Miss Lonelyhearts Character Analysis

The fight for justice is not always unequivocal or favorable, sometimes justice is given by means that do not seem fair at all. William Styron says in a novel that life “is a search for justice.” It is blatant that throughout Khaled Hosseini's novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, female characters are continuously battered with injustices. Hosseini hones into the oppression of women and the fight for women empowerment through the life of one of his main characters, Mariam. Her journey is shown throughout the novel where she struggles to search for and understand justice.

Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird takes place during the Great Depression, which is about 50 years after slavery had officially ended. However, the town of Maycomb County was immensely segregated and prejudiced. As a result, many of the residents assume the characteristics of other residents through town gossip and rumors. Throughout the novel, many of the people’s opinions and ideas are greatly influenced by others because having a strong opinion on controversial issues in the town could lead to cruel consequences. The fear of being judged and rejected from society causes many of Maycomb County’s people to conceal the truth about the false gossip which leads to others misinterpreting and believing the gossip. Miss Maudie Atkinson, a young widow, is one of the few characters that displays her own individuality and protests against what she does not believe to be true. Miss Maudie's positive trait of bravery makes her an asset to the Maycomb community because through her individuality, she becomes a role model for individuals such as Scout Finch.

In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonist, is empirical. To begin, in chapter 34, Fitzwilliam Darcy approaches Elizabeth in Mr. Collins’ house with intentions to propose to her. Before Darcy steps foot into the house, Elizabeth is aware that he is the reason that Mr. Bingley (Darcy’s friend) and Jane Bennet (Elizabeth’s oldest sibling) split up. This causes Elizabeth to dislike Darcy from the beginning, as the Bennett's’ mother has been urging her daughters to get married. Not only this, but as Darcy proposes Elizabeth finds it insulting to her and her family. Baring all of this in mind, Elizabeth replies to the proposal by saying how “‘[She] has every reason to think ill of [Mr. Darcy],’” (113). Not only this, but she also expresses her frustration by declaring to Darcy that “‘You [are] the last man in the world whom [I] could [ever prevail] on to marry,”’ (114). With all of this being said by Elizabeth, it is obvious that her response to Mr. Darcy was solely based on her experience with him and how he acts. Her opinions of him are justifiable, but they continue to formulate throughout the book when she begins to observe him more thoroughly. On the contrary, despite Darcy’s previous actions, towards the end of the novel Elizabeth is much more fond of him again. This occurs because Darcy mends a marriage

Miss Lonelyhearts' sole job is to give hope to those who need it and his job is in very high demand. He describes the number of letters he responds to on the daily as exponential, increasing hourly. If his job is used so much, it is because people feel the despair of the struggles faced during the Great Depression.

Miss Lonelyhearts becomes their idol and their Christianity dissolves into a misguided Christ

Every town has at least one person always seeking attention in everything he or she does. In the small town of Maycomb County, this busybody is Miss Stephanie Crawford.

Little Miss Sunshine is a comedy movie about a seven year old girl named Olive who aspires to win the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. To help make her wish come true, her six-member family takes a road trip from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach, California. At the conclusion of the film, Olive and her family learned to trust and support each other, no matter the situation. Olive is the youngest member of her family who is entering middle childhood and adolescence just like her older brother Dwayne. Olive is the type of girl that is cheerful, most of the time and not particularly the kind you would see in a pageant. Olive’s brother, Dwayne, could be described as “emo”. Although he claims that he hates his family, he loves his sister, Olive. Their parents, Richard and Sheryl, and their Uncle Frank are in the process of entering middle adulthood. Throughout most of the film, Richard is considered selfish because he does not want his family to be seen as “losers”. Richard is obnoxious to his family, but he still means well and wants them to succeed. Sheryl is the normal member of the family who does not tolerate anyone's antics. Uncle Frank is very sarcastic and failed at his attempt to commit suicide. He used to be a college professor, so he is considered the smart guy. The sixth member of Olive’s family, her grandpa, dies during the movie due to an overdose, but was entering the late adulthood stage. The members of Olive’s family share some similarities and differences, but since they all vary in age, developmental concepts will be different in a way for each family member.

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.

Imagine you are a lawyer tasked with an impossible case, and everybody in your community is against you, but still there is a shred of hope you cling to. What might that be you ask? That to which you cling are your morals. In To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch had been given the Tom Robinson case, where a black man was convicted of raping a white woman. As a single father of two children, he continues to reinforce his values throughout the trial and during his daunting task of raising his children. In To Kill A Mockingbird what Harper Lee suggests about the nature of morals is that you should try to stand up for what you believe in even if people oppose or reject your ideals. Even when faced with an insurmountable opposition you should stand up for your morals because in the end if your don't follow your beliefs you are just contributing to the problem. We should try to create a voice for what we believe in and impress that upon the next generation so they can continue to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place.

Throughout Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, the character Jean Valjean, the Patron-Minette, and Gavroche have a lot in common. What defines them as people, though, are their actions in life and the actions of others. Hugo emphasizes how the lack of those things (education and kindness) leads to criminal ways and an ungratified way of life. No one has shown them affection or kindness which leads them to believe society is mean and they develop hatred towards it. Not one of them were educated, which leads to ignorance and a lack of opportunities in life, which leads to crime in the long run.
