Grandma Lynn is one of the more vibrant, vain and misunderstood characters within the novel, like her Daughter she portrays an air of selfishness (Relating back to her daughter leaving the family in a time of crisis) however she takes the role of the level-headed peacekeeper throughout her appearances in the Novel, from her arrival before Susie’s funeral to her departure. We also notice how she is a hardened person, unlike the rest of the family. Sebold represents her as a vain and self-conscious character, an alcoholic and above all she has a straight forward attitude. Sebold initially represents Grandma Lynn in the play as one of the more hardened characters, upon her arrival we already get an idea of the character as someone who is unaffected by personal crisis’s such as Susie’s death, even before her arrival the call between Abigail and Grandma Lynn helps to portray her hardened character, the way that she is blankly states that “She has to come because it’s Susies funeral” she doesn’t seem to show much emotion on her arrival and the way that she brings a more vibrant atmosphere into the solemn and sad house. Even on her arrival instead of confronting the issue of Susies death she orders for a “Stiff Drink”.

She is uninterested in learning English and feels she is not obligated to, she instead expects her grandchildren to learn Anishinabe.
In the story Where are you going, where have you been? By Joyce Carol Oates I feel the theme that is being portrayed is adult versus child. Basically Connie is still a child but in her mind she is an adult. She feels more grown up than she actually is. Connie talks about how “everything about her has two sides, one for home and one for everywhere else.” To me that shows that at home she is still a child but everywhere else she is treated like an adult.
The government saw women in the workforce as a temporary change. After experiencing independence, women were no longer willing to accept being second best. Women in the 1940s and 50s faced many social, physical and emotional challenges in their lives. These challenges are expressed in three texts: the film text Mona Lisa Smile directed by Mike Newell, the song At Seventeen by Janis Ian and the Diary of Anne Frank.

She is first perceived as a weak character who Iago says keeps many thoughts to herself: "She puts her tongue a little in her heart," meaning that many of her most critical thoughts remain unsaid. Even Desdemona has to encourage her to speak. This silence throughout much of the play may be one cause of her drastically changing at the end. Initially Emilia sets out to please Iago without question, as this was her role as an Elizabethan wife, however at the end she speaks against him when she realizes his true intentions. Her change at the end of the play could show that she’s isn’t an outsider, as she now has her own opinion and her own voice like many of the other characters within the play.
