For centuries, males have had the advantage of dominance and masculinity passed down to them from generation to generation. Women have been greatly affected by this male inheritance. Male dominance can alter a woman 's perspective on not only the world, but herself. The way a man presents his dominance can be shown in several ways: language, manipulation, physical and mental abuse. Hemingway 's Hills Like White Elephants and Moore 's How To Be An Other Woman, have a strong theme of male…

indecisively, at one point giving in to say that she’d have the abortion just to shut him up. When the man continues to persist, she finally pleads with him to stop talking, realizing the uselessness of their conversation. In fact, the girl’s nickname, “Jig,” subtly indicates that the two characters merely dance around each other and the issue at hand without ever saying anything meaningful. The girl’s inability to speak Spanish with the bartender, moreover, not only illustrates her dependence…

five years, and having two wonderful boys. I made the decision to leave because after all those years neither of us was happy, and of course neither of us wanted to admit it. This decision was life changing for not only me, but for my family. Like Jig in the story “The Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway I was caught between the man I thought I love and his feelings, and my own. Even though I chose to marry this man was I staying for the right reasons? The reasons being staying with…

there was three possible places the musicians would sit, “offstage in a music room above the stage, sometimes on stage or under it” (Encyclopedia). Most music would not have any kind or form of words and at the end of most Musicals they would do a Jig to end the show. The famous Shakespeare had also written a few musical pieces himself but…

Hamlet is the most complex character ever created in English Literature. Hamlet is a man with varying contradictions: he is reckless but cautious, courteous but rude, fragile but ferocious. He faces his father 's death with an overpowering anger, but shows no remorse when he is responsible for the deaths of Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and Polonius. Hamlet uses Ophelia as a release for his disgust and anger towards his mother, and does not realize that he was the cause of her insanity. Regardless…

I have been a reader for as long as I can remember. I remember hiding under my covers with a flashlight just to finish a good book. Literature enthralls me, and by the power that the words have on one’s imagination and emotions. Literature captivates the potential to evoke one’s imagination and inspire creativity in anyone who starts to breathe in the precious words. Maya Angelou has the perfect quote to summarize how I feel about the power of literature and reading, “When I look back, I am…

Throughout our readings in class I have noticed an overarching theme that has tied them together. The broadest of which is that they deal with big, hot topic issues that we are still facing today, such as racism, women’s rights, abortion, love triangles, addiction, and maturing in general. More specifically, I will be focusing in on how the authors have used women to portray their thoughts in their stories. In each of these stories, if not the main character one of the main characters is a woman…
