Because of Lennie’s disability, George could not always treat him as a friend, but sometimes more as a child.

    One of the concepts Shakespeare explores in Much Ado About Nothing is that of the different natures of relationships. Throughout the play, Shakespeare sets up two distinct pairs of lovers, both exemplifying a different model of relationship. Shakespeare contrasts two ideals of relationships, one of which being a relationship of immediacy based on necessity and a need to fulfill social norms, and the other being a relationship that is based on genuine feelings of love that are cultivated slowly and thoughtfully over time. The conversation between Anthony, Leonato, Beatrice, and Hero in Act Two Scene One, regarding how Hero should respond to her impending proposal, contributes to this exploration of differing types of love by juxtaposing the nature of relationship that Anthony, Leonato, and Hero subscribe to with the differing ideal of relationship that Beatrice favors.…

She, instead, has gone through marriage, has lost her voice, and has used shrewd dispassion as way to deal with the emptiness of her own love. To cope with the tragedy of Little Flower made a spectacle, the mother calls her an “animal” (387).…

    Robert Browning’s poetry shows the power imbalances in male and female relationships and often takes the form of dramatic monologue to show the differences between men’s motivations and women’s. In Browning’s ‘My Last Duchess’, an authoritative and rich Duke is made to feel powerless as a result of his wife’s misplaced affections. The favourable qualities of his wife, such as her kindness and gratitude, are interpreted by the duke as offences, “as if she ranked my gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name with anybody’s gift”, implying possessiveness and unruly emotions such as jealousy can cloud judgement. This is interesting as generally a man would be thought of as being more rational, and a woman as being ruled by her emotions.…
