Curley’s wife is not dedicated to Curley as she has the eye for other men (pg 28, p4). Evidently Curley’s wife isn’t loyal to him as she doesn’t bother hiding her interest in other people. Since she has no dedication to him, their partnership is broken. Curley’s wife doesn’t care about Curley at all which is shown when he gets into a fight and she expresses her appreciation of him getting injured (pg 81, p11). She has no respect for her husband and doesn’t show any concern for him.

Each person will manipulate and handle the other until the time that one of them gets bored, hurt, or just leaves the imbroglio. In this story, the mistress starts out trying to prove herself morally, intellectually, and physically superior through comparison to others and learns this will not serve her in life.

Similar to Howardena Pindell’s mimicking of a white woman in her production of Free, White, and 21, Mignon’s performance as a white woman highlighted “the distance between identification and imitation” as Mignon seems to not have as much pride in her genetic whiteness, but uses her light skin to imitate whiteness in order to benefit herself and other black people (McMillan). As stated in Uri McMillan’s chapter regarding Howardena Pindell, Stuart Hall stated that black people have “worked on ourselves as the canvases of representation. […] Black cultural actors skillfully manipulated their bodies as if it was, and often it was, the only cultural capital we had.” (McMillan) Mignon mentions how she thought there was nothing her for me, implying that as her true self, and thus showing her reasoning behind masquerading as a white woman.

Chaucer’s Portrayal of the Wife of Bath The Wife of Bath presents the reader with a woman who compiles to the stereotypes corresponding with the negative misogyny of women during the medieval times. Wife of Bath is viewed the same as this stereotypical woman. Some can agree with Chaucer’s choice of these negative traits of The Wife of Bath, but the same conclusion is always met. Chaucer chooses to display the Wife of Bath as a misogynistic symbol of negative traits in order to use her as an object of mockery.

Deep down, those were my words” (Jay Asher 173).

(1 31). With a quick reading here, the audience may think that someone died, but Wharton uses this quote is to express that someone has not died, but the situation is worse than death, if that can be possible. Every detail of Wharton’s writing serves an important role, everything has meaning and is well-planned. Some important characteristics to keep in mind while reading her writing are foreshadowing, vocabulary, imagery, and structure. An interesting point is that that Wharton does not always express her emotions through a female mind, although her large concerns are

Elizabeth half ironically states that Mr. Darcy suffers from no defect. This interaction is a prime example of how both characters each still wear their pride and prejudices assumptions on their sleeves. Elizabeth's convection in herself causes Darcy to continue to view her in a different light. Elizabeth strives to maintain the independence of her mind, while other girls might have been at pains to humor Mr. Darcy and endorse whatever opinion he might have expressed. However, Elizabeth does not humor Darcy thus figuratively draws him closer to

In the results of the research, multitasking seemed to be agreed upon all the participants. In particular, a female said that texting while having a face-to-face conversation is rude, but her jester would relay to the receiver that she was disinterested in the conversation (Hemmer). In other words, she was using her non-verbal communication skills to communicate to the receiver that her text conversation was more important than the one they were having.

No woman is allowed to be angry. This is the message that is subliminally delivered by those who tend to accuse the anger of a woman as a played-out weapon. For far too long has the uproar of unjust accusations made by women been disregarded as an emotionally biased issue. This has caused a great many of women to restrain their tongues before speaking their true and pure opinion. They fear persecution and that their whole argument will not be taken heavily if the delivery is not well thought out and calmly delivered.

In chapter three of The Hypersexulaity of Race: Performing Asian/ American Women on Screen and Scene, Celine Parreñas Shimizu explains the historical and performative impacts of stereotypical oriental femininity in Hollywood. She presents her argument by analyzing the movie stars, Anna May Wong, Nancy Kwan, and Lucy Liu. Importantly, Shimizu goes beyond simply pointing out the issue of stereotypical representations and delves into analyzing the roles and responsibilities of the viewers and performers within representation. To begin, Shimizu directly addresses how hyper-sexuality has been tied to Asian/ American women with countless examples from the acting careers of Wong, Kwan, and Liu. An example is The World of Suzie Wong (1960).

The novel Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta and the magazine article, The Good Wife’s Guide, originally published in ‘Housekeeping Monthly’ in 1955, explore the gender roles of the stereotypical 1950’s housewife and how they should behave. These texts also investigate the idea that women are treated differently from men and some impacts that growing up in a sexist and single minded society can have on the youth of the community. Gender stereotyping someone is to discriminate them because of their gender, making the assumption that they obtain a certain characteristic or trait because of their gender.
