Mrs. Dursley's Hatred About Lily Potter
Mrs. Dursley feels hatred about Lily Potter because she is a wizard, not normal and is special. Mrs. Dursley is just a Muggle and when she knows that her sister is special and is more powerful she gets mad because she wants to me the most powerfulest. She also hates her because she is not normal Mrs. dursley doesn’t like things that are different and when Dudley grew a tail she freaked out cause it also wasn’t normal. She also hates her because Lily was more specialer than her and her parents treated Lily better and Mrs.Dursley likes attention and since Lily got more attention as a kid it made Mrs.Dursley hate her. That’s why I think Mrs.Dursley hates Lily.

    For the most part, this jealousy is one sided. Clare makes it seem as if her life is luxurious, and graceful when it happens to be the complete opposite. Her trips to Europe, and wonderful stories are all cover ups for her deepest fears. She does her best to weave her way back to the black community. While her Husband is away she tries to attend black events, and even get close with Irene's husband. So much, to the point where there is an assumed affair going on with Irene’s husband and Clare. While Clare reenters the african american community and lifestyle, Irene struggles to fit in. She feels as if her life is being crumbled bit by bit. Their opposition is only that they would wish to be the opposite person. “Sitting alone in the quiet living room in the pleasant firelight, Irene Redfield wished, for the first time in her life that she had not been born a Negro. For the first time she suffered and rebelled because she was unable to disregard the burden of race. It was, she cried silently, enough to suffer as a woman, an individual, on one's own account, without having to suffer for the race as well. It was a brutality, and undeserved. Surely no other people so cursed as Ham's dark children.” Irene feels as if her race is a burden upon her life. Their Jealousy can also be linked to their similar thoughts. Both Clare and Irene wished that they were flipped. Clare wants to be able to live…

    “I hardly know whether it was the analogies or the differences that were uppermost in the mind of a young American who, two or three years ago, sat in the garden of the 'Trois Couronnes,' looking about him, rather idly, at some of the graceful objects I have mentioned” (354).…

    The late Mrs. Henry Dubose was the definition of a courageous soul, from the way she spoke her mind proudly, being a role model for future generations to her bravery in quitting her addiction. In a world where opinions are hidden, Mrs. Dubose was unlike any other. She shared her opinion, no matter who it harmed or helped, because she wanted to be heard. As Jem and Scout were passing Mrs. Dubose shared her opinion about their lives, exclaiming: “‘what are you doing in those overalls? You should be in a dress and camisole, young lady!’” (Lee 135). Mrs. Dubose was an experienced lady, so her knowledge of young ladies attire was vast, and it took a brave woman to give advice that could be heard as an insult. Because of Mrs. Dubose’s disconcern of social niceties, she was courageously going against a stream of people who disliked her.…

    Mrs. Dubose’s judgmental and bitter nature gives insight to Lee’s theme that the follies of one’s human nature can lead people to only see the worst in them. As Jem and Scout Finch simply walk past the house of Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose, she starts persecuting them on their appearance, actions, and the “wrongs” of their father. She automatically expects the worst of them, speculating that they must be up to no good. Mrs. Dubose even insults their father saying, “Your father is no better than the niggers and trash he works for!”(Lee 102). The spiteful behavior of Mrs. Dubose only offends those who encounter her. Her thoughts are unfiltered; letting her harsh judgements be known whenever she pleases. Mrs. Dubose fails to see the damage her…

    And she throws them all away. One of Lily's biggest issues is pride, which we can blame for these failed marriage opportunities. She's too proud to talk to Rosedale, to let Bertha think that Selden came to Bellomont to visit her, to explain her side of the story regarding the Monte Carlo affair, or to marry a man like Selden who isn't dripping hundred dollar bills out of his pores. She can't even allow herself to be true friends with a caring woman like Gerty because she's too "dingy." Time and time again, Lily recoils from any sign of poverty (or anything that isn't elaborate or doesn't represent extreme wealth) as though it were physically contaminating.…

    F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby establishes characterization through an intimate relationship between Daisy and Gatsby without ever explicitly discussing about it. When the two became lovers, Gatsby was surprised to discover that "it didn't turn out as he had imagined.” However, he did feel as though they were married after this encounter. This conveys an aspect of how Gatsby fell in love with Daisy’s allure rather than her personality and was blindly obsessed with being with her. Shortly later, the two are split apart for a length of time and end up reuniting after five years. It is suggested that they resume their sexual relationship and their affair is purely physical with no substance behind it. Once again, Gatsby fails to…

    Something both Dana and Alice would have in common more than just looks and skin color would be the subjects of the Weylin men’s tempers. For example, when Dana is caught by Tom reading in the cookhouse in front of Nigel “didn’t I tell you I didn’t want you reading!” (106) Tom justifies the whipping for disobedience on more than just reading “I treated you good and you pay me back by stealing from me” (106). What’s clear is Tom and Rufus both use guilt when they feel betrayed to lash out in anger, and furthermore to justify it. However, there is a parallel event here, when Dana and Kevin are caught leaving the plantation Rufus stops them at gun point “you were just going to leave…no thanks nothing at all” (185) Rufus feels that same betrayal…

    She states that it “wasn’t for me to fulfill my dreams of whut a woman oughta be and to do” (Page 16) which is something she doesn’t want Janie to experience because she wanted Janie to be treated equally. Nanny demonstrated male dominance by stating that “Ah don’t know nothin’ but what Ah’m told tuh do, ‘cause Ah ain’t nothin’ but uh nigger and uh slave.” (Page 17) Nanny’s experience as a slave gives her a perspective of how “de nigger woman is de mule uh de world so far as Ah can see” (Page 14) which is a metaphor that compares a black woman to a mule because mules are mistreated as well as black women. Janie starts to realize that women are considered minorities to men after she marries her first husband, Logan Killicks, and he starts treating her different as time passes. Although the reason that Nanny married Janie to Logan was for her granddaughter to be treated equally and like a woman, Janie starts to notice that that is not the case with neither Logan nor her second husband, Joe. Only until Tea Cake comes along, does she actually feel equally treated because he states, “yuh can’t beat uh woman,” (Page 96) which is something new to…
