Mathilde then borrowed her rich friend Madame Forestier’s necklace, and at that moment, I could already foreshadow something bad to happen. I couldn’t help but compare this story to real life situations after reading each scene because this continues to occur till this day. Guy does an amazing job illustrating reality into words forming a story out of it. While at the party, Mathilde attracts all the attention because of her appearance, however, the few hours of admiration and joy she encounters will all come to an end. What the people don’t see is the truth underneath the surface of her appearance of who she really is.
When we first meet Curley’s wife, Steinbeck makes her appear very flirtatious and dangerously beautiful. Steinbeck does this by giving her features that are very atrocious but yet lures you such as ‘full, rouged lips’, ‘red fingernails’, and ‘red mules’. The word ‘red’ symbolises many associations with sex, lust and seduction. Another quote that would question the reader would be, ‘She’s a jailbait.’ From this quote alone, it evokes the reader of suspicion that she could be the ticket to jail as well as being an object that would foreshadow later in the book. In addition to the previous paragraph, we also know that Curley’s wife is a married woman, a possession of Curley’s.
Mia is surrounded by many people who look as if they should be on the cover of Vogue magazine with their slender sun kissed bodies, making Mia feel ugly and not good enough. It did not help when Mia’s mom called Mia fat, that led Mia to have all sorts of body image problems. As Mia hangs out with Simon more and more she starts to realize that she is beautiful just the way she is. Simon’s one liners like ‘letting go’ and ‘just living in the moment’ really helped Mia to figure who she truly is and to not worry about what others think about her. The tone that the author set was complication and romance.
One of Blanche’s first signs of fabrication comes into play at the start of Act II Scene I. In response to Stella’s question, “What are you laughing at, honey?” Blanche says, “ Myself, myself for being such a liar… How does that sound?” The lunacy in Blanche’s persona, while reading her telegram for an old flame Shep to Stella, illuminates how dried up she is becoming. Williams follows this scene up with an outburst between Eunice and Steve, symbolizing how easy it is for a dose of reality to overpower and diverge from the figments of Blanche’s imagination. A common tactic of straying away from present time is to do what makes one feel young again. In Blanche’s case, she makes use of boys who are much younger than herself.
Along with the use of comedy as a means of critique, Fey also incorporates humor as a tool to downplay the serious aspect of her topic and as a way of keeping the attention of her audience. Fey incorporates humor throughout her entire narrative in order to critique the patriarchal society that she finds herself surrounded by. Fey’s use of humor is made up of sarcasm and does a good job at making her harder to refute. “The only person I can think of who has escaped the ‘crazy’ moniker is Betty White, which, obviously, is because people still want to have sex with her” (Fey p.3). Fey makes choses to talk about the way women are treated in the entertainment industry with a joke on Betty White, which targets both sexism and ageism, which Fey repeatedly addresses, but with a softer approach through the use of humor.
He has a very high social status, other girls want to marry him. Darcy's prejudices about Lizzie's family are proven to be right.

She cries out in protest but manages to catch it.

The protagonist Blanche Dubois enters the play.
Society seems paradoxical in its reverence for innocence and purity, while at the same time indulging in the very hedonistic lifestyle it so condemns. Sober productivity to work and sexual purity are exalted, but everywhere scantily clad women peddle the best product that will achieve drunkenness in the hopes of leading to casual sex. ‘Sex, drugs, and Rock ’N Roll’ has become the mantra of an entire generation, yet people still hold in esteem the values of living a virtuous and wholesome life. Roman Polanski’s Repulsion (1965) explores this contradiction between thought and action through the protagonist’s psychological state and mental breakdown. Polanski argues that the human ideal of wholesomeness and purity cannot survive in a male- dominated civilization ruled by sex.
Shirley Temple in the Bluest Eyes by Toni Morrison represents the American ideal girl and a representation of the stigma related to not being white in a society. In one way or another all of the characters in the Bluest Eyes are obsessed with beauty and defining what beauty is to them. The blue eyes closely tie to Shirley temple and baby dolls and their representation of a hierarchy of race. “Along with the idea of romantic love, she was introduced to another—physical beauty. Probably the most destructive ideas in the history of human thought.
