On the floor is the Skyy vodka bottle and a man in a suit between her arm and body who seems to be passed out with his arms spread apart with a tie covering his eyes.

present different contexts for women as objects of desire. In Jane Eyre there are clear characters that represent this, like Blanche Ingram. However Blanche is not a conventional woman of the nineteenth century Victorian era when Jane Eyre was set in. During this time women had virtually no rights. The ideal Victorian woman was pure, chaste, refined, and modest. Jane’s view on this is “Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel”, this is an example of how Jane Eyre

The audience experiences how white women are treated equal to men present day. “For one thing, Miss Maudie can’t serve on a jury because she’s a woman” (Lee 221). In the 1930s women weren’t aloud to serve on a jury, but now in present day they can. Since they changed the laws women are now treated almost as equal as men. They can now do the same jobs as men even though they may not be as good as

She states, “And ain’t a woman?” when talking about how she can work like a man, eat like a man, and take lashings like a man (Truth, 1851). In this statement of, “ain’t I a woman?” she is questioning the treatment of black women verses white women as well as all women verses men (Truth, 1851). Another point of discrimination against women is one’s intelligence, but rights

Joyce Carol Oates is usually more subtle and inventive. Such is the case in "Naked," the story of a forty-six year old woman whose placid outer identity is ripped away by a brutal assault while out hiking not far from her fashionable, University Heights neighborhood. Like many of Oates' stories—and in this regard she probably owes something to Flannery O'Connor—"Naked" focuses on a woman so entrenched in her rigid self-image that nothing short of violence could make her vulnerable to a humbling, though

In the passage we can see that Sofia is not the type of woman to be abused, and she is the polar opposite of what people expect to see from a black woman during this

series of untitled film stills over a five-year span. Each of these stills depicts Sherman playing a different role as a woman in society. Although Sherman did not try to portray a message of feminism in her art, it was inevitable during this time period. When looking at her stills, women now, and in the 80’s saw a message of female empowerment. They saw a beautiful, confident woman making a statement and it made them want to make a statement to. Even though these stills are not on display in a museum

Chris Innis English 1102 Ms. Whittaker Paper 1, Final Draft 2/5/13 The Color Black Sherman Alexie’s short fictional story, “Do You Know Where I Am,” begins with a Native American narrator named David, and he tracks his relationship with his wife, Sharon, until her untimely death at the end. All was peachy with this couple until they happened to stumble upon a black cat that an elderly couple had lost some time ago.

upon Sexton by society. In the first stanza of three, Sexton ignites the theme of isolation for the persona, who is a “possessed witch (Sexton 1), “haunting the black air” (2) and “dreaming evil” (3) while a “lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind” (5). Sexton’s descriptions of the deranged persona as well as her actions emphasizes the witch's alienation and “separation from society” (Constantakis) or unconventional nature. Sexton’s first stanza radiates her “...magic of words with which to transform

that the best part of a woman is the vagina, in comparison to the bees; who are portrayed as a whole being who work and pollinate the flowers. In addition, flowers have very passive characteristics and seem to be object of beauty. Once they wither they lose their charming affect, in contrast to the bee dies when it releases it sting which is a form analyzing the release of the penis.
