Robin Goodfellow's Mate

Improved Essays
Robin Goodfellow, a mischievous young fairy, is empty. He needs a mate. It seems that no one can handle his little pranks. His partner would have to be someone with a good nature, common sense, tolerance and someone who can keep him in line. Without these qualities, the relationship would crunch like a leave in Autumn.
Unlike Goodfellow, the damsel has a great common sense. This will keep him out of any trouble. She also has a good nature. This might rub off on him, shaping him into a better person. If he doesn’t start behaving better, she might say “Freak’n stop that!” But she won’t hurt him. She can control her temper.
Goodfellow does get into a mound of trouble. (This is probably why he hasn’t found a mate yet). Most of the young ladies

    Subsequently, the inequalities between the genders are evident in the master plan Petruchio uses to change Katherine from a “bad girl” to a “good girl” because it depicts the extent to which patriarchal men would go to ensure their dominance over women. According to feminist theory, women who follow patriarchal standards are called “good girls” and they “are put on pedestals and idealized as pure, angelic creatures whose sense of self consists mainly or entirely of their usefulness to their husbands” (Tyson 87). Since Katherine does not follow this definition, Petruchio takes it upon himself to change her. In other words, as Critic Marianne L. Novy states, “The way [Petruchio] talks about society proves him independent of its actual judgments and ready to reverse its expectations…

    Ernest Hemmingway once said “When writing a novel, a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.” This quote to me exemplifies the importance for an author to create lifelike characters that are not static and are instead dynamic, moving, changing. In Rick Bass’s short story Antlers all three of the main characters can be seen as almost living people who share a genuine connection between their environment and between each other. Bass shows the connection that the three main characters have through their characterization.…

    The treatment of gender issues between both men and women portrayed in Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare has impacted both the audience of the Elizabethan era and modern day society. Independent, boisterous, and impulsive women were often looked down on, for they did not obey the male figures in their lives. The patriarchal society and the imbalance of power between both genders in Much Ado About Nothing is shown through the characterization in Beatrice’s courage, Hero’s dependency, and the men in the play who believed that they were superior. This was because women were supposed to be silent and gentle and submissive to their husband and listen to everyone. Hero perfectly described the “ideal woman”- a woman who rarely stood up for herself…

    The Tale reveals that the perfectly good woman is powerful, or at least potentially so, insofar as her suffering and submission are fundamentally insubordinate and deeply threatening to men and to the concepts of power and gender identify upon which patriarchal culture is premised (Hansen, 190.) However, the happy ending brings the heroine the dubious reward of permanent union with a man whom the Clerk, embellishing his sources, has characterized as a sadistic tyrant, worst of men and cruelest of husbands (Hansen, 190.) As a final message and a warning for both men and women alike, the Clerk's tale ends with the following…
