Analysis Of Tennessee Williams A Streetcar Named Desire

By recounting numerous tragedies and their effect on people throughout the story, Alvarez emphasizes the wickedness behind suppressing one’s unassailable rights while also underlining the importance of sacrifice.

Personal happiness and social obligation are always on the opposing end of the spectrum. They can also be one in the same. Literatures written over time express social obligation over personal happiness or personal happiness over social obligation, such works include “The Love Suicides of Amijima” by Chikamatsu Monzaemon and an excerpt from Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A vindication of the rights of woman”. These two stories are distinctly different in which they show more favoritism towards. Monzaemon’s play has a perpetual sadness issued by the fact that personal happiness caused the downfall of many characters.

Throughout much of O’Connor’s works, there is this idea that a character needs redemption, as Dorothy Walters suggests in her book, Flannery O’Connor. Walters also states when these characters are enlightened, it is often “through catastrophe.” In O’Connor’s “Good Country People,” this salvation through violence occurs for Joy. Through the evaluation of Joy’s downfalls in character and her misinterpretation of Manley Pointer, Joy has a horrific experience that will forever change her perspective and reform her overconfidence. Before Joy/Hulga even meets Manley Pointer, readers understand that she has a lack of experience in the real world.

Claude McKay structures his poem around the argument of his bittersweet relationship with America. McKay hints at the negative aspects of America while proclaiming that the unfavorable features of America are what gives him life to survive in the country. In the poem, McKay uses elements of personification, imagery, metaphors, and his choice of diction to illustrate to the audience his love-hate relationship with America. Personification is the most prominent feature of the poem, as it is used to depict America as a female. Personification is often used in literary works to animate inanimate objects by giving them human traits to help readers connect with the inanimate object.

Miller suggests that guilt can make people go to extreme lengths only to save themselves. Between the two characters Abigail Williams and Elizabeth Proctor, Miller is showing that guilt brings out selfish habits of a character.

Sequentially a thorough examination of the Plath 's poem "Daddy" paints a different picture by stripping away the urbane façade, she reveals the social restrictions on females. Plath 's combative systems of metaphors in "Daddy" offers a more picturesque view of the means by which power can transpire. Plath appropriates that power for herself, by becoming the attacker who terrifies, who imposes himself upon other. She no longer hides because she no longer has to she shed the femininity which threatened to undermine her. Her reversing the metaphorical expectations and writes a poem that not only overwhelming compelling but also

For Shakespeare’s plays to contain enduring ideas, it must illustrate concepts that still remain relevant today, in modern society. Shakespeare utilises his tragic play Othello, to make an important social commentary on the common gender stereotypes. During early modern England, Shakespeare had to comply to the strict social expectations where women were viewed as tools, platonic and mellow, and where men were displayed as masculine, powerful, tempered, violent and manipulative. As distinct as this context is to the 21st century, the play exposes how women were victimised by the men who hold primary power in the community in which they compelled women to conform to the ideal world of a perfect wife or confront an appalling destiny for challenging the system. Moreover, Shakespeare utilises the main antagonist, Iago, to portray how men are desperate to achieve what they want and to indirectly fulfil the stereotype of masculinity and power through manipulation.

He critically analyses the psychology of the characters, examines every ripple of mind, delves deep into the character’s subconscious mind and shows the outcome of the conflict between nature, custom and self. It is really surprising that a lyricist is deeply earth-bound and realistic in the threadbare analysis of the psychological conflict of characters. The story- “Living or Dead?” describes a psychological case that is a result of social pressure. In the story, there is a reference to a repressed character---a widow woman (Kadambini) who because of not functioning of heart-beat for a short while is considered dead her re-awakening into life is considered as a ghost.

Ha? What is ’t thou say’st?—Her voice was ever soft, Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.” (Act V. Scene iii. Lines 283-236).

Perestroika is a term used to describe reformation when you are changing and improving for the greater good. This is perhaps why Kushner chose to name the second act of his play Perestroika, because the characters embody the meaning of the word in their transformations. Throughout the play it is evident that Harper is absolutely miserable and like many others, turns to her addiction in order to mask the feelings of pain and resentment of her unhappy marriage. Her story does have a happy ending in which she expressed the journey through her affliction in her final scene, “In this world, there is a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we’ve left behind, and dreaming ahead (Kushner 285).”
