In this essay, female oppression in La Casa de Bernarda Alba will be discussed and analyzed. However, in order to be able to understand the importance of this theme and the impact it has had on the play, one must first understand the role of female oppression in the Spanish society in the 1930s.

The first piece of evidence found at the scene that gives Henry motive to commit the murder is is the photograph of Joe on Amy’s desk and the flowers from Joe. These two items suggest that Amy was in a serious relationship with Joe and not Henry which would cause Henry to be very jealous and mad at Amy for her choosing Joe over

Jo, who was known to constantly lose her temper, had always felt ashamed of her bad habits. She wanted to make her mother proud and become as kind as she was. Midway through the book Marmee revealed that she too suffered from this bad habit, which she fought to keep under control. She reassured her child that what she is going through is understandable as long as she tries to resist it. Furthermore, she offered Jo guidance, just as how Mr. March helped her maintain her anger in his presence. During the events where Beth became sick, Amy was sent to stay with her Aunt March in order not to catch Beth’s scarlet fever.

This helps her replace her mother’s influence and advice, resulting her to become closer to God. When Marmee returns from her journey, Amy is excited to show her the chapel. Her mother responds with great approval and admiration of Amy’s development as a

Relationships can be like a pack of wolves. There is an alpha and an omega, always a type of power structure. Jane Kenyon explores about this in her poem with the different roles the male and female take within in their relationship. She reveals how a power shift come about and the way in which each person in the relationship acts to accommodate it. “Surprise” In her poem “Surprise”, Jane Kenyon uses yonic and phallic symbols, regression, and the double to reveal the power dynamics within the relationship.

Relationships are seen everywhere at all times, there are many different types of relationships. There are relationships between students and teachers, mother and father, an employee and their boss, and there are romantic relationships. All these types of relationships mentioned, plus many more, have an impact on our daily life no matter where we are. In the science fiction novel, Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury the relationships in that society are very distinct from the ones present in today's society. Ray Bradbury creates a very interesting twist on how people's perspectives on relationships have been changing throughout the years. The lack of communication in Fahrenheit 451’s society has a negative effect on relationships because it prevents wisdom from spreading to younger people and to new generations, causes people to lose self worth, and it causes isolation to those in relationships.

Do men and women fully understand each other or do their generalizations prevent them from really understanding what the other is like? In “The Wife of Bath’s Tale,” Geoffrey Chaucer conveys that it is hard for people to understand the opposite sex. The tendency of being bias towards a specific gender makes it difficult to reach an understanding. The struggle of trying to understand each other is also seen in “News Coverage of a Woman’s Rights Campaign” and “The Men we Carry in Our Minds.”

As the world has grown throughout the centuries, females have generally been under the domination of males. This remained culturally entrenched until the late nineteenth century, when women began to appear in public more often and also began to join alongside men in the work force. In the network of employees and employers in the emerging institution of the Parisian department store, men and women depended on each other for survival in the workplace. Such interdependence is a microcosm of the bourgeois French society during that time, which Emile Zola wrote of in The Ladies’ Paradise, the eleventh book of the Rougon-Macquart series detailing middle-class life. According to Professor Brian

The first play Cyrano De Bergerac, is a romantic comedy with its share of relationship problems. Sure, Roxane and Cyrano are not even a couple. Or perhaps, are they? Christian and Cyrano together fabricate an ideal man with the looks of Christian and the wit of Cyrano. So, actually since Roxane falls in love with Cyrano’s words, it can be assumed that Cyrano is partly dating Roxane. The problem with saying this, is that Roxane and Christian partake in Holy Matrimony later in the play. The reason that Cyrano and Roxane will be used instead of she and Christian is that the first pair have more complexity in their relationship, whereas Christian was only used as a tool for Cyrano to proclaim his love to Roxane. This was all fine until it was too late for Cyrano to tell Roxane that he loves her because Christian was dying on the battlefield during

Amy is a very dynamic character in the movie. She stays moral and true to her beliefs, but how she defines this or how her actions define her is what changes. Amy boards the noon train, bound to leave Kane behind, due to her beliefs, but rushes off the train when she hears the sound of gunfire. Amy chooses her husband's life over her religious beliefs, shooting Pierce from behind. Though she does not lose her emotional viewpoint on killing, she is able to put emotion aside and not let it interfere with what she ultimately realizes as a rational duty to herself and her husband.

Why does Charles Foster Kane force Susan Alexander to become an Opera Singer? Why is it so important to him? Kane’s friend Leland states that Kane always has something to prove it is also evident that throughout the movie Kane wants to be loved by the public; when Jim Gettys made it possible for the press to make public that Kane was having an affair the press called the mistress a “singer” as opposed to singer. Kane set out to make his lover Susan into an opera singer because this is to him the only way to recuperate from the scandal and to justify his relationship with Susan. Kane goes as far as to build a theater for Susan to perform in, Susan protested many times due to the bad reviews she was receiving, but Kane was hungry for public attention; Kane put his wife through various lessons and shows to make the public recognize his wife as a singer. We can also see that Kane might also enjoy his wife’s performances, as it is shown that often times he is left as the only person applauding Susan’s performances. The only way Kane was convinced to end Susan’s career was through her suicide attempt but even then he tried to convince her that she needs to fight for the approval of the people, which of course Susan declined.

With each letter in Les Liaisons dangereuses, Choderlos de Laclos advances a great many games of chess being played simultaneously. In each, the pieces—women of the eighteenth-century Parisian aristocracy—are tossed about mercilessly but with great precision on the part of the author. One is a pawn: a convent girl pulled out of a world of simplicity and offered as an entree to a public impossible to sate; another is a queen: a calculating monument to debauchery with fissures from a struggle with true love. By examining their similarities and differences, Laclos explores women’s constitutions in a world that promises ruin for even the most formidable among them. Presenting the reader glimpses of femininity from a young innocent’s daunting debut to a faithful woman’s conflicted quest for heavenly virtue to another’s ruthless pursuit of vengeance and earthly pleasures, he insinuates the harrowing journey undertaken by every girl as she is forced to make a name for herself as a woman amongst the tumult of a community that machinates at every turn her downfall at the hands of the opposite sex. In his careful presentation of the novel’s female characters, Laclos condemns this unrelenting subjugation of women by making clear that every woman’s fate in such a society is a definitive and resounding checkmate.
