How To Gullify Curses In Her Father's Museum

After Sarah wished the Goblin King would come and take Toby away, she could no longer hear the crying coming from the nursery. Panic and regret flashed across her face because she knew something had happened to Toby. Her dilemma is easily relatable to anyone who has ever thought something awful, only to feel guilty instantly, as if his or her mere thoughts had become actions. In the midst of her panic, Jareth enters in a flurry of glitter. Flamboyant, charismatic, and mysterious, Jareth is the embodiment of Sarah’s struggle to want to keep the playful innocence of her childhood instead of growing up to the sensual pleasures of adulthood. The labyrinth itself represents Sarah’s late-adolescent, convoluted mind while baby Toby signifies the responsibility of adulthood. But far from being a dry intellectual exploration of a teenager’s existential angst, Labyrinth is an amusing escapade, filled with witty riddles, and infused with absurd little comic touches that keep you smiling and guessing. In Jareth’s labyrinth, everything seems possible and nothing is what it seems. Sarah must endure a series of trials designed to complicate and divert her from her task of reaching the center of the labyrinth and rescuing

Sarny, a 12-year-old slave girl in the ante-bellum south, faces a relatively hopeless life. Her chief duties at the plantation of Clel Waller are serving at table, spitting tobacco juice on roses to prevent bugs, and secretly conveying intimate messages between Waller 's wife, Callie, and Dr. Chamberlaine.

Poverty and hardship are shown to create vulnerability in female characters, particularly the female servants, allowing powerful men to manipulate and sexually abuse them. Kent illustrates how poverty perpetuates maltreatment and abuse in a society like Burial Rites using the characters of Agnes’ mother Ingveldur and Agnes. Agnes’ mother is forced to make invidious choices as her children are “lugged along” from farm to farm, where she is sexually exploited by her employers. In spite of these circumstances, Agnes’ mother is commonly referred to as a whore in their society which abhors female promiscuity yet disregards male promiscuity as a harmless character trait; as in the case of Natan, who is merely “indiscreet” despite all his philandering. Born into poverty, Agnes experiences similar sexual coercion and manipulation from her “masters” and yet is labelled “a woman who is loose with her emotions and looser with her morals”. The severe poverty of Agnes is explicitly demonstrated to the reader by Kent through the intertextual reference of her entire belongings - a very dismal, piteous list to be “sold if a decent offer is presented”. Furthermore, Kent contrasts the situation of Agnes, a “landless workmaid raised on a porridge of moss and poverty”, to the comparative security Steina has experienced using a rhetorical question from
