What draws Mr. Duffy to her initially is her general disposition; she acts very calm and natural, and she isn’t too shy or awkward. She points out the numerous empty seats around them in the concert hall, but makes no fuss over it whatsoever. He also detects her intelligence and sensibility, both of which are important facets of Mrs. Sinico’s personality. To him, the most important of the traits he sees is her vulnerability. This is revealed briefly as her pupils momentarily “swoon” into the irises, indicating that she is open to his influence in ways she has not verbally stated. This is significant to Mr. Duffy because he knows that if she is vulnerable toward him, he can be dominant over her. The suggested attraction she has leads him to believe later on that “he would ascend to an angelical stature” in her eyes. He believes that this vulnerability is in fact a weakness in her character, and that she would hold him in a much higher esteem than anyone else in her life.

The transformation of love within context shapes Katharina’s personality in Taming of the Shrew. Kate’s transformation is submerged within a patriarchal context in this

His attitude toward her changes from mild admiration to meek, uncertain happiness at his engagement. Throughout these early periods of his courting and marriage to Helene, Pierre is weak-willed, bumbling, and awkward in all situations relating to his wife. It is only when rumors spread that she has been unfaithful that we see Pierre’s jealous side evoked, and he even goes so far as to nearly kill Helene, something completely unlike him up to this point. This jealous episode serves to humanize Pierre; in his jealousy (and in a broader sense, in his marriage) he is not the spiritually strong and indefatigable man he once was, an obvious result of his loveless, sham marriage.

Maybe they were through goading one another - I surely hoped so. I picked up my glass to take a sip of wine. I had been using this time to pretend to casually, gaze around the room. Myles Laveau caught my eye and smiled a half smile as he raised his glass to his lips. His date, the Baroness Portella, must have seen that his eye was otherwise entertained because she turned to glance over her shoulder at me. I saw the scathing stare she gave me through her thin, lacy veil- much like Boudreaux’s stare, it cuts to the bone. I half expected her to fling her drink into Laveau’s face, she seemed quite angry- but then, he leaned forward and whispered something in her ear and she turned to look at me again; this time, she smiled. I wondered what Myles had said to her for her to smile at me that way. The desire to know what he said was causing me to be anxious, as was the desire to see beneath the veil, but I needed to take care of the situation of my husband and lover goading each other first - I would ask Myles what was said between he and the Baroness the next time I was with him.

To begin, Meursault’s attitude and personality show he values in life honesty over anything. In the book, The Stranger, he says, “.. She wanted to know if I loved her. I answered the same way I had the last time, that it didn’t mean anything but that I probably didn’t love her."

Louis nearly flopped down into his chair, exhaling loudly as he did. Had he been holding his breath? It was then that I realized that I too had held mine… Who was she that she had that much power over the people in her presence? I hoped to find out when I saw Myles again.

Quint spent an excessive amount of time with Miles. He transcended his social class barriers and had undue sexual interest in everyone; when the Governess asks Mrs. Grose if the Master prefers young and pretty governesses, she assents: "Oh he did... it was the way he liked everyone!" She had no sooner spoken indeed than she caught herself up. "I mean that's his way-the master's" (**). It can be ascertained that the original character she refers to is Quint, who "liked everyone." The word "liked" suggests sexual interest. Looking at Quint's position in life, one would assume his social class would prevent him from involvement with people of a higher social class. However, this was not a barrier for Quint. "I've never seen one like him (Quint). He did what he wished... with them all" (**). This proves that Quint had almost unlimited freedom. By itself, this would not necessarily create dubiety about Quint's interest in Miles, but he also liked to spend an excessive amount of time with Miles. "For a period of months Quint and the boy had been perpetually together" (**). It defies reason that an older man who "liked" or had a sexual interest in everyone and who was lovely, would chose to spend extended periods of time with an exceptionally beautiful boy, Miles, without having a sexual interest in the child.

From the beginning Kaufman and Kundera illustrate for us that there is a mutual understanding between Tomas and Sabina. She recognizes and accepts his playful and wandering heart. It is obvious through her emotional and physical confidence that she knows Tomas sleeps with other women, but she does not care. This confidence is presented to us in the love scenes between Sabina and Tomas. With her erotic hat, kinky mirrors, and playful love making, back grounded by the up beat music, we are lead to believe that Sabina is as laid back about her love life as Tomas is.

A strong relationship with someone renders the difference of loneliness and happiness. The main theme throughout the short story “I know why the caged bird sings” is relationships. A young girl lost her voice due to unspeakable events. In dark times, it is the support of trusting individuals that provide comfort to your pain. In my life, I rely on the support of those I trust most.

In the story, “The Woman Destroyed”, written by Simone De Beauvoir, I find myself reflecting on Maurice’s infidelity towards his wife Monique. Monique is a woman who is in a crisis, whom then turns to friends and family for guidance after finding out that her husband is having an affair. However, the husband doesn’t see anything wrong with the affair, as he wants to be with both women, but still seeks his wife’s consent. Although, Monique allows the affair to linger, she finds herself deteriorating and questioning the meaning of her existence along the way. Based on my observation, I can tell that Monique has an exceptionally overwhelming love for her husband, which in return caused her to become blind to what was really happening.

In the beginning of the book, Marc praises Alice's appearance, notably her blue eyes by stating, "I am proud of those eyes" (Colette 1). This interprets as a compliment at first; however, as Alice notices that Marc's ex-wife also has blue eyes, she nervously asks, "Why didn't you ever tell me that she had blue eyes, too?" (Colette 2). Alice's sudden change in mood shows how greatly affected one is by another woman's beauty. Alice's eyes are very important to her not because they are charming, but because Marc finds Alice’s blue eyes special. Thus, if the previous wife has the same eyes, she could be as special to Marc previously. This specific detail about Marc's previous wife makes Alice envy the other woman. In addition, Alice envies Marc's ex-wife for her independence. The narrator describes the ex-wife as, "…was smoking, head resting against the back of the cane chair, her eyes closed with an air of satisfies lassitude" (Colette 2). This description points out the independence and confidence in the woman, as she evidently did not feel the need to interfere between anybody and simply did not heed about Marc and Alice's presence in the same restaurant as herself. The woman was continuing to enjoy her singlehood without needing the company of a man to make her feel important. Whereas, Alice is virtually leaping out of her seat from

The overall theme of the story is that relationships are tough when they consist of certain traits. This is shown through the story 's character, tone and symbolism.

After returning home to Ithaca and removing all the animals from my palace, I was finally able to spend time with my beloved wife Penelope. She aged since the last time I’d seen her. There were dark circles under her eyes, and she was much thinner. I knew I caused this; I felt terribly sorry. But nevertheless, she is still my beautiful queen. Her silky dark locks of hair fell around her lovely cheekbones. It wasn't just her hair or her high jawline that got me. Oh no, it was her eyes. She has the eyes that you can look into and get lost within its bottomless depths. She has the alluring grey eyes long lashes. It’s not just the unique color that I love, it is also the passion, the faith, the strength, and the knowledge that are held within

Sir Toby finally has to point out that "‘accost' is front her, board her, woo her, assail her" all in all this makes a very confusing scene. The other two women (Viola and Olivia) are used to add comedy through mistaken identities, since Olivia believes Viola to be a man and falls in love with her. In (2.2.20-21) Viola discovers that Olivia is in love with her and exclaims: "For she did speak in starts distractedly. She loves me, sure; the cunning of her passion". While there are a great deal of comedic scenes there are also those with great sentiment in them.
