Before Lana Monologue Analysis
CHARLES
Can’t things remain the same? Can’t we continue as before, Lana?

LANA
Of course not. I don’t wish to be referred to as your mistress…far from it…I want to be your new wife, when the old one no longer fulfils her role. Besides, it’s not me, you should ask for the reasons to Edward’s suicide, but instead Deborah. She knows more than she’s letting on.

CHARLES
How can it be? My wife wasn’t there. When you yourself were there an hour or two before the violent incident. Anyhow, I have more reasons to ask that of you, Lana.

LANA
Goddamn it, I told you everything. There’s nothing more to say…without resorting to blatant lies for which I’m not capable of doing. Go ahead and ask me if you dare!

CHARLES
Wait just one moment, there’s a knock

    Florence Kelley, in her speech delivered to the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1905, implies that women’s suffrage and other problems at the time, such as child labor, go hand in hand. Kelley’s purpose is to emphasize that if women’s suffrage is gained, it could be the bridge to solving many other problems in America. She adopts a blunt and sarcastic tone in order to appeal to the emotions and guilt of the women of the 1900’s.…

I stood in front of him in shock because he had barely spoken to me during the times I stayed with him. I needed someone to translate my grandfather’s Creole for me so I woke up my uncle and hold on tight Jennifer, don’t give up he said. As a seven year old child, I wasn’t holding anything, and what was my grandfather talking about?…

    In this section of Let Me Hear Your Voice it becomes pretty evident that Anne-Marie is cured. Her development is nothing short of miraculous. The effectiveness of Anne-Marie’s behavioral intervention is occurring at a time when such an intervention was still considered by some as “morally reprehensible” (pg. 149) with the general consensus being that “Autistic children do not recover”. Yet here, after an eight-month period, Anne-Marie is able to empirically demonstrate with the Vineland test that she is functioning within normal developmental ranges for her age group with a 90% confidence interval.…

    In episode twelve, Kimmy finally sets out to make sure her captor goes to prison for his crimes. She goes to trial and confronts the man who kept her locked in a bunker for fifteen years, Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne. The episodes about the trial seem to be attempting to criticize the way our justice system believes (or rather does not believe) women. When we watch the Reverend manipulate everyone in the courtroom, including the prosecutors, it seems insane how easily he did it — surely that could never work in real life — yet, that is the reality that we face. The final episodes, which feature Tina Fey as an incompetent prosecutor, are essentially satirizing the justice system’s imbalance and ineptitude at securing rape convictions.…
