Throughout Bronte’s “Jane Eyre,” the superstitious presence surrounding Jane represents her transformation from an insecure young girl to a strong, independent woman. Bronte showed us her development in each stage of her life through her use of superstition displayed in the locations where she lived. Although Jane lives most of her life in the adventurous, unknown world, she is given the choice to do what is expected and live a life of honor and plainness; however, she eventually realized that she could not live a life so plain because she couldn’t live without the adventure. At the beginning of the novel, the superstitious presence in the red room shows Jane’s insecurity about herself; the room itself gives a description of her personality through the room’s appearance. As she looks around the room, she recalls that “it was in this chamber he,” her uncle, “breathed his last” (19).
Year of wonders 2 paragraphs on Anna’s change/what made her change * Mary Daniels’ labour. The labour of Mary Daniels’ helps to change and shape Anna into the hidden hero that she is at the end of the novel. At the start of the novel, Anna is not so independent and her whole life is shaped around what her father, Josiah, says. She does not stick up for herself, or even make most of the decisions she faces throughout the book. Through the labour of Mary Daniels, Anna proves to herself and to others, that she is capable of a lot more “than [she] thinks”.
Alicia My Story tells of the effects of when a cruel and sad situation is suddenly and without warning thrust upon the life of a young girl. In this story, I believe that one of the most important parts of the story is maintaining the will to live, because existing for no reason or living without a purpose is practically the same as being dead. In fact it is probably worse. When the body and soul are both destroyed the person can now rest in peace but, when the body is well but the soul has been crushed the person has to suffer through each day. It is truly amazing how Alicia keeps her cause for existence despite the fact that her mind is being fed far more horrors than she can bear.
In Year of Wonders Anna Frith is presented as “too good to be true”, she may be seen as a courageous and honorable character, but Anna, like everyone, has her flaws and is thus a believable and realistic character. Anna fears risks of situations, experiences jealousy and desire, turns to the wrong solution for her grief, and questions her faith throughout the novel. Anna acts bravely and risks her life in unfamiliar situations though she still fears the risks. This is demonstrated when Anna helps birth Mary Daniel’s baby as the Gowdies are gone and Randall Daniel had no one to turn to so he went to Mrs. Mompellion. Mrs Mompellion had never conceived a child herself so it was up to Anna as she had the most experience out of the two.
She is awestruck at how much her little sister had grown up. Words such as “needlepoint,” “little” scissors, and “fine” wires, display delicacy which relates to Maria Teresa and her womanhood. However, despite the fact that Maria Teresa had matured into a woman fighting for a movement, she is not yet fully independent and is restrained from gaining her independence. As a woman, even while fighting in a revolutionary movement, she is expected to do the household chores. Why is Maria Teresa immediately put to housework?
She finds daily work challenges and working with driven people to be highly motivating and she sees herself as a “star” at work. Based on her beliefs of what makes a good parent, she is also highly motivated to be a devoted mother at home. The motivators are conflicting and she is feeling pressured, guilty, unhappy and stressed, The MARS model of individual behaviour and performance is a good illustration of Anna’s current difficult situation. Her behaviour and performance is deteriorating as role perceptions and situational factors clash with her motivators. Motivation – Anna much prefers the daily challenges of working on a client site over working on internal office projects.
As described in her fight with her fourth husband she hit him then when he stroke back she pretended to be knocked out to take advantage. The Wife of Bath believes authority is more important than experience. “Was eek to to known a female from a male, And for noon other cause saye ye no? Th'experience woot it is nought so". (Page 282 lines 127-130).
In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the women are intelligent, but submissive—often victims—powerless to protect themselves and "second class citizens." The only exception may be Caroline Frankenstein who dies before the monster is created. Caroline is Victor's mother. She alone shows the ability to stand up to the world. Victor recounts... Caroline Beaufort possessed a mind of an uncommon mould; and her courage rose to support her in her adversity.
Just like most of the pregnant woman feel, the poet sees her unborn child as her world. This line could also mean that by creating life she is giving her child the world. The idea that to give life is to give the world is further expressed when she says, "all the world you hear and see hung upon my dreaming blood". The next paragraph describes the beginning of pregnancy when the mother and child are in the first stages of their relationship. The poet feels a great sense of power in this new relationship, and she compares her
