Hera and Aphrodite. Two goddesses on two sides of the Trojan War. Both of them have their own personalities, and their own agendas. The two of them do have certain similarities. Both Hera and Aphrodite seem to believe in the cause they are fighting for. They do, however have very different ways about getting what they want. In The Illiad, both of these goddesses are on the opposing sides (as I stated before). Hera fights on the side of the Acheans, where Aphrodite has taken sides with the Trojans.

There are a lot of barriers that existence within human nature. The most profound barrier that exists is the language barrier. As human, we are met to communicate with one another. Without communication, there is simply no connection. A language barrier draws imagery line between people to make them feel distant on a deeper level. The frustration rushes through one’s brain when he or she realizes that they have a mouth but cannot utilize it to get their point across. There is a great deal of frustration to be misunderstood due to the restraint and limitation the knowing words and of trying to piece these words together to properly express oneself.

Edie felt strange claiming ownership over her new bedroom, but also felt uncomfortable spending time with her housemates – who she considered strangers, despite being people who behaved as though they knew her well. As a result, she had taken to spending hours upon hours wandering around London every day. Fortunately, such a busy area allowed for numerous new experiences to occupy her time; in many ways, she found it rather pleasant.

In 1941, Eudora Welly has written a short story called “Why I Live at the P.O.”. This is a short story about a girl and her resentment for her sister, which is why she has moved away to the post office. Welly was known for wanting to establish that there are multiple different viewpoints for a single image, and this short story demonstrates that desire. At the beginning of the story, Sister is portrayed as a sweet and innocent girl, but near the end, her jealousy overtakes her and she goes as far to make her sister, Stella-Rondo, cry. Welly uses the narrative to her advantage to create this plot twist to reveal this change in behaviour. She also uses it to create the characters in the story, especially Stella-Rondo, a character who is constantly spoiled. This becomes the source of Sister’s envy and it becomes quickly established that this pampering and spoiled nature can lead to a character not being able to adapt when taken out of the spotlight.

Mrs. Freeman sees through the illusions of the Hopewell household. She knows her place in the economy of the household and hers if the final comment in the story.

When the word, villain, is said most people would think about an animated movie or television show. In this film, there are multiple villains with different characteristics and different motives. Some villains had good intentions and others purposely played the villain role. A villain is described as a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot. “In Lila and Eve,” the villains would be Alonzo, the justice system, Lila, and Eve and these are known to be the villains because someone feels a sense of fear or hatred toward each other. Although everyone in this group are villains they are also victims. Each victim seek revenge or justice, and in most cases, both which in turn make that victim a villain.

However, it is through the events that happen to the heroine in opening of the bloody chamber that the reader gets the impression a similar situation has happened with his ex-wives- it becomes clear to the reader that once the heroine reaches sexual maturity that the Marquis feels as though he has to empower the female through the act of fearing him and causing pain in which he finds most pleasurable- this is evident when he describes ‘’the act of love as the act of torture’’- to the reader this seems fearful and we can imagine the act to be painful due to the connotations that can be taken from ‘’torture’. However- Carter employs a different approach from the young girl’s naïve nature, emphasising the dark nature of the gothic.

Much to Catherine’s pleasure, she has a walk scheduled with her sweetheart, Henry Tilney, and her dearest friend, Eleanor Tilney. However, on the morning of the walk, it rains.

Unexpectedly, Isabella Thorpe, John Thorpe, and James Morland arrive at her house. They request that Catherine go along on their trip to neighboring cites. However, Catherine feels obligated to stay in the house and await Henry Tilney and Eleanor Tilney. In his typical self-centered manner, John Thorpe declares that he saw Tilney engaging in other activities, “I saw him at that moment turn up the Lansdown Road, - driving a smart-looking girl” (Austen 53). Although perplexed as to why the Tilneys did not send word that their engagement should be broken, she consents to the proposed carriage ride. While riding out of her neighborhood, Catherine spots Eleanor and Henry Tilney walking towards her house. Catherine, exclaims, “Pray, pray stop, Mr. Thorpe. - I cannot go on. - I will not go on. - I must go back to Miss Tilney.” (Austen 54). John Thorpe disregarding Catherine’s plea, “laughed, smacked his whip, encouraged his horse, made odd noises, and drove on” (Austen 54). During this scene, Austen magnifies the villainy of John Thorpe by whisking away with innocent Catherine.

     My first reaction to Egalia’s Daughters, by Gerd Brantenberg, was something like "WHAT is this". I was immediately very confused, and had no idea what this author was writing about. In fact, I felt as though I opened the book to the middle of a story, and became turned off by the whole experience. It took about three chapters, and someone’s help, until I started to read the book understandably, with ease, and began to enjoy the world I was entering. It became very apparent that I would have to detach myself from all that I thought I knew about gender, and simply allow myself to take in the message Brantenberg was trying to
