The social ideology is a large contrast between “Groom Service” and “The Return”. In “Groom Service”, the society is dominated by females because Marie is shy and will not bully Bernard. It illustrates to the reader that women have the dominant position in the family. Therefore, it causes them not to take consideration of the husband’s feeling. In “The Return”, the society is dominated by males. Muthoni waited for Kamau until Kamau’s parents knew that the family cannot go on, so they gave her permission to leave. In fact, if Kamau’s parents do not give away their daughter – in – law, so Kamau can end up being with his wife. However, in “Groom Service”, no matter how hard Bernard tries to stay together with Doris; his desire will never be fulfilled.

Although by reading this essay you can figure out the role of the father as a negative character but in paragraph three, it gives the direct speech dialogue of the father when he had accidently broken a vase. By reading the dialogue of the father you can sense the harsh, threatening tone of his voice which gives a vivid image of his character. The vase that he has broken has a very symbolic meaning in this essay because it defines the role of the mother with its delicate and fragile state, it holds warmth and beauty, it makes a home complete with its existence. The breaking of the vase is symbolic because it foreshadows the fate of the mother, as the father’s actions break the vase; they eventually break the mother as well. In paragraph four more details of the father’s character are revealed by his negative choice of words such as the punishments he chooses for his children which

Is it possible to relate a character's patterns of adult behavior to early experiences in the family as represented in the story?

This piece relates the sad story of a couple that suffered the consequences of a pre-arranged marriage. It was arranged for her to marry a wealthy man from the village. In this piece the young woman fell in love with a poor young man from her village. They gave in to their love regardless of the consequences. They wanted to be together but they were always interrupted and separated by people or circumstances. It was sad to see that the family did not want that union to be a reality, solely because he was poor. Their struggle felt so real that they had me in suspense.

Throughout the times of the late 1600’s all the way up to the 1900’s, we have seen many ways how genders have been viewed towards the eyes of society. From taking care of their families to actually working, males and females had different gender statuses in the things they did and participated in. The different roles, perceptions and misperceptions that each gender role-played had a big influence in structuring a particular society and managing how things were being run. In the short play Tartuffe, by Jean-Baptiste Moliere and “Punishment”, by Rabindranath Tagore, we really see how males and females were distinguished; and how each of them were viewed, treated and played into a particular society. Orgon and Mariane from Jean-Baptiste Moliere and Dukhiram and Radha from Punishment are characters that played tremendous roles in their parts, which really showed the perception of the power of the man and the lack of respect a female had during those times.

She highlights the point that the roles of a wife are unfair to the role of a husband and that there is an obvious difference, inequality, between the roles of a husband and a wife. Exhausted by disparities in the household work and by the fact that the work done by a wife goes unnoticed, she daringly and sarcastically exposes her feelings. With this in mind, she demonstrates her point by giving all the household chores that are commonly performed by wife. “I want a wife who will have the house clean, keep mu clothes clean, ironed, mended, replaced when need be.” Hence, she establishes the scenario that women daily live and starts to argue against these

Fatherhood is universally associated with themes of dependability, authority and reliability. Ibsen’s A Doll’s House has a fair amount of fathers, however, few of them exhibit any of these characteristics. Instead of ensuring security for their families, fathers in A Doll’s House are disinterested in their children. Some of the fathers are renown liars, some are spreaders of the diseases of their infidelity and some cannot provide enough money to support their families but all fathers in this play are displayed as suboptimal human beings. Although A Doll’s House is famous for its themes of feminism, it is important that its obvious themes of misandry be discussed. Fathers in this play are portrayed as corrupt, as abandoners of their children, as liars and as spreaders of disease, proving that A Doll’s House is not a feminist work, but is in truth a play that encourages the hatred of fathers and to a lesser extent, men.

In Naga-Mandala,Karnad has borrowed the main plot of the story of Rani from ‘The Serpent Lover’ which he had heard long ago from Professor A.K. Ramnujan (1992-1993).

In Mangamma, through the opposites, TV Chandran portray the differences between idealism and the social reality, and women’s’ struggle to exists in that contradicting situation.
