In reference to Myrtle Wilson’s slaughter, Nick and Gatsby have this exchange, “ ‘ Was Daisy driving’ ‘Yes,’ he said after a moment, ‘but of course I’ll say I was…” (143 Fitzgerald). Gatsby is yet another person who protects Daisy from any consequences she may face. Daisy accidentally runs over Myrtle Wilson, something ironic in and of itself because Myrtle having an affair with Daisy’s husband, in a fit of emotions that she can 't control, and then doesn 't have to deal with any of the repercussions because she is protected from the by the men in her life. Daisy does know that she 's not living in the real world, but she is shielded
They both regretted the mistreatment of their mothers and wished for them to come back. Fortunately, Phoebe’s mother came back but, however, Sal’s mother did not. The author shares this valuable theme in the book, that you never know the worth of water until the well is dry and that you should never treat the ones that love you poorly because they do not last
He tells Hales that it strange how at night when she muttering aloud her books he cannot say his prayers out loud, but when she stops he can pray again. This makes Hale very suspicious of Martha Corey for witchcraft, thinking that it is her spirit that is casting out at her husband so that he may not say his prayers.
John believes that his wife needs to get better from a nervous condition, so he takes her out to a country house to recover. He is often condescending to her and her needs, and whenever he does talk to her it is usually about his own problems. Furthermore, he does not permit her to do anything that involves work or creativity not even to write. The narrator writes in a secret diary as to provide any form of freedom and creativity that she desires as a human. John eventually finds the diary and destroys it, and John confines the narrator to a room with a yellow wallpaper that the narrator despises.
His guilt is indestructible; nothing can quench it. In the quotation above, Macbeth desperately asks the doctor to remove the terrible psychic guilt that is destroying Lady Macbeth. He asks him if he cannot help a diseased and troubled mind, pleading with the doctor to just take one memory from her mind and destroy it with some “sweet oblivious antidote” (89). It is only later, to his dismay, that he discovers there is no fix to her guilt, no antidote, no medication. The doctor explains to Macbeth that a terrible memory cannot be vanquished from a person’s mind; a person must live with what he or she has done.
Curley's wife wants someone agreeable to talk to because she doesn’t “like Curley” because he “ain’t a nice fella” (89). Curley’s wife does not feel content with her marriage to Curley and she wishes for someone to be nice and keep her company. Curley's wife exhibits a longing for someone to talk to and a place to be a part of rather than be friendless and unsociable. Steinbeck's description of Crooks, Candy, and Curley's wife proves that being segregated and companionless is damaging, while a population of people can be promising. In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, there is a description of migrant workers that is not unlike some of the cycles in our world today.
In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Charlotte Perkins Stenson shows how Jane, an already ill woman, begins to become even more psychologically weakened due to solitary confinement. This story signifies how Charlotte Perkins Stenson, herself, was actually subjected to the slow departure of her own mental health. It allows us to view how isolation can inescapably drive a person to a certain breaking point and into a downward spiral that can ultimately end in lunacy. The story starts off sounding sweet and innocent enough.
It is a firsthand account of a mentally ill woman from this time. She recalls that “[A doctor] sent me home with solemn advice to ‘live a domestic a life as far as possible,’ to ‘have but two hours ‘intellectual life a day,’ and 'never to touch pen, brush or pencil again as long as I lived.’" (Gilman 968). A credible doctor believed that if a woman could just rest then her ailment would just fade away. That clearly shows how women were viewed at this time.
Beside my stand, others believes Physicians and other medical care people should not involve themselves indirectly causing death; however, if they will not be willing to provide a way to relieve extreme pain when a person 's quality of life is low, then what is the meaning of freedom of choice for citizen is when they cannot choose the right for themselves. Even though, the author had “dreamed of disconnecting” her patient’s respirator, yet every day she forced to “make her death impossible and her life unbearable” (Page 458). As the Physician she “ feel differently toward her than the father toward his son”, and that is why the author did not takes off the respirator; knowing, it would be an easy way for killing the women, since never have the same emotional connection as the father (page 458). Finally, the author never had the admiration feeling for women to be able to convict a murder just as the father has done for his infant. Risking one’s life for someone else is not supporting euthanasia, yet giving peace to those painful souls one’s should not have the guilt to live
He says that Pearl will never recognize him due to not ever meeting him throughout her life. In fact, the true father of Pearl is Arthur Dimmesdale, as this is the one who Hester allegedly committed adultery with thus becoming pregnant. After taking out a medicine that’ll be used to treat Pearl, Hester rejects it, showing that she rather have unfortunate things happen to her other than help. The relationship between Hester and Chillingworth so far is that they try to reach out to each other with their problems, especially from Chillingworth to Hester because she has suffered much more than him. Chillingworth calls Hester out to be a “foolish woman” for not accepting the offer, and asks for what reason he would ever harm a baby.
Next, another example would be that her husband forbids her to work and keeps her inside until she gets better which is really not good for anyone 's health not go outside and get fresh air. As the short story of “The Yellow Wallpaper” states “So I take phosphates or phosphites- whichever it is, and tonics, and journeys, and air, and exercise, and am absolutely forbidden to ‘work’ until I am well again. Personally, I disagree with their ideas. Personally, I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good” (770 Gilman). This states another good example of cruelty to women because back then women were not allowed to work they were expected to stay home and clean all day and raise there kids.
She was like a child and John was her strict father, he wouldn 't let her do anything besides eat and sleep. Since the beginning of the short story the narrator has been treated as if she were one of John 's patients instead of his wife. For instance, when she wanted John to change the wallpaper he told her she was "letting it get the better of her" and "that
Her husband, John, is a physician who tells her that the only way to be cured is to do nothing. Meaning the narrator isn’t able to write, even though she secretly writes anyway. The wife is forced to hide her depression in order to pretend in front of everyone that she

Even when he was diagnosed and advised to take a certain medication, because Adam didn’t want to take it the mother refused the treatment. The mother did not put enough authority in Adams life and let him do his own thing although she knew something was wrong. Nancy mentioned to friends about Adam, but she never reported it to psychologists or to people that would be able to help Adam. The mother being a gun enthusiastic knew there was something wrong with his son that he was mentally ill and she had guns that were easily accessible to him. The constant change of schools because Adam was being bullied, did not solve the problem either.
