Lawrence tries to show that a woman of the upper class can be attracted to a man of the working class, and he probably means Clifford 's paralysis to symbolize the paralysis of the ruling class. But I don 't know what to make of Mellors, who didn 't seem to love Constance in any way other than physically. And the ending wasn 't satisfying: it seemed to just slip …show more content…
The romantic scenes and language here are tame by modern standards, and the extreme behavior and willingness to flout convention by Connie and Mellors may be less realistic, than what would make sense to a modern reader. While the plot of Lady Chatterley’s Lover criticizes this civilized and mechanized violence of the super-ego, it also uses it in the form of satire to formulate this very critique, which contributes to the ambivalence in the novel’s relationship with

A person is not always good nor bad. Lady Audley’s versatility as a character for embodying opposite archetypes does not simply relate to a mental disorder. Beyond madness, the fact that a character can be both an angel in the house and a femme fatale only highlight a reality: people do not have only one personality, we are composed of behaviors depending on the context. Of course, Lady Audley’s opposition of good and bad is more exaggerated though this does not mean people always behave good or bad; they behave both. Therefore, Lady Audley becomes an escape for people’s oppression from the expectations of society.

Austen and Proposals: Why the lack of feeling? Throughout all of Jane Austen’s works, courtship and marriage both play central roles and their dominant presence reflects the importance of women finding a respectable husband during Austen’s time. However, while marriage proposals between two lovers are often high points in novels, Austen treats them almost as an afterthought. Critic G. H. Lewes in an 1859 review deemed that this apparent lack of emotion was a characteristic flaw on Austen’s writing, “She has little or no sympathy with what is picturesque and passionate.
While the show progressed well, the end didn’t bring as satisfying a conclusion as it could
Firstly, love is presented as a force that represses but also one that can facilitate this resistance against repression. As critic Malcolm Bradbury affirms, A Room with a View “shows both continuity and conflict.” It explores how conventions in terms of love are simply carried across the generations, but also how they can be challenged. In A Room with a View, Lucy Honeychurch has two very varied romantic relationships. The first with Cecil whom, as George asserts, “should know no-one intimately, least of all a woman .”

However, books are misconstrued as something harmful due to the constant censorship by the government. In reality, these women are filling a void which was not present in their impractical lives that comprised of multiple loveless marriages and television screens. Similarly, Mildred fails to resonate with Montag when he conveys that books may be the answer to their emptiness: “ ‘God Millie don’t you see ?’... Mildred snatched the phone ‘Yes the white clown is on t.v.’ ” (102).

Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca has captivated audiences since its initial release in 1938. Upon its initial publication, the novel did not receive the kind of critical acclaim one might expect from a novel with the commercial success at the time of its first publication and with such lasting influence. Sally Beauman writes in the afterword to the novel that while “some critics acknowledged the book’s haunting power and its vice-like narrative grip, but — perhaps misled by the book’s presentation, or prejudiced by the gender of the author — they delved no deeper” (Beauman 431). The novel was not merely overlooked, however. With the novel following the “the archetypal scenario for all those mildly thrilling romantic encounters between a scowling Byronic hero (who owns a gloomy mansion) and a trembling heroine (who can’t quite figure out the mansion’s floorplan)” (Gilbert and Gubar 337), it was and often continues to be seen as a rewriting of Jane Eyre into a more modern timeframe.
Ophelia is able to reveal to Polonius that Hamlet has affection for her. “‘He hath my lord, of late made many tenders of affection to me!’... ‘do you believe his tenders as you call them?” Ophelia wants to believe that Hamlet is being sincere revealing a feminine way to look at an affair, but Polonius shuts down her perceptions about Hamlet. Feminist analysis comes into play with the male intentions versus the female emotions.
