Bechdel's Analysis Of Having A Dairy

112 Words1 Page

Bechdel asserts herself as part of a larger conversation by looking at different readings from story books, psychology books, etc. Then from what I noticed from the different text that have been highlighted in white behind the red page, it seems it’s trying to reference herself, mother, and father. For example, on pg. 151, when she’s describing the work of a forty-seven year old women and how she kept a diary about her analysis with Winnicott. It started mentioning that having a dairy was a form of an image of her own psyche, and it how it a way to start anew or in their case beginning to embrace their ‘True Self.’

  • Symbolism In The Nursery

    Finally, through the use of symbolism in the name “The Nursery,” Bradbury helps strengthen the idea that when children are spoiled by their parents, material possessions become far more valuable in their lives than their own parents. The name “The Nursery” symbolizes how the children are growing up with The Nursery as a parental figure in their lives; it is where they develop and grow in their thoughts and ideas. When David McClean is inspecting The Nursery, he says to George, “This room is their mother and father, far more important in their lives than their real parents” (Bradbury 11). Since Lydia and George wanted to give Wendy and Peter whatever they wanted, they bought them The Nursery, and as a result, Wendy and Peter became so obsessed
