“The Fifi Bird” recounts a small crippled child abandoned by her people. While she is lying in the center of the village, a beautiful Fifi bird flies to a tree and begins swinging from the vines. The bird fascinated the little girl and as she struggled to move closer, the bird flew away. The child climbed up the tree herself and began to swing from the vine just like the Fifi bird had. As she was swinging, two men from the Bira tribe, enemies of the Mbuti, saw the girl. They called her “disgusting, ugly, diseased, and crippled” and they raised their weapons to kill the child. But all attempts to hurt her failed and the weapons kill one man and badly injure the other. A cycle occurs of men entering the village attempting to kill the child but

In this passage, the death of working buffalo highlighted the double-sided nature of the village. For example, on page 94, the narrator heard a rumor that the headman was in on allowing a “slaughter of a buffalo”. Slaughtering a working buffalo is illegal in the village, but the headman is somehow bribed to let it happen. Violent diction is used within the first quote to describe how someone used physical force to take the buffalo’s life.When a death is considered violent, it usually strings from a murder, making the death not an accident. The author also uses selection of detail when describing taking the buffalos life. For instance, “There was some confusion about which buffalo would be killed and in what manner because it was against the law to slaughter working animals that were used in the field.” By using the words “killed” and “slaughtered” in the same sentence, the quote portrays the confliction of slaughtering or killing the buffalo as if “killing” it would be more humane. A Little further in the passage there is situational irony when the headman gets ready so “the animal could be put out of its misery.” This situational irony brings in

He is described as a selfish man, still not caring for his family as he lay sprawled across the bed in a way that indicated “thinking only about himself” (73). After dinner when he falls into deep sleep, she takes advantage and looks for the knife she had prepared earlier on. Garesego falls to sleep without expecting anything wrong from his victim as Bettelheim describes, and if the victim does not act how the oppressor expects, his delusional creation will not become real. With her “ precise hardworking hands” she cuts off his genitals in one stroke, and does not miss seeing one detail of his death as he bleeds out (73). The manner in which Dikeledi faces her husband shows the deep psychological trauma woman lived with their husbands; furthermore, the power men have over women in this culture.

When October Baby directors Andrew Erwin and Jo Erwin asked actress Shari Rigby to play the birthmother Cindy, Rigby had no idea how hard the role would hit home for her. After reading the script, Rigby confessed to the directors that she herself had had an abortion at a young age, and that the birth mother in the movie resembled her life past so well.

Here is the dialogue that tells us about her- and her relation to her husband.

Nonetheless, the disclosure that surrounds the rape of the woman does not break away from the customary views on violence especially towards women. In the entire movie, women are depicted and viewed as extremely traditional and passive. They are supposed to follow whatever is required from them. Gender through the movie exists in the similar way through which race exists. The society in the movie is largely patriarchy, and gender is unconsciously used for the purpose of justifying oppression and patriarchal

The old barn was gloomy, but the light of the sun came gleaming in through the cracks of the barn, and made the straw glimmer like little tiny bits of gold, and the cracked shingles on the roof were in disrepair, however, the structure was sturdy, but it looked as if it was about to collapse, and the wood that surrounded it was worn with age, but gave it a charming character. In the inside of the barn, hay covered the floor as if it was a shield from danger, and standing in the middle of the barn with her hands on her hips was Hulga. She was staring toward the posterior of the barn at the ladder leading up to the loft romanticizing about Pointer and how their passions will ignite. Similarly, like the floor of the barn hay also covered the floor

In the story of The Bloody Chamber, Angela Carter attacks the conventional gender roles of women. The conventional Gothic plot revolves around pursuit. A young heroine’s virtuous virginity, purity and innocence is sexually threatened. Thus, what Carter does in “The Bloody Chamber” is redefine female desire and sexuality which are rendered passive and repressed through traditional Gothic texts. Where the mother exemplifies the heroic woman, the “girl” is the traditional damsel in distress. Maria Makinen’s assessment of Carters feminine characters is both truthful and incorrect. Carter uses traditional female stereotypes as well as her unique women to make a contrast between these perceptions of women.
