325 Words2 Pages

The study of these two novel shows how different people deal with the after effects of the same problem that is ‘Child Abuse’. In contemporary urban society, this problem of child abuse is of much prominence.
Child abuse at times happens due to the neglect of parents towards their children because of their busy work-life schedule and so the outside world take advantage of the innocent children. Like in the novel, Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult, since both the parents were bread-earners, they did not pay much attention to their growing child and one day the child is abused by the priest. The irony of the novel is that the mother of the abused child, who herself is shown as a lawyer did not know about the case of her own child.

  • Feminism In Oranges

    1724 Words  | 7 Pages

    The position of the mother as a foster mother, which allowed Jeanette to better experience feelings of resentment in the past, seems to facilitate her ability to forgive her adoptive maternal figure too. The final reconciliation makes it possible to describe the novel as a ‘feminist family romance’, according to the definition provided by Marianne Hirsch. For Hirsch, feminist family romances are those novels where the development of female subjectivity and self-empowerment is determined by the continuation of the mother-daughter relationship, as opposed to the previous common rejection of the maternal figure theorized, amongst others, by Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray. The bond within mother and daughter is reevaluated and comes to be considered as an important site for female development and a basis for a vision of gender difference and female specificity.

  • Summary Of Like Water For Chocolate By Laura Esquivel

    1214 Words  | 5 Pages

    When Tita was wrongfully accused of sabotaging Rosaura and Pedro’s wedding, she received a beating like never before, and “[Tita] spent two weeks in bed recovering from her bruises” (Esquivel ch.2). Even Tita, being no stranger to abuse, was shocked by how brutally she was scolded that night, which suggests an increasing tension and a nearby turning point in the novel. Unfortunately, a parent may resort to child abuse when verbal communication fails, and expressing frustration through physical means appears as the only other option. Another reason for violence is if a parent already possesses their own feelings of guilt, self-hate, debilitating insecurities, or past experiences of abuse. In no way do these reason justify the cruelty, but they simply aim to provide an understand of it.

  • Patrick Suskind's Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer

    847 Words  | 4 Pages

    Patrick Suskind, the author of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, writes a riveting story about a wonderfully talented boy, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, and his tragic journey through life which is infused with psychotic episodes. Jean-Baptiste’s journey can be further investigated by applying Carl Jung’s concept of archetype in his theory of the human psyche where he believes that archetypes reside within the “collective unconscious” of people all over the world. One such archetypal situation is observed throughout the book, which highlights Jean-Baptiste’s Loss of Innocence, his Resurrection, which is ultimately followed by his Unhealable Wound. Jean-Baptiste is always seen losing a fraction of his innocence throughout the span of his childhood. He is borne of a mother who commits infanticide, at a

  • Old Woman Magoun Analysis

    1574 Words  | 7 Pages

    The love of a child can be one of the core motivators for a parent, and the deep desire that a parent has for their child to succeed, can often trump any kind of sense of morality that a person may have. This deep kind of love begs the question of how much love is too much, and if that love is threatened, what extreme consequences may occur. Old Woman Magoun, in Mary E. Wilkins Freeman’s Old Woman Magoun, puts her love for her granddaughter above her her sense of morality, and in the same way, Pau Lin in Sui Sin Far’s The Wisdom of the New, shows the desperation that parents can have. Parents and even guardians need to be careful of selfish love, and of how much this love can cater to their own needs and desires. Old Woman Magoun is a desperate, fearful, overprotective woman that clings to her granddaughter, as if she is her own.
