The Time Of The Butterflies Courage Analysis

(Kennedy and Gioia 238). The moment that Elisa feels her power and validity is being threatened she puts her guard up. When Henry told her she looked nice it came across as him trying to minimize her and keep her in the place society has put her in. She needed to hear him call her strong to validate to him and herself that she is more than society makes her out to be. Elisa wants to feel strong because she knows deep down that she is not as strong as she imagines herself to be.

While modern dance had historically aspired to high seriousness and spirituality, Tharp's work was edgy.” Tharp expanded the boundaries of contemporary performance and modern dance through her over exaggerated and unpredictable movements danced to pop, classical music, or silence.

Also while trying to persuade Ismene Antigone tries to emphasize the harsh reality to Ismine hoping that she will then change her mind. She does this by quoting Creon when he says, “No one shall bury him. No one shall mourn for him” (190). Here Antigone uses the pathos appeal, again appealing to Ismines emotions.
