Benjamin Franklin A Misogynist

In 1869, the fifteenth amendment guaranteed that Americans would not be denied the right to vote based on their race. The three amendments deeply magnified the civil rights of Americans (Roark, 431-433). The Emancipation Proclamation had an impact in American history. Although it limited the roles in freeing slaves, it had an influence on the African American community. The Proclamation has been controversial, but it provided slaves with a sense of independence and liberty, transforming the Civil War into a fight for equality.

The author tells about how young people leave their families for a wealthy man/woman, marriage is the goal. “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” (Austen, 5) Pride and Prejudice is a courtship between Darcy and Elizabeth; this novel is one of the most honorable love stories in the English language. In this love story they have to overcome many obstacles just as any normal couple would. Elizabeth has pride that makes her miss judge Darcy on their first time meeting, but Darcy’s prejudice which makes him misjudge Elizabeth because of her poor society standings. “I do, I do like him,” “She replied, with tears in her eyes, “I love him.

Austen 's Pride and Prejudice book shows the differences and similarities of the marriage relationships in the 18th century, through the marriage relationships of Charlotte, Lydia, Jane, and Elizabeth. Jane naturally found someone to marry, her attractive beauty and accessible joyful character helped her easily attract Bingley to her. Young Lydia married Wickham, but she did not know anything about marriage yet. Elizabeth fell in love with Darcy because she realized that he is a special person and that her assumption of him was totally incorrect. On the other hand, Charlotte married Mr. Collins for the reason that she wanted to be secure.

Both the slave handlers and the slaves were human beings separated by the knowledge that comes from education. It is said that education is the premise of progress in every society; it is education that nurtured in Douglas a dream of freedom. If he had stayed in ignorance, he would not have known any other life apart from that of slavery. Even in the current society, acquiring education enables a person to stay current on societal issues while at the same time improving their social and economic development. It is also important, that education and what is taught in schools, remains relevant and current and should encourage freedom and growth in the overall development of individuals and the society as a whole.

As Frederick Douglas starts to become a young adult he starts to stand up against his slave masters. This sends Frederick Douglas to a number of different plantations over the years. Frederick Douglas soon escapes and makes his way to New York and then to Boston, Massachusetts. Frederick Douglass’s slave story is very different than most. One Frederick Douglass realize being an educated negro was the best way to end slavery not just being a free slave, but a free educated slave.

26). From what the captain and Duncan said about Macbeth and how Macbeth had been talked about before we met him, the readers/audience gets the sense that he is a generally a good man. His great wife, Lady Macbeth, even said that Macbeth was too good. “Yet I do fear thy nature; it is too full o’ the milk of human kindness,” (I, v. 16-17). Macbeth’s innocent and pure nature became full of ambition after the witches had promised him great power.

Unlike Rodriguez, Douglass would have been seen as a danger because educated slaves could bring on a revolution and would be seen as an abolitionist with crazy ideas. However, Rodriguez believed that one should immerse oneself into the American way of life which included giving up one's cultural identity for a new and better one. In contrast Frederick Douglass did not want to give up his rich cultural heritage because he understood that without it people would forget the horrors committed to them in the white man’s world. Frederick was an advocate of his heritage and taught others to read and write so he could inform them. Douglass wanted other African Americans to see the world without the fuzzy restriction of old world ideas.

Learning how to do those two things would benefit slaves in many ways but the masters wanted nothing but cruelty to slaves. There were some free African americans during these times and they learned to read and write. Once Frederick learned how to read and write, he realized he could now do something about slavery unlike those who didn’t know how to read or

Jane constantly chooses to disbelieve that Miss. Bingley is trying to separate between her and Mr. Bingley. One example of Janes’ simplicity and falsehood in trusting her emotions is Miss. Bingley’s clear indications that Mr. Bingley should marry Ms. Darcy that are overlooked by Jane,“ My brother admires her greatly already; he will have frequent opportunity now of seeing her on the most intimate footing; her relations all wish the connection as much as his own; and a sister 's partiality is not misleading me, I think, when I call Charles most capable of engaging any woman 's heart.” (chap 21). In this quote, the reader can clearly observe Miss.

She feels that they are full of a kind of potential to be honest and good human beings, however a majority of them seem to belittle women and not show any great character. But men, in her opinion, can also be sensitive and poetic, as she portrays Anne’s love interest Captain Wentworth. Jane Austen’s social mirror reflects her very broken, unfair, Victorian society in an accurate and entertaining way. Her literary catalog is filled with commentary and wit regarding gender inequality, and she did not hesitate to inject her works with her own personal beliefs and thoughts. Austen was a brave individual for putting such hefty arguments into her works, and was a unique author in the ways she could encapsulate her society in such a realistic manner.
