Socioeconomic Class Reflection

In the Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller and The Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, Willy Loman and Walter Younger are very much alike. Some things that they have in common are that they both need money to take care of their families, they both treat their wives poorly, and they both fail to become rich and known. That is just a couple of things that Willy Loman an Walter Younger have in common. One thing that Willy and Walter have in common is that they both need to make money to take care of their families. In The Raisin in the Sun Walter wanted to start a business and make a lot of money.

Mama grew up in a harsh time frame, when being free and having families together was all that mattered. But since times have changed, Walter has grown up by being “free”. This argument goes on throughout the play, Walter feels as if money is more significant than being free. In A Raisin in the Sun, readers know that money and family are the two main components, whereas Death of a Salesman people can come up with other ideas of themes. Lorraine Hansberry’s complex storyline paired with her complex character, Mama, unfolded a prominent theme of family is more important than

Another reason they are not a traditional family is because of how they have to live. Estevan is a trained English teacher but is working nights at a restaurant to make money since he can not get a real job because he is an illegal immigrant. They also have very little possessions in their name compared to how normal families live. This is shown when Estevan and Esperanza are leaving with Taylor to go to a safe house in Oklahoma. “Estevan and Esperanza had one suitcase between them and it was smaller then mine...I had packed for a week, ten days at the outside, and they were packed for the rest of their lives.” (Kingsolver 251).

To women who don’t take action about inequality and men who don’t support women, Inequality is all around the world. It is hardly unique in United States. Women always seemed the weak people in the family. Traditionally men were the ones who were supposed to go to work and make money, while women were at home doing housework or taking care of the children. And because men are the ones earning money, they automatically become the decision maker in the family, because as everyone thinks whoever has money is powerful.

For many families, a daughters’ purpose was to marry a man who could sustain their family with financial security. Marriage was their main goal in their life, much like that of the Bennet family. These social constructs were buried deep into the lives of many men and women, and most women abided firmly to these rules, many with pride. From reading Austen’s novel, Pride and Prejudice however, it is clear that Austen was one of the few women of this time, who did not wish to condone these rules of a patriarchal society. She portrays these views through the depictions of her female

For example, in a marriage and household, it is women who most experience. Women rights such as the selection of work, sexual control, and reproduction are seldom to be got or have not been able to fully enjoy because of the hegemony of patriarchal ideology in all areas of life. However, in A Doll’s house, Nora is a weak creature who is always marginalized when dealing with her husband. In economy, Nora always obeys her husband in using the money because Nora who not works in public cannot earn money. From the explanation above, the writer finds the practice of patriarchy to be a serious problem in the society where women cannot free in doing any activities in public area.

Due to my upbringing, I found myself to have a deep care for the elderly, children and homeless people. I have a soft spot in my heart that genuinely cares for others and to nurture them. For that reason, I also became indecisive because I consider everyone’s feelings and it creates a tougher decision for me. Even the simplest decisions like “where to eat” or “where should we go” are all difficult questions that I struggle making a decision for. As a child, I saw my aunt as the male figure of the house because she provided for the family and I naturally picked up the same characteristics as her to mold me into a better

A marriage needed the support of two families, and as such, it must offer something of value to both sides. Those who are poor and at the bottom of the class ladder had little and expected even less so it is unlikely that they arranged marriages with the needs of the parents in mind, but the aristocrats and the upper classes did, and young girls were in no position to fight their parents even on something as important as the choice of a marriage partner. Over the years, there was an increase in women’s economic power and in their status in society, but a father’s right both in theory and in practice to choose at least the first husband of a daughter remained constant throughout the Republic and the Empire. Unlike mating which was polygamous, marriage in ancient Rome was monogamous in which a
