Evolution Of Names In Ayn Rand's Anthem

This is a way that Rand is showing individuality because the first step to seeing people as one not as humanity is by falling in love with one person. In the novel Equality says “‘You are beautiful, Liberty 5-3000.’ Their face did not move and they did not avert their eyes. Only their eyes grew wider, and there was triumph in their eyes, and it was not triumph over us, but over things we could not guess. ‘We shall look upon you, Liberty 5-3000, if we see you among all the women of the earth’”(Rand 42).

In a way i am exactly like her because i don’t care about hurting someone’s feelings, i feel like when i hurt someone’s feelings it’s the Karma, I am their Karma. I really like that she isn’t such a cry baby. She is a very closed person she doesn’t like showing feelings. I don’t like showing feelings either.

If he had not deserted her, she would have remained his faithful wife. In the end, however, she even tells him that he has been wronged by her. Hester is truly a kind and generous

Even though she “could not endure a / husband with a beard on his face” and “[would] rather lie in / [discomfort]” she still abides by the fundamental standards set by the patriarchy(2.1.29-31). A free-thinking, independent women like Beatrice would stand out in Shakespeare’s Elizabethan society. The comedic value of her character is brought on by her argumentative and domineering personality that would classify most other women of the time as an outlier of society. But through Hero’s malleable nature, an audience of any time period, whether it be the late 1500’s, or the early 2000’s, can catch a glimpse and even gain perspective as to the hardships that matriarchs faced with the absurd amount of requirements needed to please men. For the most part, Shakespeare uses Hero and Beatrice to emphasize one another’s differences, however, they both ultimately befall the fate of any women of their era.

A woman is independent, resourceful, reliable, and strong. They don 't care for what others say nor do they care about how they are perceived. A woman has no need for the finer things because she can appreciate the smaller things unlike a girl who thrives off of new and popular everything. A girl craves positive attention and would have a panic attack if she were given anything but that. She 's use to everything being handed to her.

Prejudice and fear are weak barriers against passions, which inherent in our nature and demanding only judicious training to form the ornament, and supply the best joys of our existence, are maddened into violence, varied with as pernicious indulgence.” (Doc #2) The efforts made by the feminist movement of the Antebellum-era set forth a precedent for the expansion of women’s rights in the decades following and up until present day. The patriarchal society that had controlled the nation since its birth was finally met with opposition from those who had been oppressed for so long. Through the dismissal of restrictive gender roles and expectations, the voices of women were finally allowed to influence decision making, and ultimately create changes that would promote equal opportunity for all

What is incredible about this woman is her Cynic rhetoric, her nonconformity to traditional gender roles, and her embodiment of anaideia, or shamelessness. As a teenager, she decided to adopt the Cynic ideology when she fell in love with Crates the Cynic, whom she later married. By marrying a Cynic, even though they see marriage as a social institution, thus unsuitable for someone with this creed, she performed her first Cynic deed of “changing the currency” (parakraitten to nomismata). This term “implied rejection of the prevailing social and political order in favor of an unconventional, self-sufficient life as a ‘citizen of the universe’ (kosmopolites)” (Piering, “Hipparchia”). By doing this, Hipparchia went against the societal expectations that were set up for her by her family and

Suimay Lee Ms. Meister AP English 3/31/16 Edna Awakens from Freedom The title of Kate Chopin 's book ​"The Awakening"​concludes on Edna 's character as a whole on how life awakens her. As a feminist role, Edna who is viewed as not being able to do anything, is married to a rich man, and is under circumstances meaning that her lack of power and weaknesses leads to her suicide at the end of the novel. The title of the book ​"The Awakening"​ties in with Edna who acknowledges that she can willingly do anything to overcome herself from a feminist view realizing her independence can get in the way of her view of the world, the love sacrifices she faces, and the difficulties she faces trying to find herself.

She carries herself in a most peculiar manner and is prone to spouting similarly peculiar adages and maxims – both traits rendered humorous or, perhaps, more peculiar by way of the conviction with which Arabella showcases them – but one cannot deny that her eccentricities imbue her with a sense of authority and power that no one else in The Female Quixote seems to wield. Arabella adheres to fanciful, unusual moral and social codes, but her adherence to these lends her a great deal of power: because she does not feel the need to adhere to them, she is not bound by societal norms or standards and is therefore free to flout them and liberate herself from them in a way that no other character can. She states, for instance, that “Since Love is not voluntary, I am not obliged to any Person for loving me…” (44). In that it clashes with what society has determined to be the appropriate or “proper” response to learning of another individual’s affections (for you), Arabella’s is a radical statement – but it is also an undeniably liberatory one. Reading French romances might have imbued Arabella’s emotions and opinions with a certain loftiness (that would have likely not existed otherwise), but reading French romances has also led to Arabella’s understanding that her emotions and opinions – lofty as they may be – are valid.

Leslie Gore was a great advocate for these movements with her hit single “You Don’t Own Me”. To be honest this whole song has a very strong and repetitive message and that is “ I don’t tell you what to do/I don’t tell you what to say” this is an out cry for equality in the relationship between a woman and a man at the time. In todays age it would still mean the same thing regardless of the gender that the relationships are comprised of. Another important piece of this song is essentially what the title says “ You Don’t Own Me.” This simple line right here means so much.

In the controlled society depicted in Anthem, love between two people is illegal. When the main character, Equality 7-2521, finds himself in love with a woman, Liberty 5-3000, he doesn 't really know what to do. Yet in the end, his love for Liberty 5-3000 does overpower all of his other emotions and feelings, and pushes him towards rejecting all that his society has taught him. The same thing happens to Liberty 5-3000, too, who eventually chooses to place her love for Equality 7-2521 above everything else. Although, Rand’s writing captures the reader easily because this is written as sort of a collection of thoughts from Equality 7-2521.

Hester clearly fits into Edward 's description of an ideal Puritan woman. In his essay, he writes, “Is most just and conscientious in all her actions; and you could not persuade her to do anything wrong or sinful. ”(Edwards). As stated by Edwards, an ideal Puritan woman should be consistently selfless and kind, not just pretending to at certain times. Also, a kind spirit should not be easily influenced by surrounding negativity.

The Beautiful Are Damned In This Side of Paradise Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald’s writings showed the positive and negative sides of the American Dream, and it challenged the traditional upbringings to create a more independent identity for the American woman. Through Zelda’s free spirited lifestyle, Scott gained his inspiration for his writing. Her lifestyle only became wilder, driving Scott away from her and into the arms of another woman. The large wedge forced between their marriage began to have a negative effect on both of their writing styles.

You could have an internal flaw like by being rude. While Alymer doesn 't like Georgiana 's birthmark, she loves it because she understands it 's meaning. He thinks it 's ugly, but Georgiana thinks of it as something that makes her the person that she is. Some how, Alymer got the idea that he should get rid of her birthmark, and that it will give him power. Alymer also

Anthem is a novella by Ayn Rand, telling a story of a futuristic and collective society, where there are no individuals. In this society, there is little to no technology of any sorts. Even less than there was when this novella was written in the late 1930’s. Candles are their main source of light, and there is no electricity. All because there is no freedom for people to seek out new information and discover new things.
