Fitzgerald indicates that wealthy people are not always happy. At Tom and Daisy’s dinner party, Nick says that Daisy’s face “was sad and lovely” (13). The description of Daisy’s attitude and appearance shows the reader that her beauty intends to mask her despair. Many

This type of marriage is very uncommon in contemporary culture, but it was the societal norm during the regency period. The author, in the earlier chapters of the story, describes Charlotte as “sensible, intelligent young woman.” (Austen 16). Charlotte is a sensible woman so her actions were typically frivolous. “Remember, Eliza, that he does not know Jane’s disposition as you do. ‘But if a woman is partial to man, and does not endeavor to conceal it, he must find it out’.” (Austen 20). Elizabeth and Charlotte are having a typical conversation about Jane and Mr. Bingley. The author describes Charlotte as being a kind and normal person. She is a great friend to Elizabeth and seems to converse easily. The portrayal of Charlotte being normal shows that her actions and thoughts were common of the women of the time period.

Daisy's father wanted her to marry somebody who wasn't going off to war. He wouldn't let Gatsby even propose because of this. Daisy eventually married Tom, who wasn't shipped off to war, because he came from old money. He is imperious and commanding and knows what he wants: Daisy. Even Gatsby, the man that Daisy first fell for and still loves, tries to control her by telling Tom that she never loved him, and then tries to make her say it herself. But it is too much for Daisy. Even though she loves Gatsby, she feels she cannot honestly say she has never loved Tom at

In reality though it is human nature to want what others have, leading to skewed perspective that could conflict with one’s own view of them self. Gatsby is right at the heart of this, though he is not more then a kind hearted but lonely business man who made his way the public creates rumor of him being horrible. They speak of him as being a murderer, a descendent of tyrants or even a traitor. They say these things to feel better about their own shortcomings and rationalize the fact that he must be doing something different from them to achieve success. It is not only new wealthy class that faces this issue but those of old wealth as well. Though it is slightly different, those who grew up in such wealthy environments are often known by their trivial accomplishments and their real hard work is overshadowed by their family’s wealth. To portray this Fitzgerald writes of an interesting in counter with Tom Buchanan, a man who has inherited success. During a party when Nick Introduces Tom to people he introduces him as “the football star” but Tom oddly insists that Nick must not call him that. This reaction is peculiar as one would think being a renounced sportsman would be the goal of many peoples lives, how ever Tom doesn’t want to be seen as nothing more then the muscle he appear to be but as a intellectual success as well. In addition to this conflict of personal opinions this new class must truly ask them selves if it was all worth

Taylor Sweet 1 December 2015 Prosper Folklore Before Prosper was named Prosper, it went by the name Eagletown. Everyone in Eagletown was very into witchcraft, causing them all to develop superpowers. There was a girl named, Prosper, who had the power to control and produce electricity. She was 17 and in her last year in school. Prosper was very nice and loved to include every one in whatever the social event may be.

In Neil Simon’s comic drama Lost in Yonkers, Bella is a strange and childish character who has never felt love from her emotionless Mother. One page 102 Bella refers to Grandma as “steel,” while going on to say that the “steel” is “hard and it’s cold.” This quote clearly displays that Bella grew up without receiving any love from her mother. This lack of love is Bella’s motivation to chase after her dream of creating and loving her own family while also trying to get the feeling of love out of her Mother. The lack of love Bella received from Grandma throughout her life is the main reason why she became who she is and why she aspires to create her own, loving family.

In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Charlotte Lucas is a neighbor to the Bennet family, one of Elizabeth's close friends, and the wife of the clergyman Mr. Collins. Elizabeth confides in Charlotte a great deal throughout the novel, but is very put off by her marriage, knowing that her husband is a complete fool. Charlotte, however, is not

Becky Thatcher served as a difficult person to analyze. As a director, I got to decide whether she was in control or not, and I think my decisions were not unified, making the action even less believable. Initially, Becky was timid and innocent to Tom’s intentions, and then she became more manipulative and knowledgeable. In a sense, I think it was because I took the easy way out. When I talked to my actress about actually crying at the end, she told me she didn’t think she could, so I dropped it and chose to have her fake cry; however, choosing to have her fake cry completely changed the scene. It was a cop-out. I never saw Becky as manipulative or aware that Tom had loved another girl—she was a dreamer: sweet and innocent. She didn’t even know what an engagement meant!

The Philadelphia Story shows a positive evolution of the role of female lead characters. Tracey Lord (Katharine Hepburn) is a much more complex character

The ending of the novel and the two filmic clips are considered happy and full of emotional excitement; however, it is not because of the fortuitous marriages, but the audience’s realization that Elizabeth has grown into a better understanding of herself and those people around her. She shows strength and courage when she admits to herself that she loves Darcy as she confesses this in Simon Langton’s (1995) miniseries clip. In this clip, Elizabeth had to justify to her Mr. Bennet why she wanted to marry Darcy. She expresses the love she has for Darcy by stipulating “that he does not have improper pride,” has a generous nature, and at first she didn’t like him, but later realized that she truly has fallen in love him. Mr. Bennet seals his blessing with kiss and approves her marriage to Darcy. The clip pans into the wedding event in which the minister is discussing the ordaining of matrimony, and the audience sees the relation of these vows as the problems with the marriages within the two families. The majority of the cast members appear to be happy and celebrating the joy of Jane and Elizabeth’s double wedding ceremony.

Amanda then decides that her daughter’s only shot at life, and the family’s only shot at being financially secure, is to marry Laura to someone prominent in the community. Amanda talks to Tom about potential matches for Laura, and eventually he decides that Jim O’Connor is a good candidate. What both Tom and Amanda are unaware of is Laura’s long-time crush on Jim O’Connor. This is where things really start to get complicated.

However her friend Charlotte symbolizes many women at the time who choose a life of marriage not for love, but for comfortability. In chapter 22 Charlotte states to Elizabeth, "I am not romantic, you know, I never was, I never was, I ask only a comfortable home, and considering Mr. Collin 's character, connection and situation of life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on entering the marriage state."(p.76). She admits to Elizabeth that she does not love Mr. Collins, but she will still be happy due to his status and wealth. It is ironic that Elizabeth would not compromise her beliefs even to marry her own relative in order to save her family, while charlotte does without any hesitation. Given Charlotte 's age

Woman using auspicious relationships for their economic gain did not seem out of the ordinary. In Mr. Collins and Charlotte’s relationship this seemed to be the only reason for their courtship. Mr. Collins was to inherit Mr. Bennet’s estate when he passed away because he only had daughters and Mr. Collins was the next male inherent. This touches on how women were not viewed as equals and men controlled social status in the early 1800s. He attempted to marry a daughter in the Bennet family (Elizabeth) but was rejected so he proposed to Charlotte, Elizabeth’s friend. In the movie Charlotte is explaining to Elizabeth that she is engaged to Mr. Collins and says “Not all of us can afford to be romantic. I’ve been offered a comfortable home and protection.” This quote showcases Charlotte’s reason for marriage is for financial stability. Additionally, she explains how she is twenty seven and a burden to her family. Unlike modern times, in the early 1800s
