She does not fully understand what is happening to her mother and many of her comments about her mother are incorrect. Also when Francesca describes her friendships at St Stella’s and her new friends at St Sebastian’s she is not always fair in her judgments.

Another theme Barker looks at is ‘Silence,’ which could link to her grandfather who refused to talk to her about his experiences in the war. And finally, the theme of emasculation is a strong theme throughout the novel, it is particularly interesting as the novel is written by a female author and from a woman’s perspective, but is mainly based around the experiences of men and their lives and any woman that do feature in the novel are usually inconsequential characters that do not understand Rivers or other characters. Silence is a symptom of ‘Shellshock.’ The term shell shock is a disorder found on the battlefield in soldiers who had been exposed to an exploding shell. The symptoms of shell shock were numerous and varied from soldier to soldier. Physical effects ranged from trembling, sweating, insomnia, diarrhoea, and minor twitches to paralysis, blindness, and muteness.
From the governess’ manuscript, how far away the ghost was from her, makes this account both unreliable and self important. For the Governess to be sure that Quint was looking directly at her, would have been difficult yet James includes this short passage, suggesting this interpretation of her. A second quotation from the novella, also suggesting the governess’ self importance is the following, “the extraordinary flight of heroism the occasion demanded of me” in reference to the sightings of the ghosts around Bly. Of course as the reader is aware, the governess has shown no real “heroism” at this point in the novel and has simply seen the ghosts, making this statement laughable; James often expresses ludicrous words from the governess, particularly in her monologues, where her thoughts are seen by the reader. Seeing herself as so important, “extraordinary” and
Montag is her family, but she doesn't consider him as much as a family compaired to the parlor walls. Another example that Mildred should start thinking for herself is she pulled the alarm on her own husband, Montag. Montag did something against the law and Mildred didn't want to get into trouble so as a result of it, "she pulled the alarm" (Bradbury 115). She lost her husband because she listened to the
Three relationships expressed in Lone Star are ones that seem problematic due work complications, parents that are forbidding a relationship, and the affair everyone knows about. One problematic relationship is between army soldier, Cliff, and army officer Pricilla Worth. This relationship has two issues: commitment and interracial. The commitment problem of this relationship has to do with Priscilla, who does not want to get married because she fears that she or Cliff may be transferred to a different post. The couple discuss this problem while at a country and western bar.
Julie Vignon in Trois Couleurs: Bl*e*u Julie Vignon is a character going through major depressive episode. The things she did have to suffer from caused this change and there are many traces of her having this depressive disorder throughout the movie. First of all, it should be mentioned that Julie Vignon never really smiles throughout the movie and she talks without any sign of enthusiasm, and only does things to get her mind away from her husband and daughter. She does not do anything that might give her joy and although she does not want to accept her loss. I believe this is more like a denial stage than being strong enough to take it.
Married to John, and has 3 sons. Conflicts she encountered: * Elizabeth and John Proctor are in conflict with one another because John has had an affair with Abigail Williams, a young woman who used to work for them and whom Elizabeth fired due to her involvement with John. * Abigail hates Elizabeth for firing her and taking her away from close proximity to John, which causes her to be one of the wrongly accused people of witchcraft. How did she deal with the conflict? * Elizabeth dealt with her husband’s affair by coming to realize that she may have been partly at fault for her husband's unfaithfulness, because she was not always as warm and loving as she could have been.
Linda occasionally argues her point across until she is yelling at members of the family and this may be because she is frustrated because she is never heard when she tries to give her opinion. Although Willy has an affair with a woman, even in the midst of trying to convince herself that Willy's
Although they both have many similarities, surprisingly there are many differences between these two stories. However, Poe and Chopin use various facts to illustrate the ideas and represent the similarities and differences between Mrs. Mallard and the narrator, ultimately indicating that the two characters want to get freedom from their lives. The first comparison is that both of the stories narrators change their lives for a certain while because of confidence. Mrs. Mallard, from “Story”, makes a plan for her future after her husband dies because she is not a dramatic woman who is weeping and getting depressed after her husband’s incident. She has confidence that “There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself” (Chopin 235).
