471 Words2 Pages

Response on “The Golden Woman” and “Hatred in The Golden Woman” “The Golden Woman” tells a tale about a beautiful girl named Natalie, who is tortured by an evil witch. The witch’s name is Gertrude. Gertrude hates Natalie because of how beautiful she is. She casts a spell on Natalie that turns her into pure gold. At the end, Gertrude’s daughter, Emma, saves Natalie and finds out that they are really sisters. The author includes many plot twists in this story. In Jessica Guzman’s review of “The Golden Woman”, she states that Natalie is “known for her kindness”.

  • Dehumanization Of Women In The 1700's Essay

    Essentially, marriage in the 1700’s was seen merely as a means of birthing heirs and finding a way to financially support yourself, so it resulted in both men and women being devalued. It is universally known that women were often treated as inept and helpless rather than sophisticated people with autonomy and capabilities. In fact, during this time, “married women were consistently compared with minor children and the insane-- both categories of people considered incapable of caring for themselves. To marry a woman was, in one sense, to ‘adopt’ her-- or at least to adopt responsibility for all the circumstances of life with which she entered the marriage” (Teachman 39). Furthermore, when women got married, they would legally cease to exist.

  • Female Archetypes In The Golden Ass

    1513 Words  | 7 Pages

    While men have always featured prominently throughout history, women tend to be more of an afterthought, and especially in fiction, women tend to fall into strict archetypes that allow very little deviation. This holds true in Apuleius’ novel The Golden Ass, but many of the female characters also exhibit great agency and power that women in other Roman stories tended not to have. There is a wide range of female archetypes in this book but they are also deep and complex characters that should not be pigeon-holed into one category. One of the first complex female characters that Lucius, the main character, meets in The Golden Ass is the servant girl Photis. While Lucius is staying with his friend Milo, Lucius’ aunt Byrrhena warns him of Milo’s wife, Pamphile, who practices witchcraft, she tells him instead to turn his attention to Photis, saying on page 22, “So even though it has its hazards, Photis must be your target (Apuleius).”
