anti-authoritarianism as a quintessential Australian value. Bush poetry also helps build national character, keeping Australia’s history alive years on. Through the analysis of Waltzing Matilda against Khe Sanh, the qualities of bush poetry can still be found in forms of contemporary storytelling. Waltzing Matilda is a famous Australian bush ballad written by A.B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson in 1895. The ballad is about a swagman,…

Matilda is now capable, not only of taking charge of precarious situations, she is also quite in control of Ambrosio. In terms of masculinity and intelligence, Matilda has fully usurped Ambrosio’s role as a man. The change is so severe, that Ambrosio begins to find himself less attracted to her. In the eyes of Ambrosio, Matilda has almost literally become a man, “ill calculated” for his pleasure. Matilda’s gender…

think this can still be found frequently today with some parents who don’t realize that their kids don’t want to be what they think they want to be. I personally think the character Danny in The Chosen is similar to Matilda in the movie/book Matilda. In the story the main character Matilda is very intelligent which contradicts with the rest of her family, who don’t really care about…

Delores also exhibits a great deal of loyalty. She insists that Matilda respects their family heritage and also shows great devotion to her ancestors and their traditional values. These factors, in the long run, make a big part of who Matilda becomes in future. Matilda has a great devotion to her values and traditions and is also very loving. It is this adherence to traditions passed on to her by her mother that makes Matilda furious when eventually she unites with her father and realizes he had…

Everyone on the wagon passes the inspection except for Grandfather who happens to have a coughing fit. Matilda and her grandfather were…

into whatever they were looking at. Charlotte Ray, better known as Lotte, the second youngest Ray turned the page of the book she was reading. “Lot, I’m just trying to remember! Honest! See, mom made us take those French classes right?” , hissed Matilda, who currently was standing on the kitchen counter going through the top cabinets. A few things clattered to the ground. There were all sorts of spices and bottles hastily scattered on the counters and she continued…

wife, Matilda, appreciated her husband’s kindness. (Page 117) In Can Themba’s short story, there are diverging forms and developments of power relations. This is evident in Philemon’s reaction to his wife’s betrayal as well as the reason for his actions, which could be acknowledged as double consciousness. The seemingly happily married couple reside in a shack in Sophiatown, Johannesburg. On his way home, Philemon is told that his wife, Matilda, is having an affair. He returns home to Matilda in…

Ambrosios’s lust is temporarily satisfied in chapter six, however, shortly after he gets what he wants he curses Matilda for his own wrongdoing, “’Dangerous women!’ said he; ‘Into what an abyss of misery have you plunged me!’”(193). in this instance he fears his morality and reputation is at risk, but he tries to excuse himself by putting the blame on Matilda. The epigram in the chapter is Sophonisba, written by Nathenial Lee. Sophonsiba is about a women of the same name who kills herself in…

she aids in the escape of Raymond. Matilda is sinful to the highest extreme and devious as well. She planted a painting of herself representing Madonna in Ambrosio’s chamber, and his obsession with her was initiated with that depiction. Matilda is the ultimate foil for Antonia, who is innocent, moral, and most importantly, chaste. The representation of women in the gothic novel are damsels in distress, women who are pure and in constant danger of men. Matilda defies the pattern of convention…
