“She saw ghosts of herself everywhere here. A twenty-three-year-old Miranda with the wrong clothes and her hair sticking up, washing her hands and peering anxiously at herself in the ladies room mirror; a twenty-seven-year-old recently divorced Miranda slouching across the lobby with her sunglasses in place, wishing she could disappear, in tears because she’d seen herself on a gossip website that morning and the headline was agonizing: IS ARTHUR SECRETLY CALLING MIRANDA?

I am who I am. I talk to each and every one of you everyday. I promise you that you know me well. I will tell you a story that takes place in a particular town, where as strange as it was, no one left, and no one entered it. It existed just as you and I did, breathing, living, and suffering. A scream escaped Rue’s lips, when she awoke from her dream, as her hollow gray eyes darted back and forth, confirming her surroundings. Her arms ached from a memory of excessive pain from being beaten by her

When discussing feminist characters, it’s easy to get caught up on the more overtly feminine personalities, such as Elle Woods from “Legally Blond” or perhaps Dorothy Gale from “The Wizard of Oz”.

Throughout the film, Clarice Starling, played by Jodie Foster, silently breaks gender roles in order to compete with the male

Dominance and Self-control of a Psychopathic Cannibal In a world of war, a TV series may hold the perfect example of why humans demonstrate the need to fight, win, and constantly change power. In a comparison of Nietzsche’s theory of Will and NBC’s new series Hannibal, we begin to discover that the prominence of self-importance and dominance are at fault for our destructive nature.
