Marxist Analysis Of Paulina Salinas

The Aunts supply the rhetoric that arouses the women to savagery”. This barbarity facilitated by the Aunts, shows that their power may be comparable to that of the Commanders in terms of the amount of power they hold over women. In addition, it is significant to note that the Commanders and the Aunts are the only people allowed to read or write. This power goes along with the Aunts’/Commanders’ perversion of biblical verses, as the rituals of society are built on literal interpretations of the Bible. The Aunts repeatedly use biblical phrases to educate the Handmaids on why they are to submit to the

Before, The Odyssey made the maids appear to be evil. The Penelopiad, though, shows a more innocent side to them. When the situation of the maids having sex with the suitors is brought up in court during Odysseus’ trial, the judge states; “The Suitors raped them. Nobody stopped them from doing so. Also, the maids are described as having been hauled

In the Scottsboro case, Victoria Price declared that nine African-American boys had raped her. Which, later on, in the many trials, people soon find out that she was lying. A definition of the word villain is, “in a film, novel, or play a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot”. In my opinion, Victoria Price’s actions make her a villain according to this definition. Firstly, Victoria is the reason for starting the madness and chaos from the case because she lied to everybody that she had been raped.

When John is finished beating Carol, Carol looks up at him and says “Yes, that’s right.” then goes on to say it to herself. (Mamet 54) I believe that in this moment Carol purposely provoked John with the mention of his wife in order to get him furious enough to physically assault her. Throughout this play, Carol acts

Paglia continues on by saying, “The police and I– have the right to say to you, ‘You stupid idiot, what the hell were you thinking?’”(145). This might be possible for the person who left car key on the hood, but it is very inappropriate and inhumane thing to say to a rape victim. The victim never gave permission to the rapist; going to someone’s room does not mean that she is agreeing to being raped. In my assumption, the author must have made this comparison due to the fact that she was never raped before, which makes her unqualified to make a comparison of such grief to a simple robbery. She also lightly says that, “If I ever got into a dating situation where I was overpowered and raped, I would say, ‘Oh well, I misread the signals.’

This was the concept in how the court charged the cases of each victim. The judges only listened to the girls that lies and just kill everyone that was accused, making the trials unfair. The trials were biased because it all started when a slave, Tituba, was accused of witchcraft. As a slave, she could not defend herself. In fact, many of the accused witches were people who have different religious beliefs from the Puritans or the town dislike the person.

This is a poor excuse for men to touch women in ways since it is in their insticts of sexual desire. These natural insticts of men are shameful and criminal yet some just continue to call it ‘natural’. However, Women and Men are biologically different from one another creating a different way we look at things. Margaret uses the phrases ‘dyke’, ‘butch’, and ‘delusional’. These words have been said if a female shows any characteristics of being strong or aggressive.

A common misconception is that women are a distraction to men due to sexual tension and will distract men from their duties, this ‘distraction’ may also lead to rape due to temptation. Women having experienced rape in the past caused by ‘sexual tension’. An example of the opposition 's argument is that women have been raped by their superiors and were told that if they turn in their rapist they will get in more trouble for underage drinking and their rapist will not get prosecuted for the crime they have committed (Moritz). The opposing side’s point is that the men will become distracted from their duties because of women. The opposition also argues that women becoming a distraction is why they should not be allowed to participate in combat; to prevent distraction and by choosing inequality the opposition can accomplish

Women would be paid money to sleep with men — married or not. This was viewed as illegal fornication by the church, and was thus considered a sin to the religion. However, the church later corrected their words to a paradoxical lesser sin, or necessary sin. In 1458, the Grand Council of Venice declared that prostitution was absolutely indispensable to the world.” Although the medieval society was vehemently against men having sexual encounters with other women than their significant others, most acknowledged that prostitution served as a protection to prevent respectable townswomen (middle, upper class women) from getting sexually harassed, abused, or raped.

The ambiguity is what makes this campaign equally as disturbing as interesting. Looking from the medias point of view, the clear intention of this advert was to glorify rape in an obvious offensive way. They believe that Dolce & Gabbana wanted to make rape seem “appropriate” ("DOLCE AND GABBANA [...]”). The medias assumptions are based on the above-analyzed reasons that are clothing, body language and the robotic expressions that make the rape seem emotionless. Although figure (2) can be seen as the woman holding power over the men, the media thinks that figure (2) does not display a scene of female seduction, but rather objectification ("Dolce and Gabbana Pulls [...]”).

These laws, then, uphold old notions of chastity and virginity, while providing a weapon against men from social groups we do not like. They also deprive women in their mid and late teens of choice under the guise of protecting that choice. The highly “patriarchal and paternalistic” law is what Delgado sees an area for further revue. With the lack of women being charged for such crimes, he questions things such as pressured intercourse and sexual love involving two consenting individuals.

Though, the author had effective points in her article she failed to mention a particular idea that I believe is important. Throughout the article Yuan goes on about how women are targets for rape, how it sucks to be a female, and that women are the only victims of rape. When men can also be victims of this atrocious act. Men can likewise have the same type of trauma and psychological problems as women. The author could have mentioned some movie or TV show where it’s a man is the victim of rape.

There were a few rare sympathizers, however, who identified with Jodi Arias’ anger at being used and lied to by a man and truly believed she murdered him in a fit of rage (Keifer, 2015). This would make the proper ruling manslaughter, and not premeditated murder, as the law dictates different punishments based on the premeditation, or lack thereof, of the killer. These sympathizers could argue that there was not enough mercy awarded by the court due to Jodi’s apparently sympathetic situation. What is the proper balance between mercy and justice? Should justice overrule mercy?

Enrique’s Journey/ Rape in the fields It is time, at last, to speak the truth about Rape in the fields, and Enrique’s Journey. These two documents are more similar than people think. The first similarity between the book and he film. Is that the laws; as we see it are there but are corrupt.

In other words, the rapes that included more violence included acts such as being held down, slapped around and seriously injured while on the other hand less violent rapes may include verbal abuse so victims may not acknowledge this is still rape even if they were not seriously injured (Burgess et al., pg.376). In addition, fear of the legal system is another reason of not reporting rape. The legal system can alter the victim’s decision to
