This Charming Man

often seems difficult for a woman to be as successful in her career compared to her male peers. For most of history it has been expected of women to remain in the home, only concerned with domestic issues. It is typically harder for a woman than a man to be hired into higher level positions in the workplace although women are just as capable. Through Madam Secretary: A Memoir, Madeleine Albright proves the importance of women having the confidence to speak up for themselves and pursue careers in…

In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the character Lady Macbeth does not conform to the gender expectations of her time. Her nonconformity is shown through the actions she takes—rebelling against the common notion of feminity by inciting violence—to ensure her husband's, Macbeth's, place as king. The character Lady Macduff serves as a foil to Lady Macbeth and displays how women are expected to behave. Because it seems that Lady Macduff is put forth as an example of the ideal woman, it is expected that she…

the guards about the behavior of Antigone and Ismene, insisting they are tied up: “From now on they’ll act like women. Tie them up, no more running loose; even the bravest will cut and run, once they see Death coming for their lives” (652-655). In this passage, Creon’s disdain towards the sisters can be seen. When he expresses that the women will run away when they see Death coming towards them, it shows his low opinion of the strength and power of women. Creon believes Ismene and Antigone are…

When the boy’s hand gets caught in the saw the poem states that the boy saw everything. This is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration of what the boy saw in his last moments. The boy’s hand is also personified as being gone, but the hand didn’t really go anywhere. When the hand was cut off so was the boy’s life source. The life of the boy is personified as spilling into death. This shows the quickness in which death can strike. The buzz saw snarled and rattled while everything else…

care about humanity. In the case of the good guys, the father says, "This is what good guys do. They keep trying [and] they don't give up" (137). Why? Because while many of the remaining people have turned into cannibalism because of the post-apocalyptic environment, the father ensures that he and his son stay on the path of goodness. However, the difference between good and evil is sometimes confusing, particularly for the son. This confusion first comes into play after his father shoots one of…

From childhood to adulthood, my life has been full of interactions; from the people that I’ve met, to the places that I’ve been. These interactions are full of contexts that have impacted the person I am and shaped the way I see the world. The most influential context is my gender. There are certain things – like my mindset and personality – that I hadn’t noticed had been affected so drastically. Having its positives and negatives, being a female has made me cautious of men, self-conscious, and…

How can two boys with such similar lives, be so different in so many ways? How can two people who have grown up the same exact way, see the world in an opposite mindset? Well as for Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston, that is the issue. In S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, Johnny and Dally both have awful parents, which causes them to place little value on their lives. Contrariwise, Johnny and Dally see the world differently, leaving the impression of people seeing them in different perspectives.…

the idea of gender equality have embraced the involvement of men in this discipline and what actions could be taken to ensure men’s full participation. The authors begin by explaining that this field of gender impartiality has been of key interest to many international organizations since the issue is a key problem facing gender relations all over the world. To manage the problem, women have often been exclusively involved. With this exclusion of men, the efforts for enhancing gender equality…

“... If women had no existence save in the fiction written by men, one would imagine her a person of the utmost importance; very various; heroic and mear; splendid and sordid; infinitely beautiful and hideous in the extreme; as great as a man, some think even greater”( Shakespeare’s Sister, Woolf). Unfortunately, the greatness and extreme heroic acts in stories of women before the 1800’s, exist only within black inked pages. Women should be portrayed realistically. Shakespeare’s Sister written…
