Ismene’s unwillingness to participate in the burial of her brother, demonstrates her compliant and submissive disposition towards men and authority. “We are only women, we cannot fight with men, Antigone! The law is strong, we must give into the law. In this thing, and in worse” (Sophocles 46-49). In this sense, Ismene is the character who contracts with Antigone because both of them have very dissimilar views about the power of men over women.
The female characters of As I Lay Dying do face hardships, but characters such as Dewey Dell and Cora set themselves up for it, rather than following in Addie’s footsteps. They are controlled by the patriarch-driven society and chose to accept it. Addie however, refuses to conform to this norm and ultimately leads her to not face the hardships the other women
Samantha Hoppe – The Virginian (Novel) and The Ballad of Little Jo Journal Entry “But he expressed nothing, as usual” (Virginian, 37). The stereotypical cowboy in a Western never lets his words flow. He keeps his sentences short and to the point, usually to show that he holds power over his acquaintances. However, cue a pretty woman, and all that may change.
Lady Macbeth is VERY not steriotypical. She is pretty much the exact oppoisite of what we would believe women would be. Mostly, women are believed to be kinder, gentler, less evil than men. But Lady Macbeth, she is polar opposite of what women are usually supposed to be.
Their differences can be called upon just as easily as their similarities can some of which are the places and people they empower. Unlike Samantha Nutt, Malala is unable to go back to her own country and faces death threats on the daily. Not only that, but Mala also wants the betterment of all women and the places she wants to help don 't only stop at her own country, dissimilar to Samantha Nutt. These variances don’t only lie in how they try to promote these ideals but also in the amount of opposition they face. Samantha Nutt faces little if any opposition whilst Malala has been shot and persecuted because of her views.
Aleyn reduces her value, making her an undesirable woman for marriage since chastity is desired more than an experienced woman. Afterwards, Symkyn is punished by the wife and two scholars because he fails to control his women and is inevitably isolated with manhood. Unluckily, Symkyn cannot withhold social statuses or break down social barriers since he cannot maintain authority. John and Aleyn are worshipped in the tale, because they were able to hold their power, despite their lesser
When Lady Macbeth is compared to Lady Macduff, they are very different. Lady Macduff embodies what motherhood should look like and she does not invest her time creating evil plots to kill other people. Whereas on the other hand, Lady Macbeth, not as bound to household duties, she sharpens her knowledgeable capabilities for the use of her own and the power which she holds. This is a very untraditional and unnatural factor that a woman would hold. Lady Macbeth also is seen as the more dominant role in the Macbeth marriage.
Ultimately, it is these differences that give rise to ideas of cultural superiority including white supremacy. In Mandeville’s account of his travels, he describes the people he visits as uncivilized savages, in an effort to paint his native Western society as civilized. When properness is only described within the framework of Western society, it is not difficult to classify people of cultures that differ from the “default” Western culture as uncivilized savages. One recurring example of this is Mandeville’s use of nakedness. Mandeville notes how unusual it is that “the men and women go naked, and glory in it” (Mandeville 7) while those “of better breeding” (Mandeville 5) make attempts to conceal their bodies.
Even she seems to have lost her “muchness”. b- It wasn’t a dream, it’s memory: Alice understands that “Underland “is a real place, it’s not fantasy as she has thought. In the film, we can see that she pinches herself so as to wake up but it doesn’t work.
Antigone was not married but she was also conformed within most of these rules and regulations, although she was not like most of the other girls due to the fact that she told Ismene “From mine own He has no right to stay me”, referring to Creon. She was not bothered by risking her own life by going against her future uncle-in-laws orders, or by going against the norms of society. Antigone is seen in these plays as a self-righteous feminist, determined to do what she feels is right even if she is breaking the law. Antigone has major respect for the dead and believes they deserve special treatment. Her devotion to respecting her dead brother leads to her own death, and the death of Creon’s son and wife by the form of
Cabeza survived because of his respect for the indians. Cabeza De Vaca teaches that respect is very important. He would not have been able to survive without respect for the indians. “Cabeza learned four Indian languages including Charrucos, plus sign language” to show respect.
The reason why the Lakota elders and the Native Americans have not been able to see eye to eye with the rest of the Americans is because for the Americans the most important is freedom, while for an American Indian the most important thing is honor. The Lakota Americans are about the practice of generosity and sharing, which is the heart of the
The Savage Reservation is the complete opposite of the controlled and mechanical society of the New World. Every aspect of each society contradicts that of the other. The Savage Reservation is a dystopia for the indians, but is also a home to those who don 't fit in any society, such as John and Linda. The people of the Savage Reservation believe in marriage and family, which is similar to those of our society and contrasts that of the New World. Unlike the people of the New World, babies aren’t born in test tubes, which is one of the reasons why linda moved there.
(_Antigone). Even when compared with the dishonorable deaths of her family members, Ismene believes that going against the will of a monarch is worse. Ismene is the polar opposite of Antigone, she is complacent and law abiding where Antigone defies the law in accordance with her own values. This has taught her that she and Antigone are “weak women, [...], Not framed by nature to contend with men” (_Antigone). As the case of Ismene shows, faith in law, and the following the societal expectations, creates someone who is largely complacent.
