As the story continues, Lizabeth’s environmental factors are exposed, and as a result of these factors, she commits certain actions, in which she faces consequences for. The particular theme that is emitted from this short narrative, is “symbolic experiences that one may experience in life, have a probability of changing aspects in our lives”. This is tied in with main emphasize of exploring in the text how this particular theme is exposed by the characters, setting, and the plot of the story.

Johnson provides a brief account of the novella 's plot, together with his own perspective on the fact that so much of literature and literary analysis concentrates on the relationships that the characters have. In this case, the author examines the family as composed of children of ineffectual parents. While this writer does not know this with certainty, it is possible that many cases requiring family therapy are due to this very cause. The author then goes on to discuss the family in the context of the greater social system.

In the play Trifles, the reader is led to an understanding on why Minnie wright has murdered her husband. This revelation can lead the reader to understand why Mrs. Hale defends Minnie so vehemently.

One of William Shakespeare’s most renown plays, set in Verona where two young star-crossed lovers; Romeo and Juliet met in tragedy as their family feud bound their love within solemn hatred. The Montagues and the Capulets are two families of equal powers who’s prolonged bitter quarrel leads to the tragic death of these two lovers, and by their love reconciled the family’s hatred. Love is a predominant theme within this novel portrayed through the eyes of Romeo and Juliet, however, the maternal endearment between Juliet and her nurse can not be denied.

     The plays, The Glass Menagerie and A Raisin in the Sun, deal with the love, honor, and respect of family. In The Glass Menagerie, Amanda, the caring but overbearing and over protective mother, wants to be taken care of, but in A Raisin in the Sun, Mama, as she is known, is the overseer of the family. The prospective of the plays identify that we have family members, like Amanda, as overprotective, or like Mama, as overseers. I am going to give a contrast of the mothers in the plays.

In the story “Marigolds,” the author, Eugenia Collier, uses voice elements to support the poignant tone of the story. In the story, Collier includes a metaphor that evokes a feeling of sadness when her father cried. Lizabeth heard “[her] father, who was the rock on which the family had been built, was sobbing like the tiniest child,” (Collier 404). This reveals that Lizabeth’s father is the strong foundation that built the family and gave it confidence, love, encouragement, and a role model. Although was the foundation of the family, his wife worked every day making her the breadwinner. The metaphor eventually destroys Lizabeth confidence because her dad is crying and that gives her insecurities that something is going wrong. This relates to the poignant tone because the metaphor evokes the feeling of sadness.

From a reader’s standpoint, how a character develops throughout a story is one of the most intriguing parts of reading. In Susan Glaspell's A Jury of her Peers, the narrator, Mrs. Hale, obsesses over how Minnie Wright changes since she was a girl. Similarly, in Everyday Use by Alice Walker, the narrator awaits her daughter’s arrival, to find that she is radically different from before. One of the core reasons for these changes in the characters are the relationships they are a part of. The two characters’ significant others each have a unique influence on the returning characters (Wangero and Minnie).

By placing Joan Didion’s novel, Play It As It Lays, in the context of bad and evil, it is evident that some characters still have virtue. The depiction of the struggle of Maria’s life might in one part depict the borrowed virtue from his gambler father and his lazy mother. On the other hand, her own virtue still develops in the end and which is far much different from that of her parents. In her marriage life, she tends not to concentrate on building her life just like her parents. This makes her to engage in many irresponsible relationships where she meets her psychological blackmailer boyfriend who wastes her life. Conversely, Maria is keen to love and cherish her daughter Kate who is ailing. The ailment is seen to bring her closer to her

The protagonist show case great characteristic traits of representing the spirit of change. She breaks the norms that are posed by the male chauvinistic people around her. As the novel begins it is evident that Janie is suppressed by her own grandmother. This is the first level of suppression she undergoes. Here, a woman is suppressed by another woman of her own family, who has a mind that is glutted with the notions of patriarchy. The grandmother in Their Eyes Were Watching God though understands the sufferings of Janie, believes that it is her duty to get Janie married to the much older rich man. She believes that only a male support can make her life secured and happy.

She believes that only a man can give life and protection to a woman. The grandmother sticks to the old beliefs about marriage. This is one of the notorious notions that the patriarchal society hold on to. She fails to understand that women can live a secured life without even getting married. However, Janie is suppressed here. Janie is unable to protest against her much beloved grandmother. She becomes Logan’s

The nurse and Friar are sophisticated characters that act as parental figures within the prolix and truculent play. The timeless classic Romeo and Juliet (RJ) by William Shakespeare revolves around the notion of determinism, death, love and deception. Despite Romeo and Juliet having warring parents who pay little regard to them, the Nurse and Friar act as parental figures towards them who guide through vexed situations in their best interest, however, this only prolongs their declivity, with the Friar acting as a motif of death and the Nurse acting as a beacon of hope.

Beatrice was a young girl who was very innocent and unaware of the lonely life she lived. It did not come to her attention that her selfish father her isolated her from everyone until she fell in love with Giovanni. She then wanted to be free from the garden and would do whatever it took to do so. Rappaccini locked Beatrice away from the people because he had filled her “...veins with poison” (Hawthorne). Her desire to be apart of society is quite different from The Lawyer’s willingness to give it up. The Lawyer chose isolation as a way to feed his greed; while, Beatrice was forced into seclusion by her father. Moreover, The Lawyer and Beatrice differ when it comes to how they were desolated from humanity. Another way they differed would be

Addie Bundren, the novel’s seminal character, lived a sad life. She recalls that “I could just remember how my father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time” (169). Although Addie remembers hating her father, she adopts his philosophy. She says, “I knew at last what he meant” (175) and this understanding guides her life of sorrow and sadness. She feels no comfort or joy in her husband and merely exists with him, “I did not even ask him for what he could have given me: not-Anse. That was my duty to him, to not ask that, and that duty I fulfilled” (174). Even her children have no special place in her heart, “I gave Anse the children. I did not ask for them” (174). The children merely take from her and she finds no satisfaction in mothering. The only excitement she finds in life is in her affair with
