  • Feminist Len In Augustine's Confessions

    As stated earlier, Augustine believes females are inherently emotional and innately irrational, so his mind believes she says “Are you incapable of doing what these men and women have done?” (VIII.27). With Lady Continence as a driving force for Augustine’s continued anguish and dissatisfaction in life, Augustine then “cries, “How long, how long is it to be… Why not put an end to my impure life this very hour” and hears the voice of a child telling him to flip to a specific spot in the Bible (VIII.28). Augustine flips open to Matthew 19:21 and reads: “Go, sell all you have, give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me” (VII.29). As Augustine “cried out loud… I acknowledged inwardly what I read in external words.

These versions appear to come from three different groups of authors called the Jahwist Source, the Priestly Source and the Redactor Source. The first version, from Genesis 1:1-31 to 2:1-3 by the Priestly Source, followed by the second version, from Genesis 2:4-25 by the Jahwist Source and Redactor Source.

  • Summary Of Wikked Wyves By Jankin

    188 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Wife claims to represent female voices – and her tale consists of a set of women representing each other. The raped maiden is represented by the queen, who in turn is represented by the lothly lady, who in turn becomes a beautiful lady: the image which precedes her appearance is, appropriately, twenty-four ladies apparently vanishing into one. The Wife speaks on behalf of women everywhere: and against the male clerks who have written the antifeminist literature that Jankin reads in his book of “wikked wyves”. It is odd then, that the Wife, who claims to stand for “experience”, spends much of her prologue dealing with written “authority”, glossing the Bible in precisely the manner she criticizes the clerks for doing. The Wife is against
