Review Of ' Charlotte 's Web '

She begins the story an unfaithful hot mess, and she ends the story an unfaithful hot mess. The only thing that changes is her last name and location, but one could wager that she remains an unfaithful hot mess for the rest of her life, with nobody expecting her to be different because “Charlotte was unusual” (Smith 274). With no reason to change, and no crucible to go through, Charlotte at the end of the story remains as tempestuous and flawed as she was at the beginning. She receives no repercussions for her actions, her boyfriend returns to make her a wife, even after it is revealed that she had been cheating on him with two people. Of course, Maurice wasn’t as faithful as he promised he would be either, but Charlotte seems unperturbed by it. Shame doesn’t touch her, and she goes through no trials other than everyone loving her regardless of her myriad flaws simply because she wears her hair a certain way. The worst thing that happens to her in the story, objectively, is that she loses her trademarked bangs, and even then it doesn’t matter, because hair will grow back, and she will have learned

Charlotte rejects her mother’s ideology from a young age, and has the perspective to see past the illusions of perfection her mother creates, and Miss. Hancock gives her the weapons to fight her mother. In seventh grade, Miss. Hancock teaches Charlotte about the metaphor, sparking the creativity within Charlotte her mother shunned. The metaphor becomes a symbol throughout the short story, but it also develops into something deeper. The metaphor becomes an allegory of Charlotte 's rebellion against her mother’s influence, and her future. Writing is an outlet, an opportunity for Charlotte to express and understand herself. The form of expression was a gift from Miss. Hancock, who arms her with the power of creativity. “‘My home,’ I said aloud, ‘is a box It is cool and quiet and empty and uninteresting. Nobody lives in the box,” Charlotte says in seventh grade. She has a complex understanding of herself, and is able to articulate her frustrations through metaphors. After graduating out of Miss. Hancock’s seventh grade class, the story picks up introducing the reader to Charlotte as a

In Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, Heathcliff’s strong love for Catherine guides his transformation as a character. While Heathcliff enters the story as an innocent child, the abuse he receives at a young age and his heartbreak at Catherine’s choice to marry Edgar Linton bring about a change within him. Heathcliff’s adulthood is consequently marked by jealousy and greed due to his separation from Catherine, along with manipulation and a deep desire to seek revenge on Edgar. Although Heathcliff uses deceit and manipulation to his advantage throughout the novel, he is never entirely content in his current situation. As Heathcliff attempts to revenge Edgar Linton, he does not gain true fulfillment. Throughout Wuthering Heights, Brontë uses Heathcliff’s vengeful actions to convey the message that manipulative and revenge-seeking behaviors will not bring a person satisfaction.

Charlotte describes her life as fulfilled; she is a wife, married to Allan for 67 years, together they have seven children, 13 grandchildren, and 17 great-grandchildren. Through her 96 years she has seen and experienced the Great Depression, World War II, Hitler’s suicide, Korean War, Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Vietnam War, Kent State Shootings, Assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan, Calvin and Hobbes comic strip published, September 11, 2001 and so much more.

As a slave, Charlotte is resistant to following orders given to her by her masters. At the start of the novel, Charlotte steals her master, Missus’, prized green silk. Charlotte seems to desire the green silk however, her daughter, Handful, learns to understand the true meaning behind her mother’s rebellions actions.

Friendship is boundless. E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web is a beautiful illustration of how friendship goes beyond our expectations. Although Charlotte’s Web is a children’s novel, it clearly demonstrates what true friendship looks like and how it can shape one’s life. A young pig named Wilbur, alone in the barn and destined to become Christmas dinner, meets

A spider becomes caught in it’s own web. This is an example of an attempted manipulation that went awry. Hedda Gabler, by Henrik Ibsen, is a work about a woman who manipulates the fates of others in order to fulfill her own desires. The title character is a woman who has recently returned from a six month “honeymoon” with her groom, Tesman, a man whom she does not love. She yearns for freedom, but she feels as if she cannot leave her marriage. To occupy her time, she manipulates the lives of everyone around her. Hedda kills herself after becoming engorged in her own manipulations. Through the use of theme, setting, and then-current affairs, Ibsen produces a work

However, good times don't last long for Charlotte, as she becomes feebler and feebler and she dies soon after Wilbur's triumph, leaving an egg sac which carries all her eggs. Eventually, Wilbur, being the best friend of her, brings the egg sac home for Charlotte's sake and he is glad to see her next generation later in spring. You may find it ridiculous to come across such unusual friendship - friendship between a spider and a pig. They belong to two animal species which are worlds apart.

Hancock. In the beginning, we see Charlotte as a young child learning how to use and create metaphors. This creates a spark of creativity and Charlotte begins to love writing metaphors. Fast-forward to highschool, Charlotte starts English 10, to her surprise, Ms. Hancock is her teacher. Charlotte is in a new school, she doesn’t have many friends, so she suppresses the poetry loving part of her, and pretends to have no interest in the class so she may fit in. However, later in the story, Ms. Hancock is hit by a bus and dies, causing Charlotte to become a mess. At the end, Charlotte tries to deal with her grief by writing a metaphor about Ms.

As a slave, Charlotte is resistant to following orders given to her by her masters. At the start of the novel, Charlotte steals her master, Missus’, prized green silk. Charlotte seems to desire the green silk, however, her daughter, Handful, learns to understand the true meaning behind her mother’s rebellions actions.

The complete transformation continues after she is abandoned, and as “once an object of desire”, Charlotte’s “emaciated appearance” enables her from being valuable in any way, as the main purpose for her capture, pleasure, is unable to be satisfied (76). The connection between Charlotte’s corporeal appearance to the society's culture and ideology, solidify the depletion of her worth throughout her stay in America. She is seen as an “object” of “desire” and with no appeal left, she is of no use to the men in the novel. Rowson’s final depiction of Charlotte’s loss of self reflects in her pregnancy and how the unborn child becomes an “innocent witness” and physical image of her worth and “heir to […] shame” (62). The body is bought for nothing and so is worth nothing to be respected and acknowledged. Charlotte is detached from humanity at the hands of others and is merely an object to be used when one

Initially, Charlotte is exposed to a classroom pressure that causes her to behave in a certain way. She and her classmates respect Miss Hancock at this time, which

Charlotte was having a secret affair with the narrator while she was engaged to Maurice. Charlotte is obviously not the most faithful or loyal human being, but the narrator seems to have an amazing relationship with her and is blind by her love to Charlotte. However, once Maurice returns from Thailand, and the two go to Charlotte’s room to talk, “someone else was putting his fingers through her curls” (Smith 266). The irony is surreal at this point of the story (but not surprising as I will explain in the next paragraph), because the narrator believed she had Charlotte all to herself while she was supposed to be loyal to Maurice. All throughout the affair, Charlotte was having another affair with a third man and had no remorse for either of them.

This is where Charlotte first came to know the importance of literature (Basset). Charlotte used her literary talents to write several novels,

The story has enough convinced us the author’s purpose because the main character is the author Charlotte’s own experience. Despite of the fact, she draws her a round character; she depicts herself normal state at the beginning and gradually getting to be an uneasy person. For the three months of captured in the mansion with 7/24 observation by John and Jannie, Charlotte suffered physically and mentally. On the other hand, her husband, John, never missed to give her a medicine for each hour per day. He is quite careful and kind, and intelligent manner.
