The She 's The Man By Viola Hastings

In the poem “It’s a Woman’s World,” Eavan Boland uses many poetic devices such as alliteration, simile, and enjambment in order to explain life from a woman’s point of view and how women have lived the same since the beginning of time.

In the article “Men, Women, and Money” by Olivia Mellan was based on factors about both genders differentiating financially. Men and women originally are divergent they either spend money responsibly or ignorantly. In a relationship money is key to a variety of open doors for a couple which could bring them together or leave a blank space. The thought of currency possibly leads to an emotional overload that is where avoider, worriers, and hoarders come into place. An avoider is technically benighted whereas a worrier is concern methodically if something goes wrong with their spending and a hoarder feels deprived when they don’t spend. Accordingly, Men are categorized to make more money than women, but also feel the necessity to gain power

Gender equality is one of the main focuses in the Shakespearean play Twelfth Night. The movie “She’s the Man” is inspired by this play. The movie “She's the Man” challenges traditional views of males and females in society. In the movie, Amanda Bynes’s coach informs her soccer team that there will no longer be a girl’s team throughout the rest of the year. Unhappy about her coach’s statement, Amanda suggests that the girls should collaborate with the boys and play together on one team. The boys and coach find the idea to be laughable and disagree. When Amanda’s star athlete older brother runs off to travel the country to go on tour with his band, he convinces Amanda to disguise herself as him until his return. She pretends to be him for two

She's the Man is version of the play Twelfth Night which is about a girl dressing up as a boy to protect herself. In the movie She's the Man, Viola dresses like her twin brother, Sebastian, to enter the soccer team. The Character in the film has the same names as the characters in the play.

movie varies greatly from the original play. The frivolous tone of this adaptation fails to epitomize the historical setting, depth of characters, and poetic magnificence of this comedic play. In She’s The Man the plot revolves around Viola, and her struggle to be recognized as a professional soccer player. When the girls’ team at her school is cancelled, she decides to disguise herself as her twin brother Sebastian (who coincidentally leaves for London to pursue his passion in music) in order to join the boys’ soccer team at his boarding school. However she is instantly captivated by her new roommate Duke Orsino, and he asks her to divulge his fervent and vehement love for their classmate Olivia. The movie essentially modernizes the play in order to remove the boring stigma associated with Shakespeare’s plays but with some futile additions that distort or are gross misrepresentations of the original play.

When I was a child my parents pushed me toward physical activities such as football and other sports, while on the other hand my sister was pushed toward things like music and arts. Whenever I would hurt myself my parents would laugh it off, but they were quick to aid my sister in the event she was hurt. As most people know, women and men are treated differently in how they should act. Men cannot show their emptions, while women are expected to be emotional. Society has strict guidelines on what it means to be a man and a woman, and these guidelines can have negative effects on both genders.

I chose to see this movie not because it was considered one of the greatest film noir at all times but simply because it was starring Orson Welles. Orson was a persona and I thought it would be great to see him again. Certainly the role he played as ‘dirty’ Harry with brilliant monologues and sharp humor was simply fabulous.

The Revolution released the potential for America to become very democratic; allowing space for political and social struggles to spread ideas of freedom and challenge the old way of doing things. Ideas of liberty invigorated attacks on both British and domestic American foundations and so did the beliefs of equality in the Declaration of Independence, which caused many in society who were seen as the substandard bunch such as women, slaves and free blacks to question the sanction of their superiors.

We do however see Viola’s reasoning for this gender change. Women are dehumanized and misrepresented in 21st Century societies. Sexism runs rampant as individuals, like Viola, aren’t able to engage in things that everyone should be able to partake in- things like sport, for instance. By faking her gender, Viola attempted to break these harsh gender barriers, and to simply be treated equally.After Viola, uh, Sebastian revealed his, or her, real gender at a soccer game, Duke and her were smitten and all over eachother. This may come to an end as we recently spoke to Viola. “I may go back to being a man. I was seen as tough and was allowed to play the sports I like without being judged.” Soon after the interview, Duke Orsino, Viola’s new love tweeted “He or she, I love this person!”. Quickly after the media acted with sexuality rumours, Duke quickly deleted the tweet. Now the questions remain, is Viola meant to be Sebastian and has Duke’s sexuality changed?

In the past couple of weeks, there have been a string of sexual assault allegations against several famous and powerful men. While going through the details of these allegations, I began noticing a distinct pattern, these men have been committing their crimes for years. How they were able to commit their crimes for years, decades even, unscathed was no accident. Why is it so hard for women to be believed and listened to when they speak about the abuse that they have experienced at the hands of men? And how can we move towards true equality between men and women?

Deborah Gray White’s book, Ar’n’t I a Woman? Female Slaves in the Plantation South, emphasizes the importance of the need for writing about the history of slave women. White lists many examples of theories of slavery that do not include women specifically or generalizes both genders. Due to the lack of source material on slave women in particular, historians “do black women a disservice when we rob them of a history that placed them at the side of their men in their race’s struggle for freedom” (White, 22). To right this mistake, White uses slave narrative, memoirs written after the civil war, the Works Projects Administration’s interviews with female ex-slaves, and historical/anthropological research to depict the social history of slave women in the antebellum South (White 24). The purpose of White’s book is to solely “enrich our knowledge of antebellum black culture and to serve as a chapter in the yet unwritten history of the American black woman” (White, 25).

Women of today and in the past face many different challenges. As we learned from my last essay all women don’t experience things the same. As we should now know this view of feminism is intersectionality. Which this concept was developed by Kimberle Crenshaw. Intersectionality covers different views of women’s lives, such as sexuality, gender race, education, religion and etc...

In the past, women were seen as a part of properties of men. They don’t have rights nor power. At most time, they can’t even help themselves. According to Anthony, who was a famous suffragette during the Progressive Era, which is a period of time people were suffering, ” In case of divorce on account of adultery in the husband, the innocent wife is held to possess no right to children or property, unless by special decree of the court”(“Declaration of Rights for Women”). The author illustrates how women were powerless in the past. The laws were unfair to women, so they can’t help themselves.

InTwelfth Night her male name is Cesario and in She’s the Man her male name is Sebastian. Throughout the play and movie her strengths and weaknesses shown. Both Shakespeare and Fickman, attempted to make Viola look like and act a male in order to fool other characters. In the movie Viola had side burns, these are referred to in a couple of scenes, but Fickman tries to make the audience more aware of the sideburns in the scene where Sebastian meets Viola for the first time

She’s the Man, directed by Andy Fickman is filled with comedy, drama, and teenage love, as well as the underlying message to go out and reach your goals no matter the challenges one must go through to reach them. Even if that means dressing up and pretending to be your twin brother; which is exactly what Viola Hastings does in She’s the Man. The film takes you through the life of Viola Hastings as both Viola and Sebastian Hastings, and her struggle to be both people simultaneously. She’s the Man is a perfect fit for those who enjoy a good teenage drama told through comical events.
