Both the play Real Women Have Curves by Josefina Lopez and the movie adaptation make an attempt to communicate the message of female empowerment through their respective protagonists, Estela and Ana. Men resolve most of Ana’s problems, whereas Estela relies on herself and other women.

Carol Karlsen 's The Devil in the Shape of a Woman: Witchcraft in Colonial New England provides a sociological and anthropological examination of the witchcraft trends in early New England. By examining the records, Karlsen has created what she suggests was the clichéd 'witch ' based on income, age, marital status, etc. She argues that women who had inherited or stood to inherit fairly large amounts of property or land were at particular risk, as they "stood in the way of the orderly transmission of property from one generation of males to the next." These women, Karlsen suggests, were targeted largely because they refused to accept "their place" in colonial society.

Each woman is described, as in Frankenstein, relative to their position to men and how they interacted with men. Moving past Jonathan’s time in Transylvania and back to London, the two main women, Mina and Lucy, are both markedly feminine. They don’t do anything that is “improper” by society’s standards, which makes them worthy of the respect and attention that the male characters pay them. For both, however, their femininity is both a

From the beginning of human time, snakes and serpents have been a symbol of evil power and chaos from the underworld, as well as a symbol of fertility, life and healing. A great deal of snakes are considered to be evil and bitter, but, most are friendly, such as a garter snake. For example, our world today is full of unexpected, corrupt and malicious entities that desire to gain possession over our country, right of religion and freedom of speech and second amendments.

The people of our nation should not evil and distasteful powers of this world overcome us, but, we, as powerful, mighty and strong willed individuals, overcome fear, as a

Marlow and Kurtz both agree that women symbolism the goodness in humanity. They are the decency and purity that is left in the world, especially with all the evil that Marlow and Kurtz’s eyes have seen.
