Due to Mrs. Reed’s late husband and Jane’s uncle’s dying wish, Jane was to live with the Reeds with Mrs. Reed treating her as one of her own children. Yet Mrs. Reed and her children, especially John who Jane often calls a “…wicked cruel boy!”(Bronte 5) treat her unfairly because she is not of gentleman status. While reading, I was reminded of the feeling I had while in all my Pre-Ap classes. Overall, part one of Jane’s life is really interesting. In the beginning when Jane is being punished for lashing out at John by being sent to the Red Room, one wonders why send her there?

Muriel is more concerned about her appearance than her husband’s emotions, and reads women’s magazines while Seymour reads poetry. They are both seeing the same thing, but evaluating completely differently; this shows how the two have grown apart, and have opposite prospective on life. Salinger starts the story off with a phone conversation, which provides important background on the characters that is not truly understood at the time. Muriel’s mother is quite concerned about Seymour’s emotional state. One of the first things she says is, “I've been worried to death about you” which is ironic because Seymour actually dies in the end, but it shows how the situation is serve, yet the much younger Muriel simple answers with “I'm fine.

Haley Muggy Basuli SURVEY WOMENS LIT ENGL315A SEC 001 3/14/13 Option #2 The Yellow Wallpaper and its’ Relation to Sandra Fluke From the very beginning of “The Yellow Wallpaper”, written by Charlotte Perkins Gillman, it is clear that the main character is being oppressed and demeaned by her husband John. “John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage,” she writes about her husbands’ reaction to her questions about their future summer home. The fact that she says that being mocked is expected in marriage is a sad thought, and makes me hope that we have come a long way when it comes to marital relationships since this story was written. This story is set in the 19th century, and was written to draw attention to the need for women’s physical and mental health to be taken more seriously. “Hysteria” was a common diagnosis seen in only women for hundreds of years in Western Europe.

She has to tell her sister the bad news that she lost their family home, Belle Reve, and also took off from her teaching job due to her bad nerves. This is the first indication of Blanche’s insanity. She is clearly unaware because she says, “Is there something wrong with me?” Another sign is Blanche’s horrible drinking habit, which research shows can lead to making horrible decisions and can alter ones life. “Both Blanche’s drinking and her endless hot baths suggest that she is attempting to wash away her past and emerge through a sort of watery purgatory.” Stanley, Stella’s husband, does not really like Blanche and accuses her of being crazy, which is an accurate description.

At the end during her sentimental speech Curley’s wife reveals to the reader her longing for being “in the movies”. The way how Steinbeck presents dreams in his novel shows that a women’s dream was harder to achieve than a males’ dream. The effect this has on the reader is that they see George and Lennie’s dream in the exact opposite way to Curley’s wife’s dream. The whole book itself rotates around George and Lennie’s dream and the failure of their dream is what ultimately makes the book so tragic whereas not a second thought is spared by the reader at the futility of Curley’s wife’s
we can see Othello losing trust in his wife, Desdemona in Act 3 Scene 3. Love is explored within the very start of the play between Othello and Desdemona but eventually changes as the play progresses. Although Othello and Desdemona do truthfully love each other, Desdemona’s father, Brabantio cannot believe that his Daughter described as a ‘white ewe’ to show her sense of innocence and purity but Othello is described as an ‘Old black ram’ showing a little bit of racism and conflict between the two being in love and that Othello is some sort of beast this is also a great example of juxtaposition being used within the play because it shows that there is some sort of conflict because of their races hence – “The black ram is tupping away your white ewe”. Love is also shown through the characters in the form of being faithful to each other for example, Desdemona and Othello. Desdemona shows that she is faithful to Othello through many different scenes such as Act 1 Scene 3, where she wishes to follow Othello to Cyprus when he is given the task to battle with the Turks.
