Mary Shelly acme portrays women as passive, innocent, and disposable. The women are used for nothing more than a way to get to the male characters. Things happen to the women usually in order to teach the men a lesson or create emotion within the men. Throughout the novel, it is evident that every female character has a sole purpose for an ephemeral amount of time and then is no longer needed.…

One of the aspects of modernism is “departing from standard ways of representing characters.” In The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway breaks away from the standard representations of characters, most drastically seen in the character of Lady Brett Ashley. First off, this woman has a man’s name, initially suggesting that she is not a ‘normal’ lady. Brett also has traits that are not generally feminine, but rather masculine. For example, Brett is extremely independent, and she tends to have a great deal of power over every man she meets. She is always the dominant one in her relationships, and never commits to any one man, rather she prefers independence. She is manipulating and causes tension between other men, much like traditional male characters. Unlike traditional female roles, she is…

Her name was Emily Grierson. A woman who's life has been the talk of the town, ever since her father died. Written by William Faulkner, he brings this character alive using many details and descriptions of her and her environment. He describes her in ways that give us insight into her personality. She is a small, fat, woman who's frame was small. "Her eyes, lost in the fatty ridges of her face, looked like two small pieces of coal pressed into a lump of dough " (Faulkner pg. 81) This depiction implies that Emily has a stare and eyes that are very unnerving. In one instance he writes her as having short hair making her look like a girl and a resemblance to angels in church windows. This was after her father died and shows an almost kind of shift in her personality, almost blissful. " cold, haughty black eyes as you imagine a lighthouse-keeper's face ought to look." (Faulkner pg. 84) A lighthouse-keeper is probably awake…
Have you ever found yourself worried sick about money to the point where you can no longer think straight? Or have you ever thought that if you had a million dollars, everything in your life would be absolutely perfect? The fact is, a million dollars isn't reality for the everyday average person. The average person works hard for a living barely scraping by. We are reminded of this throughout Lorraine Hansbury's play A Raisin in the Sun. One of the main themes in this play is that money can't buy happiness. The character who best conveys this theme is Walter Younger, a lean, intense young man in his middle thirties, who works as a chauffer in order to support his family. In my opinion, this character fits this theme because of how he believes money can provide true happiness for him and his family. However, certain actions change his mind in the end, allowing him to realize that there might be more to life then money.…
