Wonder Woman Mythology

Decent Essays
Hello D
Wonder Woman was my favored as well. I recalled it was awesome that she could talk to animals and fly, but chose to use her invisible plane. Yes, Jungian believed stories became woven from the myths of gods, goddesses, semi-mortals, heroes, and evil spirit. Myths are the dreams of cultures. Like dreams, they are subject to interpretation and can have personal meaning or convey archetypes truths about human nature. I agree, Wonder Woman was one of the archetypes, standing for the empowerment of adult females and young women. I watched the trailer; we should see it together. Thanks for share great superhero.

    It is not because of a masculine trait that makes a person powerful, but rather, it’s because of what they do that makes them powerful. In Nell Brinkley’s ‘‘“Golden Eyes” and her Hero, “Bill”, Over There ' and Charles Moulton’s Wonder Woman comics, both series consistently remind the reader that the protagonists, Golden Eyes and Wonder Woman, are still women underneath everything that they do. They are still beautiful women with feminine characteristics and they are never once mistaken or considered as a man. It is never implied that they are strong because they take on the image of a man, but rather, they are strong because they have chosen to stand up and fight for what is right. These women maintain their identities and, as a result, both…

    Women had started fighting for gender equalities way before the term “feminism” was listed in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1852. They spoke up and proved their abilities to the world by marching and rebelling. The first-wave of feminism started from the 18th century, and it was mainly focused on the voting and property rights for females. The Second-Wave feminism began in the 1960s, and the focus shifted from suffrage to issues such as workplace, reproductive rights, and domestic violence.…

    A wonder woman is a woman who continuously does her job, is successful and shows the world that no matter what the situation may be, she gets the job done. When working hard and trying to achieve a goal, there will always be bumps in the road that will try to stop you from getting where you need to be. In my opinion, Presidential candidate, now President elect, Donald Trump was trying to push Hillary Clinton back during the campaign, but a wonder woman can’t be stopped by an egocentric man. During the presidential election, Donald Trump said many things about Clinton that opened my eyes.…

    However, it often snatched the use of power for good away from them and left most females with abilities that made them monsters. It also encouraged unfair double standards and taught generations that certain male behavior was unacceptable for females. The Odyssey likes to think that its favor of Athena promotes gender equality, but in reality, the story is simply another pseudo-feminist one that will not help modern society to progress. Because of this, it is about time to change the epic that society uses as a base for books, movies, and television shows. Maybe the new epic will have male and female main characters.…
