Then the quote continues and states: “You will find them, [women] a set of harpies, absurd, treacherous, and deceitful—regardless of strong obligations, and mindful of slight injuries…” (86). The bluntness of this statement about women would not have come from a man seeking a wife during this time. The female villain of the novel, Mrs. Hammond exemplified these awful characteristics throughout the story. The author, Rebecca Rush was probably surrounded by women, during this time, willing to stop at nothing to secure their future. As the quote continues, “and when your integrity has been
“She turned to him in scorn. ‘Listen, Nigger, she said. ‘You know what I can do to you if you open your trap?’” Crooks knows automatically what she means as Curley’s wife becomes very aggressive and extremely racist towards Crooks. Curley’s wife is shocked that he even spoke to her and Steinbeck projects this though using the word “scorn”. Curley’s wife has taken complete control of the situation by implying that she would get him lynched, this was typical of the time period the book is set in.

“My friends at home now hate me…” Medea even earned more enemies when helping Jason. For examples, she killed Pelias and his daughters. “There I put king Pelias…” Through the play, Euripides shows that Medea is an obedient wife when she had borne for Jason two sons. She always tries
Most magazines were ran and edited by men who decided what should be written and the advertisements used. The biggest issue they got into was that of war, and whether or not Americans should become associated with it. But this issue was quickly put aside when more significant things like how to wear your uniform or make your husband more successful came along. In an article from Ladies Home Journal titles "Women and War", the author courageously says "I believe that the whole question of war and peace is a women's question, and we can decide it as we will. If the thirty-seven million women of the United States should will not to go to war on a particular occasion, there should be no war."
At the beginning of the play Lady Macbeth takes control and masterminds the murder of King Duncan. When she receives Macbeth’s letter her first thoughts are to kill Duncan, and to influence Macbeth’s rise as king. However, by the end of the play her guilt gains on and her drives her insane, ultimately leading. Lady Macbeth should be blamed for murder of King Duncan. Lady Macbeth is very manipulative and wants to be queen.
Macbeth now kills without thinking or lifting a hair on his arm. This is clear in Act 4 scene 2 when Macbeth sends for the murder of Lady Macduff and her son. This marks the moment of Macbeth’s utter madness, he no longer is killing for political gain or to get rid of an enemy, but simply out of the desire to do harm and evil. However, Lady Macbeth’s guilt drives her to utter madness in a different direction. She now sleepwalks and always has a delusional belief that she has blood on her hands.
The start of the poem (read first 3 lines) has quite a sarcastic tone and I think this shows how she feels towards the military glorifying war, doing whatever they can to convince you to join. As the poem progresses, Mikhail begins to mock the routine of war, (wakes the sirens…dispatches ambos…swings corpses through the air) therefore showing us the harmful effects of war. Today, I’ll be analysing the poem, The War Works Hard, by Dunya Mikhail. She’s an Iraqi-American poet who has been awarded the UN human rights award for freedom of writing. She has experienced war first hand and was forced to flee Iraq in 1996.
