Elizabeth Gilbert's Journey Described in Her Novel Eat, Pray, Love

Elizabeth’s character was a mystery to most people at the time she inherited the throne. She had learned to keep her own council, control her emotions, and always behaved cautiously, thus being able to disprove all rumors about her. Always dignified and stately, she could be vain, willful, dictatorial, temperamental, and imperious. She had courage, both in her decisions, and in the face of danger. Possessing an innate of humanity, she was not normally cruel, unlike most rulers of her day. Most regarded her to be unusually tolerant in that age of religious conflict. She saw herself as one who was always honest and honorable, who

Elizabeth is a true woman that would do anything to protect her husband. She knows that if she talked of his sin, he would be hanged. Since she doesn’t know that her husband has confessed, she saves him and lies to the court.

Elizabeth responded authoritatively to the differing opinions of her people. In Jacques Bochetel de La Forest’s report on Elizabeth’s response (Doc. 6), Elizabeth makes her claim as a strong, and independent woman. She explains to the parliament that without her, no actions or measures can be taken, and she dismissed them angrily. Moreover, Elizabeth’s speech to

In the Crucible Elizabeth stands in the back and will not say something unless she has to or she gets asked a question. Elizabeth stands in the back and just observes and listens to what people are saying and she wont say something unless she absolutely has to. Elizabeth had respect and wont interrupt anyone. I relate to Elizabeth because not only does she stand in the back and listen, I do as well. I'm not one who likes to raise my hand in class or start conversations with people. I keep to myself. If someone asks me for my help i’ll help them and teach them how to do things and be open with them. Elizabeth is a very open person and a very caring person and that another trait that we both

The first example of rhetoric in the speech is during paragraph 6 where Elizabeth utilizes parallelism to compare and contrast men and women. “But to have drunkards, idiots, horse-racing, rum selling rowdies, ignorant foreigners, and silly boys fully recognized, while we ourselves are thrust out from all the rights that belong to citizens, it is too grossly insulting to the dignity of women to be longer quietly

Eventually they had a son George and Elizabeth focused her “truth” upon her son. “In the boyish figure she yearned to see something half forgotten that had once been a part of herself recreated”. She would even pray at time “even though I die, I will in some way keep defeat from you” At one point Elizabeth is said to be praying “If I am dead and see him becoming a meaningless drab figure like myself, I will come back”. That is how strongly she wants George to experience all life has to offer. The last thing she wants is for her precious George to become like her Husband Tom. The “truth” has affected her so much that later on she is willing to kill in order to see her truth live on with her son George. (Anderson

The significance of the scene is that Elizabeth asks John questions when he gets home late and she shows him no affection like if she doesn’t really trust him anymore. It reveals that their relationship no longer has trust.

Elizabeth is a mild, peaceful and caring mother who only means to maintain a healthy family household, but due to her husband foolish actions and the wrath of Abigail, she only receives hurt and hardship. It is unbelievably unjust for Elizabeth, who has only tried to heal her family and resume her life with John, is convicted of witchcraft, when in reality, Abigail is the real monster. Elizabeth is obviously hurt from John’s affair with Abigail, and only wants him to move on from her. Elizabeth tries to remind John by saying, “I do not,judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you. I never thought you but a good man, John - with a smile - only somewhat bewildered,” but for even suggesting that John confront Abigail, he becomes angry with her and accuses her of never letting anything go. Even with John’s hurtful reply, she just absorbs the pain and does not lash out. In addition to this, she still is a good wife, for in she and John’s last goodbye, she actually apologizes for her being somewhat unresponsive recently in their marriage, even though she has done nothing wrong. As is shown when Elizabeth says, “I have sins of my own to count. It needs a cold wife to prompt

On the other hand, the Wife at Bath has had different life experiences that have molded her to become the women that she is in the story.
