Motherhood In Jane Villanueva's Jane The Virgin
In the TV show Jane the Virgin, the protagonist Jane Villanueva was artificially inseminated with Rafael sperm and now on this episode Jane and her family learn the ugly side of motherhood. Mateo had been born and since Jane had been so focused on being the perfect mother she had forgotten to worry about herself. Meaning she had been skipping her shower days, not fixing her hair, brushing teeth, the normal disciplinary body practices that we women do. Jane later on is encountered with some loud next door neighbors who seem to be wannabe rockstars and struggles to keep Mateo asleep. Jane has stepped into the role of Motherhood and is having to give up her time, work, and study for her new baby Mateo all by her self.

    Gender Roles In Jane Eyre

    Gender is a social status, a legal designation, and a personal identity and unlike sex, it is not determined biologically but rather it is determined by social constructs. In the novel Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Brontë, binary gender is explored. This novel questions the processes and practices that construct gender identities and gender social statuses. The characters in Jane Eyre clash with rigid feminine and masculine roles that are typically stereotyped but does not ultimately question the status quo. During the Victorian era, your gender determined what you were and were not able to do as well as how you went about achieving what you wanted to do. Jane, being the rebellious character that she is, criticizes the social roles of women…

    Analysis Of The Autobiography Of Miss Jane Pittman

    The first part of The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman consequently demonstrates an imitative nearness to the original slave narratives, narratives of runaway slaves. Oddly, such features make the writing into a “writerly” rather than a “readerly” text, to use Roland Barthes’s categories. The text is supposedly a transcription of interviews and the reproduction of a voice, the product of a dialogue, in the line of the written tradition of slave narratives where the authenticating documents themselves enter a complex dialogue with the slave narrative that follows. Nevertheless, because The Autobiography exhibits a tension between the history and the memory in African American literature, Gates’s classification of the “speaker” might support…

    Comparing Motherhood In Addie Bundren, Sethe, And Medea

    Motherhood can be a great honor and privilege to those who choose to be a mother. It can alter lives and change the basis of a woman’s world, as she creates life out of her own blood and flesh and becomes exposed to the purest form of love. Yet throughout history, motherhood has been warped; it is not always a choice for a woman to delight in and explore, it is sometimes forced upon her or used against her, making her a victim of her own womanhood. Although Addie Bundren, Sethe, and Medea made mistakes, some unforgivable, they were all victims of motherhood. From the moment they were inducted into motherhood, they were destined to fail, as their circumstances never boasted of success. They must not be judged just as we would judge an average…

    The Symptoms Of Hysteria In The Yellow Wallpaper

    It is seen within the beginning of the story that the woman had a baby, by the statements she gives about the child, making this a strong fit for post-partum depression. Now, as stated by The Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health, “About one in every 5 women will develop depression during the first few months postpartum that may be mild, moderate, or severe.” Postpartum depression mothers can contain many symptoms, such as thinking the baby might be better off without them, having a loss of appetite, feeling like they are not normal or not themselves lately, not being able to concentrate, feeling all alone, and even more (719). In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the woman starts out with moderate to severe symptoms, which increasingly lead up to even more severe ones. Such symptoms are shown in the text, like the woman explaining, "I don't weigh a bit more, nor as much; and my appetite may be better in the evening when you are here, but it is worse in the morning when you are away"(Gilman 83). This statement illustrates the loss of appetite symptom that many postpartum depression patients encounter, especially severe patients. Another symptom that shows up, is thinking the baby might be better off without her. This is displayed when she states that, “It is fortunate Mary is so good with the baby. Such a dear baby! And yet I cannot be with him, it makes me so nervous” (Gilman 78).…

    Allusions In Motherhood

    The relationship between an author and a reader is needed in all literature. In Motherhood: Who Needs it? the author makes a conscious effort to establish a positive relationship with the audience. The entire tone of the piece was informal which allows a reader to have a good response. When a persuasive piece is not in an informal tone it makes it harder to listen to and more difficult in which to connect. Rollins purposefully made it sound as if a friend was trying to convince you. Being persuaded by a friend is much easier than being persuaded by a stranger.…

    Analysis Of Michael Harper's 'A Mother Speaks'

    In “A Mother Speaks,” Michael Harper conveys the message on how the colored were treated unfairly through the use of imagery and mood. The poem was based on the Algiers Motel incident in Detroit where a couple of colored people were killed by white officers for no reason. “I was led away without seeing this plastic face they'd built that was not my son’s” (Harper). As the quote shows, imagery is used to convey the message when it describes the boy’s condition after being assaulted without any faults or offenses to the point in which his own mother did not recognize him. The reader gets attached to the story through the poem. When the boy says, “Oh I'm so sorry, officer, I broke your gun.” (Harper), the reader understands why the boy did not…
