, even though she is warned, she is easily tricked by a witch in a disguise, and then finally is, of course, saved by a man in the
