    Edna is gradually discovering how to be more intune with her inner emotions and understand the female condition as a whole. As Madame Reisz plays, Edna feels great emotion overtake her, admitting, “But the very passions themselves were aroused within her soul, swaying it, lashing it, as the waves daily beat upon her splendid body” (Chopin 26). Edna now understands that a woman has emotions that are important and recognizable and that those of a man are not more important. This is also seen when Adele plays “Solitude” and Edna thinks of the bird who left the naked man. Edna thinks about the naked man more than the bird, which is symbolic of a woman. This way of thinking emphasizes the views of men as opposed to those of women. Why is Edna drawn to Mlle.Reisz and she to Edna? Edna is drawn to Mademoiselle Reisz and she to Edna because both women understand each other’s frustrations. Mademoiselle Reisz “perceived her agitation and even her tears,” showing that she clearly understands the powerful emotions that ran through Edna’s head when she played her music (Chopin 26). The fact that Mademoiselle Reisz tells Edna that she is “the only one worth playing for” demonstrates that Mademoiselle Reisz knows that Edna will understand the true message of her music that…

    In The Foundation, arrogance led to the planet Trantor, center of the galactic empire, becoming one giant city considered to be “the mightiest deed of man; the complete and almost contemptuously final conquest of a world” (Asimov 16); however, the expense of this “mightiest deed” was complete dependence on a “delicate jugular vein” (Asimov 12-13) between Trantor and the outer worlds. Consequently, government policy on Trantor became one-dimensional, exclusively focused on protecting that…

Stripped can signify a more modest significance than naked, for the creator utilizes certain words to completely epitomize the inclination and the predominant. Imagery develops the substantial urges when Robert Graves utilizes them all through the degree of the exposition. "The Hippocratic eye will find in bareness, life…

As the youngest, I was the prime target for much mockery and ridicule. My sister developed a nickname for me when I was in middle school: Naked Mole Rat. Honestly,…

Men with their shirts off is not the same as a woman having her shirt off, simply because men don’t have the same kind of physical breasts that women do, and their breasts are not really portrayed nearly as sexual as women’s breasts are. But to have different ratings with a man fully naked and a woman fully naked is definitely unfair and…
