The government only cares that you are happy and don’t get involved in their business. However sooner or later they will stop providing you with food and entertainment, and you will someday be forced into the party and live a life of misery. The party treats all citizens like they are a number, nothing more and nothing less. We do not have any privacy Big Brother sees everything we do through monitors on every corner. We get fed barely enough to survive.
He was not in there for too long because Mr.Radley had to bring him back home so he would not die from the mold growth. When Boo left that basement, he would never see society again. While Boo was chained up in his own house, rumors passed were around town about him. People became terrified of Boo because of stories and lies told about him. He was only a victim of the insanity his parents put him through from being isolated from society.
He cheats on her, and when she finds out, it seems he could not care less. But Daisy cannot even leave him because she is too scared, and has no one to run to. Through Daisy’s situation, Fitzgerald is expressing that even when people are treated horribly, they still rely on wealth and high status. Even in society today, we see people deteriorating because of their goals to meet society’s standards. The neglect from her husband causes Daisy to wilt, much like the flower if it were treated harshly.
Although Jay Gatsby is kind in the story by throwing parties for everyone to come to he is not necessarily friendly to everyone. At his party, almost everyone had never even met Gatsby before. If he was friendly he would have made sure he met everyone at his party. A great person is one that people like and get along with and if Jay Gatsby isn’t friendly and kind there is no way that people can like him and get along with him. Individualism is the opposite of conformity which is exactly what Gatsby does through out the novel.
My brother was invited to one of his close friend dinner party. He did not care to brush his hair neither did her care to make sure his clothes were properly ironed. He just made sure that his teeth were brushed, his beard was shaved and his cologne smelled good. He was not constantly in the mirror for hours worried about his appearance. He knew he did all he can to make himself look presentable so he left for the party without second guessing how he was dressed.
The more money they had, the more admired and well looked upon their family was. There is evidence of this when Silas needs help deciding whether or not to sell the paint business at an unfair price to the English agents. She does not help him, and all she can do is shed tears because they are about to lose their only source of income. Furthermore, Persis is a great representation of an American woman who is not able to assist her husband when he needs help and guidance the most in his life. A different role that women play in the business enterprise is that of attaining wealth through social standards.
They came to Gatsbys house uninvited, and didnt respect Gatsby or his belongings. The guest were ruthless and thought nothing of anybody else as you can see in this quote, "I hope she'll be a fool, that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool . . . You see, I think everything's terrible
She tells these lies to protect herself from social ostracism. By nature she doesn’t fit the social stereotype of a woman. Being the perfect wife during this time was to be proper, unintelligent, compliant, in need of male protection and only of value as decoration, and as a homemaker and child-barer. On the other hand, her sister Stella is characterised as Blanche’s polar opposite fits the social stereotype of the perfect housewife. She lies about her husband’s vulgar behaviour and justifies it through clichés.
Instead, they live with no sense of superiority even though they could. Though apart from Gatsby, people from the new rich don’t necessarily behave better, and are just as insensitive as the old rich. For example, at Gatsby’s party they all attend with no invitation, and don’t even introduce themselves to their host. But when he dies, all of these people who came to his party are not able to make it to the funeral for one excuse or another, showing us the kind of people they were. When Gatsby couldn’t do anything for them anymore, they ran off.
Question: Discuss how the theme of social class is developed through characterisation and language. In “Jane Eyre”, Charlotte Bronte develops an underlying theme through the use of characterisation. The issue of Jane’s social position in relation to her fate is used to convey a greater message to the readers. Jane is dependant on her aunt because of her social class, and must go to a charity school to educate herself in order to be in a position to support herself. She is looked down upon by the rich for being a governess, and she believes she will never marry Rochester because of his more privileged position.
