In the play “Wit” by Margaret Edson, Dr. Vivian Bearing finds solace in her interactions with other people. Vivian solaces herself by viewing herself as superior to the other characters. Dr. Bearing does this repeatedly throughout the play during times that seem incredibly important to her treatments and (or) health. Dr. Bearing does this in order to prolong her superiority over others, thus helping her cope with the transformation she is undergoing. This may be Vivian exhibiting common traits among people who are incredibly intelligent, it might be a sign of her low self-esteem and confidence, or they have not got where they wanted to in life; however, this is not how Vivian uses it. Vivian uses a combination of analysis of people, acting disrespectful towards those people, and her knowledge of literature as tools to help her cope

In The Bell Jar, Silvia Plath presents Esther Greenwood, who struggles to fit into the traditional gender roles of the 1950s, and Doreen, who had the self-confidence to not let society bring her down.

Has it ever occurred to you that this generation tries to search for the next best thing? Is it like a business man try to look for the next best thing that everyone is buying? I mean if other people do it and there perfectly fine doing it we assume that we could do it and we think we will be just fine as well. Take those examples and try to use it with music. Do you think that what we listen to can affect us in any way or not? Maybe and maybe not, but some of us tend to get influenced by what they put into their heads. Not everything that we see or do can import negative thought or feelings, but listening is a part of that category as well. Therefore, what these artists are trying to do is trying to use a rhetorical device to tell us that

Throughout the year I have not only come to have a further understanding of literature and writing, but I have also gained the skill of analyzing works of literature and my own Essays while considering devices. Later in the year we focused on a short story by Mark Twain called The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County; after reading it, we were challenged to analyze the text through our understanding of literary and rhetorical devices.

“The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved” (Matthew Henry). Gender roles are how each human is supposed to act, speak, or dress according to their assigned sex. The world has always depended on them to make crucial decisions and they have marked every aspect of society. Several people have taken advantage of gender stereotypes to determine what to do with their lives or to come up with excuses as to why they are carrying out a task. Literature is one of the main agents that exposes human attitude towards life. It has been affected by time

It is important to teach children about gender roles since it is something that society holds in regards, but most of the time in literature it is done unequally. The portrayal of gender in literature is based off of the expectations of society and places bias on gender. Boys are portrayed as strong, adventurous, independent and capable and often play the roles of fighters, adventurers and rescuers. Girls are portrayed as sweet, naïve, dependent, sensitive and emotional and play roles such as caretakers, princesses and mothers. The roles of gender portrayed in literature are often a reflection of the views of society and do not offer objective insight. Even though it is important to teach children about gender roles, the fashion in which it is done in does not allow children to see beyond those expectations. If a young girl is constantly read stories about a woman’s role as a housewife, homemaker and mother, she will assume that’s what is expected of her and will not know society will allow her to be anything she wants to be.

The story ‘Back to You’ is the story of a woman who has lost her childhood love to war, and is reflecting on their time shared together, and the deep loss she feels. As she struggles to come to terms with her grief, the character searches for peace, and resolves to move forward with her life by the end of the piece. After experiencing grief of my own recently, I wished to use this intense emotional experience to depict a journey of catharsis, and connect my writing to my own personal context. In this way, the audience is able to relate to the emotional weight of the story. The text consists of only one character, who remains nameless, and who tells the story of her romance through flashbacks.

Throughout Uncle Tom’s Cabin there are “slave problems”,how slavery destroys and crumble families by splitting apart mother and child along with husband and wive.Stowe argues that these slavery brings out the femininity in a man, but it could be thought of the other way? In society Men and Women are given different characteristics that define the way they are suppose to act and how they appear internally and physically. Women are meant to have a feminine persona

The famous novel called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, begins with the story of a young boy named Huckleberry Finn who embarks on a journey with a runaway slave called Jim. When looking at the first twenty chapters of the novel, one can see a story of not only a runaway boy and slave, but a story that as well uses literary concepts such as Feminism and New Historian to uncover new insights about the characters, themes, and events of the novel. To begin with, the concept of feminism is one based on; “…[the] equal rights for all women (indeed, all peoples) in all areas of life…” (Bressler 144); and decline of existing male dominated views of women in areas such as literature and society. Thus, when using the Feminist concept in the novel, one can see a visual portrayal of women having a minor role in the novel compared to the dominate men such as Huckleberry Finn has.

is still not celebrated by the end of this time period. Like the previous authors Kate Chopan and Charlotte Perkins Gillman, Zora Neale Hurston and William Faulkner had messages centered around the independence of women. So far, independence has shown to be a commonality within all four authors. However, they also differ in their advancement. The advancement of women in between these two periods is of vast difference. During Chopan and Gillman’s time period, women had no equal rights or real sense of independence. Women were still viewed as best seen and not heard. By the time Hurston and Faulkner are writing their pieces, women’s suffrage movements have increased the awareness equality. By this time period women are not afraid to attempt masculine tasks, or defy to picture that society has
