numerous themes, including death, love, mortality and dementia. These themes will be evident for the duration of my major work and will be incorporated especially into the mother-daughter relationship as well as the changes time rouses on the pairs’ individual identity. Mortality and Dementia will be primarily centred around the mother whereas Death and Love will be incorporated with the daughter. This is an excerpt that focuses on the theme, Death. It is the 1st draft of my reverse chronologic…

I thought that her description of her son’s approach to asking her about sex was quite humorous. At the same time, I felt that it was odd that her 5 year old approached her asking questions like that, it seems like too young of an age. It was upsetting to read about Mayas’ friend’s reaction concerning her mother’s new “lover”, as someone is never too old to find and embrace love. I noted feeling odd about Mayas’ mother’s openness to discussing her lack of a love life with her daughter…

and the domination of nature” (Warren x). If we solve one issue, we can solve the other; this goal has become the ecofeminists’ ultimate pursuit. Through handling topics such as gender, power, sexuality, and nature, ecofeminist fiction develops narratives that expose our wrong turns and poor decisions concerning the development of our societies and our treatment of both land and people.…

In addition, Unamuno includes a form of direct address to the reader in the above quote, including him or her in the work itself, with the apostrophe “you ask.” Again, just as in Mist, Unamuno makes reference to nivolas and “novelistic narratives” as an individual genre. In both works, reality and fantasy are pitted against each other. A key comparison between the two is that the narrators, Unamuno and Angela, question their own beliefs, dreams, and realities. As discussed, Unamuno does…

student unrest, border crossing, trouble in the tea gardens is the main thrust of the novel that makes possible a probing of feminine experience in terms of identity, ethnicity, gender, language and dispossession. The focal point in Phukan’s narrative is the small town, middle class, upper caste educated woman Rukimini who examines gender constructs that marginalize woman from her vantage point of being a bureaucrat’s wife. Her own social identity as the part time lecturer is diminutive to…

Why Women in The Histories Are Nightmare Fuel for Greek Men Herodotus is considered by many as the first historian and his writing in The Histories set a precedence for historical analysis in the ancient Greek world. His choice to begin his narrative by attributing the very beginning of conflict between the East and West to women is a significant move that establishes a reoccurring theme for the rest of the piece (Herodotus 1.1). Although the consequences set forth by the start of this story are…

A common reading of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” is that it is a cautionary story about the dangers of going too far with science and meddling with what one does not understand. The novel does deal with themes of negligence and lack of care, but not necessarily in the arena of science itself.
