In Evidence of Things Unseen, Wiggins uses Christian imagery to reveal character traits that differ from what their actions show. The first example is shown with Earl Jr. After Early’s death, Earl Jr. was clearly devastated. Opal and Fos found him broken, but he thought he “could be a fisherman”(164). Even though he mistakes Jesus’ occupation, a fisherman was the occupation of another prominent figure, Peter. Similarly, Earl shows the ability to move on and belief in the future. Furthermore, Earl chooses to leave everything behind and began on a new journey. The imagery is further shown with Mrs.Gallagher and Chance’s relationship with Lally. Mrs.Gallagher appearance was noted to be similar to the “Virgin Mary”(164), which fits her perceived

hardcore, stoic, cowboy. John Wayne’s nickname, the Duke, even presents an image of authority; however, this on-screen persona does not compare to the man behind it - though, what man’s character could possibly fill that enormous stature and reputation.

Throughout the years of my life i have moved in and out of many houses, but none of them was as important to me as the one on Burrell street. This house although was small was also comfortable. The backyard had a garden. Fresh smell of vegetables filled the air. It was always taken care by my mom, sister, and I. The house was filled with many things that meant the world to me. Love filled the house as if it wanted to take over the air. The love that my family and I had for each other blew the roof of the house off, A clean, fresh lemon scented living room. My mom once told me that home isn’t a place it’s a feeling. The tv always had that buzzing sound before it shuts off. The furnace sighed one last time before it would always shut off. I

Behn’s status as a female gives us better understanding of what it was like to be in a lower position than males. Behn takes advantage of her voice being heard and speaks with pronouns such as “I” that shows she takes part in the story. She observed and recorded Oroonoko’s life and states “I was my self an Eye-Witness to a great part” (Behn 8). In Surinam, Behn met Oroonoko and heard of his life before, then witnesses and hears of his life till his horrific death. “His misfortune was, to fall in an obscure World, that afforded only a Female Pen to celebrate his Fame” (Spencer 215). The story of Oroonoko couldn’t of been written by someone who understands it better than herself. She has “as much authority as a male writer and also with special
What would humans be like if we didn’t have fears? How would the world work if not one human had a single fear? Would we be going on that roller coaster without a second thought or would we be strapping up and jumping off of that bridge? If nobody had
In Ovid’s Metamorphoses many of the women are portrayed in a lesser light in comparison to the males. In this example, Scylla has just pulled out her father’s magical purple hair that keeps their country safe from intruders. Her infatuation with King Minos has led her to betray her family and her people which makes her seem irrational. The imagery created from these lines paints a picture of a weak, illogical woman who will do anything for a male to return her love.
One of the most important relationships humans have is the relationship they have with their mothers. The bond between a mother and her daughter starts from the day she has her baby girl. When a little girl grows up, she idolizes her Mom. She wants to look like her, act like her, and even do exactly what she does. When someone has a positive connection with their mother, they feel like they can open up in any way to her. If their relationship is the total opposite, then they would not have good communication or a memorable bond. In the book '"The Help", it displays both sides of a mother, daughter relationship. It shows the hurt and rejection that a relationship can bring between Mom's and daughters, but also the happiness and joy. There are two kinds of relationships that can be built between mother and daughters and The Help expresses both.
Psychologist Erik Erikson has a theory that assumes that there are eight psychosocial stages of development throughout a person's lifetime. At each stage, a pivotal personal crisis (psycho) resulting in social amelioration (social) should occur for the person to have a healthy sense of self. Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night highlights the dysfunctional Tyrone family, all of which have a difficult time identifying their personal crises while navigating societal pressures. Therefore, according to Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, each member of the Tyrone family is tragically stuck in their own dilatory stages of social self-realization.
