mistress when she learns that he is already engaged in another arranged marriage. She does not want to adopt this degrading position and to be "the second woman". She shows that she prefers, finally, that society continues to consider her as the governess, rather than betraying her…

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” This quote is from famous Dutch painter Vincent Willem van Gogh. Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853 in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands to Theodorus van Gogh and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. He was named for his grandfather Vincent, who was also named for his uncle, a successful sculptor, also named Vincent Van Gogh. Unfortunately, van Gogh like many artists did not become famous for his…

William Shakespeare’s complex use of imagery and symbolism is what drives his work from being a rudimentary play to an artistic expression of emotions. A typical play from Shakespeare often holds love and romance as a central theme, which applies to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. On the surface, A Midsummer Night’s Dream portrays itself as a romantic comedy combined with mystical works and lover’s desires, all of which is played under the moonlight. However, a deeper exploration into the work…

solve everything. Honestly, sometimes I felt degraded by all his harsh and ‘witty’ comments that stemmed from his cast iron heart and filter-less mouth.” Mr. Rochester returned to Thornfield Hall “heart-wearied and soul-withered” only to find a new governess, Jane Eyre, for his ward. Within an exchange of words, Mr. Rochester immediately realized that Jane had the qualities he has sought in vain for twenty years across Europe—an intellectually sound mind and genuine personality. Mr. Rochester…

minimum amount of money. If a lower class wife had to help support her family, she would take a job as almost anything. Either working on the streets, taking any job they could get, sewing, or perhaps if they were educated enough they could be a governess. Women who had no other options worked on the streets at labor intensive jobs, for little pay. Prostitution became a means for some women that had no other…

It is a known fact that both men and women had different tasks in society. In both plays “A Doll’s House” and “Trifles”, it is obvious how women are not treated as equals by the men. The play “A Doll’s House”, which takes place in a small town in Norway, tells the “happy” life of Nora and her husband, Trovald. Then the other play “Trifles”, which takes place in Nebraska, USA, tells how the men, and the women accompanying them react differently to the life the murder suspect lived. Even though…

In her book "Pride and Prejudice", Jane Austen illustrates the female protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet as a strong advocate of feminism and female independence. She manages to do so by drawing a stark contrast between Elizabeth and the other female characters, Charlotte, Jane and Caroline. Each of these women conforms to the socially imposed gender conventions of Regency England, while Elizabeth artfully challenges gender discrimination. Contrary to her female foils, she remains steadfast to…

“Adventure is worthwhile in itself,” said Amelia Earhart. Explorers might be reckless, even feckless, but they are simply on a quest forward and beyond. They seek adventure and understanding. It’s the sense of discovery that drives them. Explorers refuse to be caged in, create insights and new ways of expressing ideas, and seeks to escape the confines of their average life by traveling the world or exploring its many mysteries, as shown by Amelia Earhart, Maria from The Sound of Music, and Ariel…

A. Jane Eyre is described as plain rather than beautiful. Would the plot of the novel still make sense if Jane were beautiful? How would the story be different if Jane were not poor? Why does it matter? Of course the story would still make sense, it doesn’t particularly matter that she wasn’t beautiful. She wasn’t ugly so it doesn’t really matter. If we are talking about personal wealth the novel could have been completely different. She would have been able to completely support herself on her…
