to a “woman”. “Cruel not pleasant, hard not soft, emphatic not weak, one who kills not one who nurtures,” is Bennett’s description of the speaker. Suppression of the female voice is drastic and the only remnants of it lay in the ambivalence toward power. This ambivalence is critical to the main idea of the poem. Rich states that if there is any female conscious then it is “buried deeper than the images’ and must be actively searched for. Dickinson as a loaded gun can only be describe as…

Since language no longer, "hooks up" to the corporeal, we have an increased case of a subject-without-subjectivity. As referenced above this rigidification occurs because of this core ambivalence and the subject's weakened capacity to deal with this ambiguity of their own being. Since rationality has undermined the very process of the impartial and masterful I as predominantly metaphysical, the subject rigidifies themselves on the basis…

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is perhaps the classical example of English literature of the use of the double conventions to represent the duality ( or maybe use ‘ambivalence’ here instead duality. Only a suggestion. I personally feel more comfortable with ambivalence) of human nature. That Dr. Jekyll represents the conventional and socially acceptable personality and Mr. Hyde the uninhibited and criminal self is the most obvious aspect of Stevenson’s story. The…

The most important feature of postcolonialism is a shift in the dominant ways in which relations between Western and non-Western people and their worlds were…

I also acknowledge feelings of loss might be triggered by the impending end of a trusting, collaborative relationship at this phase. When such feelings emerge, I utilize emotion-regulation focused and motivational techniques to address the ambivalence about the termination. I believe that my training background in evidence-based psychotherapies and the multimodal framework I adopt in treatment delivery will allow me to successfully transition to the intern-therapist role in a medical setting…

[emotional] stability is absent. His attempts to control emotionality with his wife and children are punctuated by angry outbursts and, in the case of children, spanking. And although he says he has several good friends, one senses considerably ambivalence embedded in those relationships also (p. 230).
