Women Of Women And Women In A Doll's House

This quote indicates that Abigail Williams is a selfish antagonist because she is lying about something that is clearly noticeable. Some people may argue that Abigail isn’t the only one to blame, as in there are many others to blame for the loss of many lives. Mary Warren also played a

In Ethan Frome, it is present between Ethan and his wife Zeena; Zeena attempts to get rid of the housekeeper Mattie because she sees what Ethan wants/ sees in her. There is large amounts of mistrust in the Frome household due to much isolation, sickness, and also unequal work load also “when the sense of a partnership is lacking-when your partner is oblivious to or inconsiderate of your needs, this weakens the ties that hold you together” (text 2, lines 26-27). In The Scarlett Letter, Hester Prynne has deep seated mistrust due to the ‘brand’ on the chest, the ‘A’. Hester is full of mistrust because the one she committed adultery with, was also the one that helped with her sentence. Another factor is that her old husband was healing Dimmsdale, her ‘illegitimate’ lover.

She has to hide her true self to avoid the wrath of her husband. Unfortunately, because she has to hide her true self so often, she's started to lose pieces of who she once was. Orleanna was “so thoroughly bent to the shape of marriage [she] could hardly see any other way to stand” (201). She does not remember her single life, and has become so deeply invested in this dominating marriage that her life bent under the will of her husband is the only way she knows how to

Although Gatsby oversees this, and attempts to make her once again fall for him. Even though Gatsby is always home, home is very lonesome to him which causes some pain. (anadiplosis) Daisy then cheats on Tom with Gatsby, giving Gatsby false hope about their love. Another form of wooden-headedness is Tom being too stubborn to give into the idea that his wife was cheating on him. He still believes she would never betray him, even though he does it all the time.

Most critics around the world believe the play led to increase awareness on the need for women’s rights in all continents, on the other hand some critics opine that the play depicted women as inferior creatures and dolls who have no personality of their own. Nora Helmer the main character strives to achieve the perfect concepts of life set by the society and her husband. Nora is trapped in her home where her Torvald has built a wonderful life for his ‘doll wife’. Nora’s transformation comes when she discovers the role in doll house imposed on her by the society and her husband and she is desperate to free herself in order to discover her identity.

John Proctor’s words towards Elizabeth signal irritation and annoyance. John Proctor, the main character of The Crucible, has an affair with a much younger girl, Abigail Williams, breaking his wife, Elizabeth’s trust in him. Her suspicion of him rises when he tells her he was in a room alone with Abigail. Elizabeth’s growing mistrust begins to aggravate John, which is revealed when he says, “I’ll not have your suspicion any more” (489). Elizabeth is doubtful after learning about John’s affair with Abigail and her lack of trust in her husband begins to anger him.

Harper Lee stresses to the reader that it is immoral to harm the innocent. For Example, Boo Radley is an example of a mockingbird. Locked in his house because of his past mistakes, Boo Radley desperately seeks connection with the outside world. The kids begin noticing that the objects they find in the knothole belong to someone and are important to that person.

The speaker 's relationship with her father contradicts the close father-daughter bond common in most family settings. She regards him with hatred and fear as one would a totalitarian dictator, not a loving father whom she adores. There exists, for lack of a better term, immense conflict between this childish, puerile speaker and the father whom governs her every thought. She emphasizes this conflict through the use of numerous allusions, intended to bring about a clear notion of exactly how poorly she was treated by her father. Although there exists varying interpretations of the poems metaphors, the allusions to war torn Germany, vampirism, popular nursery rhymes, as well as Greek architecture are unmistakable and are included by the speaker to parallel her own experiences and conflicts with her father.

She confronts her, saying that her having an affair, and especially a child, is a disgrace to him. Luckily for him, however, no one knows that he is Hester’s husband, because he has been in England being intellectual. He tells her that he does not want to know who the father is, but if she tells the town that they are married, he would hunt down the father and basically torture him psychologically (which is exactly what he does to Dimmesdale). This initial introduction to Roger gives the reader the impression that he is an old man that does not care much about his wife, and that while he is angry about the affair and the child, he is not psychotic

Sayoko 's way of touching her mole with the use of her left hand shows that she is guarding and protecting herself from her abusive husband. Sayoko 's husband is an image of a common problem about marriage failure today. Sayoko was beat and kick by her husband but she did fight, her weakness made her abuse more by her husband. Base on what I had interpret in the story, there was a lack of acceptance and lack of love happened in the marriage of Sayoko and her husband. Because if Sayoko 's husband really love her, he would not mind even if Sayoko will play her mole in front of him because he loves her, but in the case of them, Sayoko 's husband did not really love her and Sayoko was blinded by the hope that her husband would change.

In fact, John was flirting with Abigail in the first act. John reprimands Elizabeth for playing God, when he does the same to the community. What makes John’s vicious and uncalled for assertion even more distasteful, is the fact that he says he should have “roared” Elizabeth down when she first accused him. Again, John seems to forget that he is the transgressor. His harsh behavior and tone towards Elizabeth almost makes it seem as if he is putting the blame on her, as if she was not suppose to confront him about adultery and just metaphorically be a doormat.

For centuries, men have felt that they are superior to women. This attitude is quite evident in the play A Doll 's House written by Henrik Ibsen as the husband, Torvald is sexist and does not see his wife, Nora, as an equal. In this story, Nora treated like Torvald 's "doll" in their house, as it is suggested in the title. Numerous instances throughout the story had shown that Torvald refers to Nora by demeaning pet names such as "little squirrel," "little spendthrift," and "singing lark." Isbel used Nora’s nicknames as a symbol of their husband/wife marital dynamic.

Psalm.16:18 tells us “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Johnny should not have gone to the Lytes to claim them as his kin. There are three reasons why Johnny was foolish to go to the Lytes to claim he was there kin. He endured great humiliation, he broke his promise to his mother and suffered great peril. Johnny suffered great humiliation once his silver cup was taken from him, as he was teased by the servants and accused of proposing to Lavinia and especially while he was falsely accused of being a thief.

The other men in her life [being Kelso and Hyde] either abandoned her, cheated on her, or were incapable of committing to her. It is easy enough to imagine Jackie decades later, broken hearted and alone. Why wouldn’t she pine for the admirer who was never really there? Fez is her attempt to turn a tragedy into a fairy tale, but even she knows that her wish can never come true. This is why she can never give him a real identity.
