Britain experienced the exact opposite economically and their government aimed to reconstruct prewar Britain.

The character of Jordan Baker is a careless, irresponsible woman, which is the way many people were in the 1920’s. Daisy Buchanan appears to be a very empty-headed person. She ignores her marital problems, even creating her own when she has an affair with Gatsby, and simply chooses to pretend they never
Firstly the beginning of the play shows Stanley abusing his leadership in the household to get what he wants. During the scene where Stanley is playing poker with his friends and Blanche begins to interrupt them, he finds himself losing his dominance in the group and ends up having a tantrum. “Let the rut go of me, you sons of bitches!” (Williams 58), Stanley blows his top and goes crazy on both his friends and his wife whom he hits. A character of this mental instability should not be even thought of as a hero, his control over his house is not the only thing he abuses when together with his wife and sister in law. Stanley hates when Blanche gets more attention than him.
Over drinks, Frances confronts him about his wandering eyes and questions his love for her. Michael’s way of looking on women as mere bodies could suggest a kind of degradation, which is to define a woman only as an erotic or sexual figure. Michael reveals that he loves the way women look and when Frances asserts that one-day he will be unfaithful, Michael agrees with her. Frances feels that the day is now ruined and resorts to calling the Stevensons. The universal truth behind this story is that the innate differences between men and women coupled with lack of communication will cause a marriage to stagnate and become an uneasy compromise.

The thought police is the most insidious aspect of the dystopian society of 1984 because the people are so scared of being watched and accused of thoughtcrime that they lose trust in anyone and everyone around them. The thought police is used by the party to control the society and their thoughts. Anyone simply walking in the street could be a member of the thought police, so you never know who is watching you. This diminishes the bonds between friends, neighbors, family, etc. because you never know whom you can trust, and even someone you have the most faith in could be the person to turn you in.
The issue is that these men are affecting the others in society with their malicious ideals, notably the harmless women of this nation. Extracting all the secrets from them, the homosexuals cause women to begin to hate the men that may have only abused them once or twice, just so they can have them to themselves. How shameless can one get? Homosexuality is a problem both sexually and religiously. The bible- the religious book that all Americans follow- clearly stated that those who engage in such a sin as falling in love with the wrong person will be condemned to eternal hell.
In this weird and awkward movie a young couple Nick (George Segal) and Honey (Sandy Davis) are invited to George (Richard Burton) and Martha (Elizabeth Taylor) house for a party while being totally intoxicated. Burton and Taylor have a functional love hate relationship and both seem to enjoy bashing on each other throughout the whole movie.

Although this movie only really had four actors, all of them made the movie great and an instant classic. I personally did not like this crazy movie because of the outrageous twists and the headaches this movie gave me.
