Just like the author, until we see the world, our experiences will be the only thing we use to judge the world off of. Some have firsthand experiences of inequality and some do not. Some are exposed to it early in life and some still live in oblivion. While the author was growing, men and women played different roles. The men he knew worked

He flaunted his mistress around the town so bluntly as to show that he cared nothing about Delia or their marriage. He was the worst husband possible and did everything he could to disrespect and belittle his wife

The one in which appears similar to today's society. Everyone thought Equality was cursed, but many people think and sometimes act the exact same way that Equality acted throughout the novel. When faced with being outcasted, people tend to be depressed. But, Equality persevered and was able to do great things for the better of his fellow man, even when they treated him like he was nothing but a peasant; a street sweeper. Just because society treats others who do not follow their trends like people who are weird and outdated does not mean that they can make a difference. It is because of innovators like Equality that the world even has a society to begin

The author shows a great example of the power these men had against these women in the village. In the time period this story took place, it was amazing to the author to witness that gender inequality was still a very big issue in some places. The author described how shocked she was when she found out that these women were not allowed to

In addition to this, he also slept with other women and by doing this, he did not respect his wife and again, only thought of himself.

In the speech “Against Neaera,” Apollodorus seeks to discredit and attack the character of Neaera in an attempt to seek vengeance and implicate Stephanus in the crime of marrying a non-Athenian citizen. A particular section of the speech that appeared important and intriguing to me was when Apollodorus begins to attack Phano’s marriage to Theogenes. He claims that during this marriage Phano was illegally and sacrilegiously allowed to perform and see “the secret rituals of the city” (169). I believe that it was a clever strategy to appeal to the jurors’ pathos by shaping the argument and his speech in a way that instigates outrage at the complete disregard that Stephanus and Neaera showed for the religious sanctity of these rituals. It is interesting

When told “‘I know how much you will miss him’… she answered, ‘I already have.’” showing that they have grown apart way before Phil passed away. This discussion reveals pathos, as a result the reader feels sympathy for the wife, as a consequence she does not know Phil anymore. Phil’s kids are different, it seems as if they never even knew their father.

“In Venice, they do let god see the pranks they dare not show their husbands.” This shows what kind of social background he has had and his low opinion of women.

In the second half of the book, the narrator loses his optimism and naivety and in place finds anger, frustration, and passion. Eventually the narrator ends up joining a social equality movement called the

The concept of the hunt in “Monologue for an Onion” is essential to understanding the poem’s commentary on human desire and failure to comprehend the intricacies of life. The heart, skin, and secret core are the three concepts attached to the idea of the hunt that humanity is on. They each contribute a vital piece to understanding just why the Onion is suggesting that humanity is flawed when it comes to their pursuit of happiness and finding life’s true meaning. The heart symbolizes both what is beautiful about the Onion and what is beautiful about humanity. Skin is the essence of the hunt taking place because it is the brush that the hunter has to go through to find its prize. The secret core is the mystery of life itself and

The idea of using an onion to represent your love for someone may be laughed at. However, the onion could metaphorically speaking represent the many layers of love or how love is bitter sweet. Duffy shows how an onion could mean a lot more than invaluable gifts such as ‘a rose or a satin heart’. She shows how these ordinary gifts are just stereotypes or clichés and expresses how she thinks that love should be represented by

The two metaphors in each poem have meanings that are very similar. The onion represents her heart and the suitor represents happiness. Although they are different they both rely on each other in the poems. Without finding the onion’s heart, the man is broken and is unable to find happiness, and the happiness that is given by the suitor comes from him from love inside her heart. A representation of this can be found in “The monologue of an onion” when it is said “you are the one in pieces” this man is so distraught at not finding her heart, his heart is breaking into pieces as well. In the suitor it is stated that she is finally happy, and it slowly came as suitors went into her life bringing her love.

Throughout the poem, Duffy utilises the use of symbolism to compare love to an onion. This symbolises, that although love is said to be euphoric, it can also provoke tears. An example of this can be seen in lines 7 and 8 where Duffy says, "It will blind you with tears like a lover. " By this, she means that onions contain a strong chemical in which causes us to cry when we cut them; similar to when we are crying over

His wife does nothing about his actions to protect his reputation, which gives him more pride and power in his wrong acts.
