Alice Munro Gender

Decent Essays
Hello classmates,

Alice Munro's "Boys and Girls", has a theme about gender roles through life on a farm and the meaning is found throughout the different functions of the farm. Feminism is the underling theme that constantly asks why does the role of the girl have to change. At the start the author's narration seems to be simply about pelts on a farm. The narrator which is the nameless girl, is the character that I was drawn to. All the other characters were secondary to me and were not as interesting as the narrator. They had their function and helped tell the story. The literary element that Alice Munro chooses is the setting and the usage of the characters. The setting is on a farm with stereotypical roles. The father works outside and

    The enduring value of speeches lies in its ability to evoke emotions and persuade audiences with conviction while addressing controversial and complex issues. This is explored in Margaret Atwood’s speech, “Spotty Handed Villainess” (1994) and Doris Lessing’s speech, “On not winning the Nobel Prize” (2007) which heavily explores the differences between first world and third world countries. Both these composers address the issues of injustices in their society and they are driven to deliver their speeches with the desire the challenge the audience’s perceptions and shift their understanding of the world. Atwood’s speech was published after the third wave feminism which embraces contradictions and conflicts, accommodating for diversity and change,…

    The roles of women reflected in the late nineteenth century up until the 1960’s were known to be portrayals of the perfect housewife or of one who lacked status. Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl” and Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” both represent the gender role that was expected of woman in their time period and their restrictions to having their own identity. Mrs. Mallard and Girl are similar because they both lack their own true identity and have expectations from others as to how they should act and who they should be. A common theme shown in both stories is repression.…

    Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm was popularly known as the “Grimms Brothers”, were characterized as one of the most dramatic writers in the 19th century. They were categorized by their short, simple sentences, colloquial language, and their well-organized approach to craft writings. Their writing was entitled Little Snow White, it was released in 1937 and it was about Snow White, a princess who falls into a deep, death-like rest after taking a bite from a poisoned apple. My impression about this narrative was an innocent little girl who had her step-mother hating her because of her beauty and kind-heart.

    The Sweet Girl Graduate by Sarah Curzon focuses on this specific representation of gender where the heroine of the play is attempting to comply to societal norms by cross-dressing in order to receive a higher education. The heroine is obliging to the gender hierarchy that exists, and as a result, this portrays the heroine as someone who is attempting to break away from male dominance, while at the same time accepting it as women were expected to. The representation of gender roles in The Sweet Girl Graduate creates a contradictory perception of what women are meant to achieve in the play, and this is due to the portrayal of the heroine as a free individual; however, at the same time she is subjected to follow the status quo forced…

    In the article by scholar Carol Bailey, his focus is on the idea “preserving the self” Bailey states that readers of “Girl” only observe only the fictional representation of how to educate a child. Bailey points out how the speaker of “girl” provides many guidelines of living and lectures to the girl, but the girl has no room for discussion to defend herself. The idea that there is no room for discussion comes from the repetitions of “This is how” in Kincaid’s work “Girl” (Bailey 108). The constant nagging to a child of “This is how” gives the child no sense of just simply learning from her mistakes, instead she has to always strive to be correct. In order for women to be successful they need to appropriately perform their gender based on their culture, constantly being judge whether they do or…

    Voltaire’s Candide: Women’s Role in Society Women during the 1700s, the time period during which the novel is set, understood they had very little power; and it was only through men that they could exert any influence. Women at this time were seen as mere objects that acted as conciliation prizes for the gain of power and their sole use was for reproduction. Maintaining the duty of tiding the home and looking after the children, no outlet for an education or a chance to make a voice for themselves. Men acted as the leading voice in society, making all substantial decisions for women. The hierarchy of genders was ever so present and was based on the physical differences between men and women.…

    During an individual’s childhood, everyone must have heard of numerous fairy tales such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Pan and etc. A number of fairy tales have a particular message to the audience, such as Hansel and Gretel taught children not wander around, yet we listened to the stories we were told and never questioned them. As we got older and read the stories again, we can perceive that certain fairy tales can illustrate negative messages. One of the pessimistic influences of fairy tales is the portrayal of the women, particularly of the princesses. In this essay, I will examine the Brothers Grimm’s “Snow White and discuss the role of women and how they are portrayed in fairy tales.…

    Feminist Perspective and Subtle Critiques in Alice Munro’s “The Bear Came Over the Mountain” and “Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage.” Alice Munro’s stories “The Bear Came Over the Mountain” and “Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage” both subtly expose her feminist perspective and critique societal norms of relationships between men and women. Both stories have been turned into films that remain true to Munro’s views concerning relationships and love, as well as expose the entitlement of the male gender role and its interconnection with class and age. In Robert McGill’s article “No Nation but Adaptation” he asserts that Sarah Polley, the director of “Away From Her," adapt’s Munro’s story into her own while…

    The effect of a male-dominated society on the school system’s curriculum includes reading poems and stories that have men holding power over women. The female protagonist begins to challenge the required literature at her school because the female characters are not good role models for young women since their downfalls are a result of being too eager to please and trusting the wrong men. In the story, the young girl questions what purpose these weak female characters serve in the classroom: “why did we have to study these hapless, annoying, dumb-bunny girls?” (Atwood 224). This quotation aids in understanding why Atwood’s female narrator identifies with the Duke as opposed to the Duchess because it illustrates her yearning for females to be represented as powerful and intelligent instead of merely an object that men can easily push around.…

    In Munro’s writings, one of her key focal points is the relationship between family members with components of gender and sexuality, between husband and wife in the case of Dimension, and between parents and children in the case of Train. However, the characters in each are affected in similar ways and suffer the same negative outcome of feeling trapped throughout most of the story. One literary critic, Dahlie, asserts: On the surface, much seems straightforward – family relationships, ordinary friendships, love affairs – but Munro’s vision often invests these situations with a degree of moral chaos and a destructive force rather than with positive tendencies we customarily associate them with” (Dahlie 12) In Dimension, Doree learns that both…
