This film seems to be reinforcing the notion that women are weaklings and that the only way in which any society can survive is by upholding male dominance and embracing female submissiveness. The movie begins by showing Cinderella living happily with her parents in a faraway kingdom.…

    In the 1600s, a patriarchal society cast a glooming shadow on the world of literature. Women were expected to be restricted to household tasks, while only men had the opportunity to write. Hence, Anne Bradstreet became a symbolic figure of female writing as she became the first published female poet in the New World. Her writing served as a window to observe the newly discovered land. Although she writes about and consistently emphasizes her devotion to God that the conventional Puritan beliefs promote, Bradstreet implicitly shows a priority for world pleasures.…

    Should gender stop someone from being who they want to be? During the early seventeenth century, many social barriers prevented people from being themselves, such as remaining the gender they were born with throughout their whole life. Any movement and straying from their gender, based on their biological sex, was not acceptable and was looked down upon. Societal structure and law made very clear that biological sex must be the same as sexual orientation. However, in the play Twelfth Night, or What You Will, Shakespeare creates Viola to manipulate gender ambiguities that allow her to express her true feelings and emotions to ultimately prove that gender is irrelevant in a relationship.…

    Tim Burton’s beautifully haunting production of ‘Edward Scissorhands’ introduces our protagonist, represented by Johnny Depp, and explores the fictional story of this solitary boy with an unfortunate seemingly threatening oddity, being thrust into a world where he is glaringly blatant in the midst of the suburbs. Despite his intimidating exterior, it is almost immediately exposed that Edward is just an innocent, childlike soul, intent on serving others. The purpose of this film was to delve into the threatening manner of suburbia and its dismissive views on originality. Burton shattered cliches and stereotypes of who ‘monsters’ are by introducing the monster in the form of townspeople. As Tim Burton’s individual ordeals are translated into…

    What Is It to be Considered a Specific Gender While Judith Butler’s claim in her essay “From Undoing Gender” is challenging, complex, and comprehensible, she provides somewhat enough evidence and analysis of David Reimer’s case to prove her claim that society uses language to set the norms of what a gender should be and how one should act in accordance with one’s gender.

William and Colomb have expounded that, “The more readers resist a claim, the…
