Miss Lonelyhearts Analysis

In chapter nine we learn about suffering which comes in inescapable different ways to everyone because it the law to humanity (Hiles & Smith, 2014). Everyone that will experience suffering in will change their perspectives on how

As a woman, the narrator must be protected and controlled and kept away from harm. This seemed to be the natural mindset in the 19th century, that women need to have guidance in what they do, what decisions they make, and what they say. John calls her a “little goose”(95) and his “little girl”(236), referring her to a child, someone who needs special attention and control. His need for control over her is proven when she admits that her husband is “careful and loving and hardly lets me stir without special direction”(49). John has mentally restrained the speaker’s mind, she is forced to hide her anxieties, fears and be submissive, to preserve the happiness of their marriage. When the narrator attempts to speak up, she is bogged down and made guilty of her actions. Her husband makes her feel guilty for asking, he says, “‘I beg of you, for my sake and for our child’s sake, as well as your own, that you will never for one instant let that idea enter your mind!’”(225-226). By making her feel guilty for her illness, John has trapped her mentally from speaking up about it, convincing her that she must be more careful about her actions. Men often impose the hardships placed upon women during this era. They are often the people reassuring them of their “womanly” duties, and guiding them

Suffering is common in day to day life. From anyone getting their car stolen, to them stubbing their toe, everyone suffers. What is uncommon though is a single event that leads to four people’s unimaginable suffering, and even leading to one of their deaths. This is seen in the book The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, where there are four main characters. Hester Prynne is the main character of the story and the person who connects all the other characters. Roger Chillingworth is Hester’s husband who they planned to go to America together but sent her first before he left to join her. Arthur Dimmesdale is the town’s minister who was directly involved in an affair with Hester and himself. Finally, Pearl is the daughter of Hester’s and

The theme of suffering will be talked about throughout this essay. Even though it isn’t the most pleasant topic to talk about, it is part of our lives. The dictionary defines suffering as “The state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship.” This essay will examine suffering and how it shows up in different printed sources, as well as in my personal life.

As a young adult, it is difficult to grow up without parents and still be tough and brave. In addition, teens can be emotional and overreact at times. In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, a fourteen-year-old kid named Ponyboy Curtis feels different emotions that make him stand out from other Greasers, or “hoodlums”. Ponyboy, the youngest of all the Greasers, is a great example of a teen who feels isolated, brave, and emotional throughout the novel.

We were engendered to live and interact with others because that’s what makes our lives consequential. In our world, there are many perpetual malefactions of human suffering that cadge for people’s attention. Surprisingly, not many of us avail others in any way, shape, or form and that might be due to different factors that circumvent us. Sundry authors distributed their opinion through articles and documentaries about the causes and effects of human suffering. During times of distress and suffering, people often times react in an unresponsive and careless manner which results in reinforcing the enemy, and perpetrators of iniquity.

The theme of the biography The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot is withstanding the pain of suffering both mentally and physically. The author portrays how the people felt in a great authentic way. One example of suffering is on page 85, when one of Henrietta’s cousins went to the hospital when she was dying of cancer. Her cousin told Skloot, “‘Lord, Emmet told me years later, ‘Henrietta rose up out that bed wailin like she been possessed by the devil of pain itself.’” Henrietta had had to go through an immense amount of pain if she was screaming about the pain. Another example of going through pain is on page 282, when Henrietta’s sister, Deborah, found a horrifying picture of her other sister that was sent to a mental hospital

Thinking about suffering is pretty frightening, now the minimum event that occurs to someone people call it suffering, but have you thought of how this was even worse in the past with racism, economic problems, and human experimental discoveries? In “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot a lot of central ideas are being formed, and one of them is suffering. Suffering is illustrated in Henrietta, Deborah, and Day. First of all, this central idea is formed in Henrietta being used for experiments and with her illness. In page forty-two Skloot states, “Henrietta knew nothing about her cells growing in laboratory.”

Lonesome Dove is a story in the western genre written by Larry McMurty. The book was published in 1985 and was the first book of a tetralogy, but third in chronology. The book is about a strenuous cattle drive from Texas to Montana. Lonesome Dove was a wholesome and interesting book that engages your curiosity from the beginning to the end. In the beginning of the story they are in a small south Texas town called lonesome Dove, where the two main characters Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call had settled down and started a livery stable after being famous Texas rangers. The journey starts off after Jake Spoon rides into town talking about Montana and the untapped potential. That is what sets them off on their journey driving cattle from Texas to Montana. As their journey began they had many dilemmas, but I would say their first dilemma was the death of Sean O’Brien a young Irish man found with his brother Allen O’Brien when they collected the cattle for the drive. That part of the story was the first major event of the story driving fear in many of the crew. As the drive went north, so did Jake spoon, who brought along a woman by the name of Lorena Wood. Lorena is a major character in the story as she is a love interest of both Augustus McCrae, Jake Spoon ,and desired by many.

This is also brought into the very beginning of “The Depressed Person”, “The depressed person was in terrible and unceasing emotional pain, and the impossibility of sharing or articulating the pain was itself a component of the pain and a contributing factor in its essential horror.” (TDP 1). This introduction lets the reader know that this story is partially person and about the author in a way.

The unequal relationship between the narrator and John is a miniature of the larger gender inequity in society. Gilman makes it clear that much of John’s condescending and paternal behavior toward his wife has little to do with her illness. He dismisses her well-thought-out opinions and her “flights of fancy” with equal disdain, while he demeans her creative impulses. He speaks of her as he would a child, calling her his “little girl” and saying of her, “Bless her little heart.” He overrides her judgments on the best course of treatment for herself as he would on any issue, making her live in a house she does not like, in a room she detests, and in an isolated environment, which makes her unhappy and

Suffering is something that no one wants to go through. There are different types of suffering, emotionally, mentally, and physically, etcetera.

With all of the rules of Waknuk it is hard to fit in with how the government wants you to, look, think, and act. Joseph Strorm, is the ruler of Waknuk and is the one to insistence on the rules and for everyone to follow.

As human beings everyone suffers but we all suffer differently. Some suffer emotionally, some suffer physically, some suffer mentally. And through suffering and pain we gain different experiences, we either overcome pain and sorrows or we break down waste our lives. Edwidge Danticat present the theme of suffering in each of her stories. In all the stories the characters have to go through pain, but they all over come it in different ways. This is true in real life too. in the children of the sea that characters suffer but the outcome is that, in 1937 the outcome is inner peace, and My outcome is discovering myself.

Nathanael West’s famous Miss Lonelyhearts is staged in Depression-era America following an advice columnist who writes under the self-proclaiming title of Miss Lonelyhearts. Miss Lonelyhearts works under a cynical, satanic boss, Shrike, who seeks nothing but pleasure by means of mocking the pain and suffering of the writers Miss Lonelyhearts advises. Even worse, Shrike’s disdain of the Christian religion forces Miss Lonelyhearts to detour what he knows everyone needs: faith. This schizophrenic mind game begins to affect practically every part of his life: his relationship with his lover and once-fiance, Betty, his viewpoint of the world and it's inhabitants, and even his health, both mental and physical. Miss Lonelyhearts becomes too involved
