    In the 1953 western-musical parody Calamity Jane the butch heroin, Jane Canary (Doris Day) undergoes a makeover, by imitating Katie Brown (Allyn McLerie), to become a feminine female; thus engaging into a heterosexual romance with Bill Hickock (Howard Keel) (cf. Mizejewski 185). Katie Brown an aspiring, burlesque singer and dancer, whom Jane mistakes as the famous hyper feminine Adelaid Adams (Gale Robbins), helps Jane to transition from a masculine cowboy into a real and proper woman, by confronting Jane with her own inadequate gender performance.

    Love remains a frequent topic in literature because of the countless opportunities to explore emotions and to delve into the human psyche to ponder what truly causes someone to love another person. Furthermore, love is multifaceted, and Hawthorne focuses on a different aspect of love within a relationship in each of his two stories. Although “The Birth-Mark” and “The Minister’s Black Veil” both contain elements of Puritan society, delineate the relationship between a man and his partner, and consider how far love can drive a person, each story examines a different kind of love that a man and a woman have for each other. Georgiana unconditionally loves Aylmer in the same way that Mr. Hooper unconditionally loves Elizabeth, but both of their respective partners, Aylmer and Elizabeth, conditionally love them and fixate upon a single, minute detail, the birthmark and the veil, which they perceive…

    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.

    This discussion is interested in the way Lawrence presents the breakdown of these principles when they are not equally balanced by each partner in a sexual relationship. With a primary focus on Peter Moest from “New Eve and Old Adam”, this lack of attainment of unity will be shown to result in a psychological and physical dependence of the males upon the females.

This is in opposition to the man’s stalk-like Will-to-Motion, which grows upwards towards discovery, yet in these texts the polarities are disrupted…
