Criticism Of Emma's Stereotypes

In a powerful experiment we were able to see through the eyes of a kindergarten children prejudice dynamics. In a famous experience by Jane Elliot she separated her class between blue-eyed and brown-eyed students. Professor Elliot had separated her students by making one eye group inferior to the other making them have certain benefits and better treatment than the other group of students. Eventually, the students were switched the following day. This experiment have showed this group of kindergarten students how colors and discrimination affected the minority population. After this successful experiment with the kindergarten student’s professor Jane Elliot had done many other experiments using adults using the a similar technique blue-eyed

Although Lincoln emphasized that “slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest” and “this interest was somehow the cause of the war” (Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, March 5, 1865), Emma LeConte regarded the Civil War unjust and ruthless and recorded her inward fears and the harsh realities of the war in her diaries. She thought the Union army invaded her state and “men are being killed off - boys of sixteen are conscripted” (When the World Ended: The Diary of Emma LeConte, pp. 4). She believed that the South was defeating their own homeland and protecting their rights, so she said “Then I was so overwhelmed by the thought of Lee's surrender that there seemed no ground under my feet” after she heard of General Lee’s surrender in

In eighteenth century which feminist in social status was not popular by that time, author can only through literature to express her thought and discontented about society. Jane Austen’s Emma advocates a concept about the equality of men and women. Also satirizes women would depend on marriage in exchange to make a living or money in that era. By the effect of society bourgeois, Emma has little self-arrogant. She is a middle class that everyone could admire, “Young, pretty, rich and clever”, she has whatever she needs. She disdains to have friends with lower levels. However, she is soon reach satisfaction with matchmaking for her friend. Story characterizes a distorted society images and the superiority of higher class status. It

Many women have faced difficult paths to get elected into office whether they are Hispanic, African American, or White. Even if they had all the qualities or they were overqualified they failed based on their gender, race, or lack of confidence in themselves.

Emma Woodhouse, who begins the novel "handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and a happy disposition" (Austen 1), suffers from a dangerous propensity to play matchmaker, diving into other’s lives, for what she believes is their own good. Despite this, she is a sympathetic character. Her matchmaking leads only to near-disasters and her expressions of remorse following these mistakes are sincere and resolute. Jane Austen's Emma concerns the social milieu of a sympathetic, but flawed young woman whose self-delusion regarding her flaws is gradually erased through a series of comic and ironic events.

Transformation. What is a transformation? It is when the plot structure and focus of both texts remains intact, but the issues, values and setting are altered. Amy Heckerling’s Clueless transforms Jane Austen’s Emma by humorously depicting modern values. Emma is set during the Regency period, where it was a time of political and social change, with old rural-based values facing challenge from the new urban middle class whereas Clueless is portrayed in a post-industrial, consumer-driven society. Both composers share a common interest in highlighting class distinction; Austen emphasizes on social class in England while Heckerling focuses on the social cliques of youth in America.

Queen Emma Kalanikaumakaʻamano Kaleleonālani Naʻea Rooke, born on January 2, 1836 in Honolulu, is best remembered for her efforts and dedications to establishing the Queen’s Medical Hospital. As the daughter of Fanny Kekelaokalani Young and George Naʻea, her bloodline was closely related to Kamehameha I. As was custom, Queen Emma was offered and adopted by her mother’s sister, Grace Kamaikui Rooke and her husband, Dr. T.C.B. Rooke. Her upbringing involved a mix of British and Hawaiian child rearing, and she grew up speaking English and Hawaiian. In 1856, Queen Emma became queen consort to Kamehameha IV, Alexander Liholiho. Throughout her life, Queen Emma had accomplished many humanitarian efforts for Native Hawaiians.

Heckling has transformed Emma through a new set of social values, a new medium and a different context. She shows the changed ideologies and values by transforming the provincial setting of Highbury and upper class (gentry) systems whereby wealth, property and status govern strict codes of behaviour and social relationships to a microcosm of modern Beverly Hills. In Emma, marriage is a social custom and expectation acting as a medium for security, financial assets, wealth and social status. Class systems made social interaction and experience limited with rank giving rise to insensitive, arrogant and pompous individuals like Emma and Cher.

The lecture notes and Valentin’s chapter “Sex and the City Voters, My Ass” provided good examples of language used to attack female politicians. The language used by the media and the journalist can often affect the public perceptions of these women. People become more focused in their appearance and personalities, and may disregard of what these women are capable of doing for the public. For instance, the lecture note discussed that there is no difference between the language used against Hillary Clinton during her current and 2008 presidential campaign. She was being called “emotional”, which results in the idea that she is incapable to making good decisions. As what you mentioned, the language used against female politicians can really affect

Though written over two centuries apart, the protagonists in Jane Austen’s Emma and Amy Heckerling’s Clueless, are very much alike. They are strong female characters of a certain social standing, that are expected to abide by a particular set of rules and adhere to societal norms. Unlike most young women, Austen’s Emma and Heckerling’s Cher are able to disregard social expectations¬ — like Emma’s idea of marriage, and Cher’s idea of sex — simply because they are privileged and socially stable enough to do so. In this way, both young women simultaneously embrace and reject the principles of female social expectations of their specific time periods. Both Austen and Heckerling confront the belief systems of their readers and viewers through characters that do not act “appropriately” within their respective social environments.

The political arena is a tough place to be part of, especially during a campaign. Your opponent and their supporters are constantly watching your every move with the hopes that you will make a mistake, or that somebody will find some detrimental dirt on you. Now imagine also being a woman, not only will you have to face the hardships that male candidates cope with but you will also have to handle the adversity based on your gender and the stereotypes that go along with being a female. Women have to be prepared to confront the fact that they may not even be wanted in that setting. For example Margaret Carlson stated,

Emma Bovary allows herself to be destroyed by the people she encounters and her obsession with falling in love. Emma is not happy with herself and her relationship so she looks for other people to fill the void. Emma never really realizes that she is the root of all of the troubles in her life. If she were more in touch with reality, she would realize that she needs to work on herself before blaming her love interests for not being like the men that she has read about in the past. Emma has a very unrealistic perception of love. Emma is unable to fall in love with anyone because she will always be dissatisfied. She destroyed her own marriage before it even started because of her preconceived idea of love. Charles is absolutely in love with Emma and would do anything for her but she does not feel the same way about him due to her fairytale idea of love. It seems as if she is not capable of separating her real life romances from the romance novels that she read when during her time at the convent.
