Curley’s wife is portrayed as being a whore – but this is only due to the way she dresses, her provocative ways and the way she acts around men, as if she is aware of her femininity. This could suggest that she is only like this because she is bored, like it is something to do – something interesting for a change. She is constantly trying to get people to notice her. But, because of Lennie’s purity and innocence, he doesn’t see her in the way other men do – a sexual object. When Steinbeck quotes “And because she had confided in him, she moved closer to Lennie and sat beside him”, it is clear to the audience that Curley’s Wife is using her sexuality as an object to create some sort of excitement for herself.
This also could be used to describe to describe his view on life seeing that he thought people were “boring” if they were just like everyone else and cared about the little details. The author also uses italics to emphasize words like in this sentence: “I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them”. Just as the Salinger used italics for the same purpose, to show how Holden only cared about the main idea, which in this case was his unrealistic role as the “Catcher in the Rye”. Holden seemed to try to get the point of what he was trying to tell his sister while she kept on correcting him. Another strategy used by the author to effectively
What you have to do is trust your own story. Get the hell out of the way and let it tell itself.” (106). This comment reflects on the idea that the stories force their own way out, and in a way tell themselves. This is because after being repressed for so long, they sort of just blurt out. I found ‘The Man I killed’ to be a particularly interesting story out of this book.
At first readers are made to feel bad for him but then you quickly realise that Parris is just worried about his reputation. He's afraid that if people think there's witchcraft in his household, he'll lose his position as minister of Salem. Parris says ‘Now tell me true, Abigail. And I pray you feel the weight of truth upon you, for now my ministry is at stake, my ministry and perhaps your cousin’s life.’ This shows that even though his daughter should be his main priority, he cares far more about his ranking in the community and his business in the ministry. Miller also presents Parris as a man that is extremely pleased with himself and he believes that he should be shown more respect than he is been given.
Don Elias didn’t go out and make an honest living. He was only respected by the people around him because they feared him. Dona Matilida was not seen as an equal partner in the relationship. She was more of a servant to Don Elias. I believe that when they first got married there was some kind of love in their relationship, but when they realized they could not conceive a child Don Elias blamed his wife.
He is very short tempered and doesn’t have much patience for her. He looks at her almost as a possession, something that makes him look good. As stated in the novel, "You are burnt beyond recognition”, he added, looking at his wife as one looks at a valuable piece of personal property which has suffered some damage" (pg. 4) To him, she’s just something he owns and has to take care of, nothing more. He may fulfill the marital contract between him and Edna, but he does not do so equally.
He appears to feel that he is loving and the "most important man" in their lives, although the audience can see that at different stages throughout the play, he was uncaring to both of them. Gerald Croft represents Capitalism. He’s from a wealthy background so he treats women uncaringly because his focus is on money and social status rather than emotional feeling. From the start of the play, Gerald is presented as having capitalist believes. We see this demonstrated when he agrees with Birlings treatment with Eva Smith.
If she is a perfect person, she will not say such words that hurt her parents. Therefore, people can tell that Hazel is not too perfect in the story and if people continue to read some parts of the story, they will find more examples that show Hazel is not a perfect person. Another review on Amazon says that people want to stop reading at the end of chapter one because they feel bored with the story. I believe after chapter one the story has some interesting occurrences even though I
This new event come to reduce Macbeth’s anxiety but increase his hesitation: his speech is full of opposition and wonderings « Cannot be ill, cannot be good [..] why do I yield to that suggestion ».
