Compare And Contrast The Wife And Bisclaravet

What is a Wife? What is a Daughter? Are they the same, or are they different? A wife supports a husband, but a daughter could also have the same position could she not? A daughter could marry and become a wife, and still be a daughter. Than again, a wife could be an only child, and a wife could have no father. A wife compares to a daughter in many ways, and differs in many different ways as well. All in all, it?s quite possible that all women, go through at least one of these titles, at one point in there lives.

My Sister’s Marriage” by Cynthia Marshall Rich portraits  characters that have many family problems. The father Doctor Landis is a total control freak. He decides every little things in his two daughters, Olivia and Sarah Ann, life. The restrictions that the father puts upon on his two daughters have different consequence on both. Olivia, the oldest daughter, starts having rebellious feeling due to suffocated restrictions, while, Sarah Ann, the youngest daughter, starts to internalize the restrictions and value her limited opportunities. Everywhere in the story, we can see that, the daughters pass through  so many intestinal conflicts that result in either imprisonment or liberation. Since the father is so controlling, he has instructed his daughters to have a perverted view of love which emotionally demolished and imprisons one,

The loss of his love is more important to Bisclavret then anything else. The entire description of who he is, is almost a foreshadowing of what he will be like when he does turn into a werewolf. He is no different in beast form as he was in human form. It is his wife who betrays not him. The loyalty of Bisclavret is also shown when he explains how he has not taken on a lover but something almost far worse. The way the narrator described the reaction of Bisclavret sums up how loyal he is. “in God’s name have mercy on me! If I tell you this, great harm will come to me for as a result I shall lose your love and destroy myself.” (69). Spoke directly back to his wife, he was asking for mercy from his wife and not mercy from God alone. He knew he was doing wrong and he wanted nothing more but the approval of his wife. It is as if he wants more of an approval from his wife and not God, he needs mercy from both. The narrator explains how Bisclavret did not even want to explain, he was very nervous and did not want to share his story. The word “coaxing” stands out in this part of the story because the knight was such a noble man but now when it is time to reveal his secret he turned shy and cowardly. He did not want to run the risk of being judged falsely. Although Bisclavret was ashamed of being this beast, he still remained loyal to his wife he even trusted her with these

The relationship between the narrator and his wife was acrimonious at best. He does not care enough for her to be nice to a house guest who is a friend of hers as evidenced by his comment “I wasn’t enthusiastic about his visit. He was no one I knew. And his being blind bothered me.” (Carver, 1983, p.2679). In point of fact he seems to be a jerk overall with his comment about the man being blind. I have always believed prejudice is based in ignorance and I think this is a perfect example. He is bothered by a blind man and freely admits to not having any blind friends. He is afraid of what he does not know and of someone who is different. The wife’s comments back to him also divulge a sourness towards their relationship. He writes “My wife looked at me with irritation” (Carver, 1983, p.2683) and “My wife gave me a savage look” (Carver, 1983, p.2679) bolstering the conclusion made with the narrators comments above.

1. In one sentence, define what Brady means by wife. Does this ideal wife actually exist? Explain.

Throughout time, there have been numerous references to lycanthropy, or werewolves, in literature. Causes of this disease have ranged from simple pathological problems to demonic possessions. The one constant in all cases, however, is the diagnosed individual succumbing to melancholy, or finally becoming aware of the implications his or her actions have had on society. In this article, I will be focusing on the fact that due to his internal monstrosity, in regards to his lack of morality and horrid decision making, Ferdinand falls prey to lycanthropy and hallucinates his transformation into a werewolf, becoming the animal that he has always been within himself.

David was embarrassed, scrolling through the Internet pages, looking at various women. He knew he was better than this, but he didn't have a choice. He tried not to think of what he was doing, because it made him feel...dirty, and less than a man. He never thought that he would be this guy. He was a strong, virile man, and he had his whole life ahead of him, or so one would have thought. But he wasn't like any other man. He wasn't even a man, if he were to be honest. But that wasn't something to be proud of, or something that he was going to boast from the mountaintops. He was ashamed of himself, and what he was. He wasn't a man; rather, he was a bear shifter.

At first, I didn’t know what to make of this book. I knew from the cover that the novel’s plot was centered on a murder, but I had no clue that the main character and his family was so involved. Also, when I thought of World War II, I didn’t consider the victims of the madness that occurred afterwards and the emotional damage that followed, or how the countries that were occupied by the Nazi party were decimated, pillaged, and shells of their former glory. I always thought of the 10+ million that were killed in concentration camps based on their political standings, sexual orientation, race, and religion. It opened my mind to the treachery that most likely occurred in neighborhoods where people knew each other very well but framed since they

A bride was bought by the husband’s family, for money and the husband received a dowry. The brides had to be virgins, if not the woman was considered damaged property, and if the woman loss her virginity it could be made good by paying a fine.

All her poems are written in first-person point of view. I think to be able to better relate to other woman. When we read her poems and it describes what we are going through we can read it and be talking about ourselves. "To My Dear and Loving Husband" isn't related to any historical events that the poet had faced throughout her life. Bradstreet's poem could have been written by any wife for any husband at any specific time. The language and imagery that Bradstreet uses to describe her love is so timeless, romantic, and imaginative. At the same time though, her poem hints at the author's Puritan self.

Nabokov’s describing more of what the husband and wife are not as opposed to what they are causes the reader to be less connected to these characters due to their lack of characterization and expressed emotions. An individual is characterized by their name, appearance, job, clothing, opinions from other, habits, and surroundings. The husband and wife are barely characterized and barely described. The only description we get of the two is “Her drab gray hair was done anyhow, She wore cheap black dresses” and “Her husband, who in the old country had been a fairly successful businessman, was no wholly dependent on his brother Isaac” (Nabokov 598). Generally, readers connect with the characters and form relationships and opinions about them.

Solnit’s says that half a century ago a woman is beaten every nine seconds by an intimate partner or former partner and about three a day are murdered by that category man in the Unites States. (3) When a woman is beaten in a relationship, it is very hard to walk away from it especially in a marriage. From personal experience, even though I wasn’t in a relationship when I was hit for the first time, in my head, I was asking the question “did he really just do this to me?”, my first reaction wasn’t to fight back, I was so in shock I just stood there and didn’t do anything but cry. I can't imagine if it was my husband because more thoughts would have been in my head, like “Why would he do this if he loved me?”, or “He must have been already

1. Women's lives have changed enormously this century and the actions of women themselves have played a vital role in the transformation. Putting women back into history is about giving individual women their history, but it should also be about making some collective sense out of women's divergent experiences.

Elizabeth Gaskell was the most established female figure in Victorian British Literature. By the time she blossomed into a literary career, she was thirty-eight years old. Most of her novels centered on the plight of the working people in England struggling to survive and dealing with the social stigma of class and wealth. Even though she received harsh criticism from critics for having sympathy for the poor, it didn’t deter her from a successful writing career, nor deny her talent as a writer. In her last work Wives and Daughters; Gaskell implements her satire writing style to examine social issues in England. In August of 1864, Cornhill Magazine published her first novel called, Wives and Daughters.
