Her With A Pearl Earring Griet's Power
Griet's Power

"As a woman and a maid, Griet holds little power, while Vermeer exercises his authority over her."

In the novel ‘Girl with A Pearl Earring' we find that Griet has more power as a woman and a maid then we may have first thought. As we move deeper into the novel we find that Griet has some power over Vermeer's paintings, along with the Vermeer family and as we reach the end of the novel we learn of her power to destroy the Vermeer family.

Griet becomes a well respected critique of Vermeer's paintings, Vermeer recognises her talent from the moment of the organised vegetables and also when he said "I never thought I could learn from a maid". Griet had a valid opinion towards Vermeer's paintings and her suggestions were taking

    Comparing A Jury Of Her Peers And Helen Reddy's Song I Am Woman

    Glaspell’s story is from the perspective of Martha Hale, who has been called to the home of Minnie Foster Wright, a neighbor, that has been accused of killing her husband. While you may focus on the storyline of the woman killing her husband as I did at first, once you reread the story you can grasp the message of women banning together to protect once another. Mrs. Hale responds to the county attorney of his comment on the state of Minnie’s home that, “There’s a great deal of work to be done on a farm…….Men’s hands aren’t always as clean as they might be.” (690). While the attorney is being scornful of the state of home, Mrs. Hale has a quick retort in the defense of her neighbor. Just as in Reddy’s song stating “I am woman, hear me roar/In numbers too big to ignore” (lines 1-2). In other words, women stick together and by doing so we have a strong voice. Both Glaspell and Reddy show how woman are always quick to defend our sex. It could be that we have a better understanding of each other and in that will extend our understanding to the most unlikely of…

    Art Analysis: The Concert Painting

    The Procuress is hung on the wall that would form part of The Concert painting that Vermeer is painting of his patron van Ruijven and his daughter and sister. I think that the author had Griet focusing on this painting to remind her who she was. In other words, it encouraged her to remain decent, and humble. On page 186 van Leeuwenhoek said to Griet, “Take care to remain yourself.” When Griet srated to work for the family she was exposed to a different environment. While working there she was also reminded a maid who was in a painting a long with van Ruijven, who then was discovered having an affair with her master and ended up having a child of his. He reputation was destroyed, and Griet feared that the same would happen to her as well. I think that Vermeer has come to see Griet the way that the girl in the the painting is portrayed.…

    Ap Euro Summer Project

    Set from 1664- 1676 this slanting novel illustrates the life of Griet, a common maid living in Delft, as she works for the family of the city’s most renowned painter. At only the age of sixteen when she starts to work for the Vermeer family, Griet is expected to know her place and pick up her duties like second nature. The household dominated by mother and daughter alike Catharina Vermeer and Maria Thins; Griet must be quick on her feet with the help of the present maid, Tanneke. She was brought to the Vermeer household for an exceedingly specific reason, to clean her master’s studio. It doesn’t take very long after Griet’s arrival at the Vermeer home for her to turn the heads of the master painter, some of his prosperous clientele, and even the local butcher. One of Vermeer’s clients takes a specific interest in Griet; an internally disfigured man by the name of Van Ruijven takes a liking to the “wide eyed maid” and can’t help himself but to take a closer look. Over the course of Griet cleaning Master Vermeer’s studio she has found a hidden passion for the world of art with its exotic colors and dazzling lights, shifting shadows and indescribable beauty. Ultimately Griet becomes a central part of Vermeer’s work, allowing them to become closer, creating tension and ripples in the structure of the Vermeer household. Just as Griet begins to find comfort as her routine of cleaning, cooking, and looking after the children, she is requested as a model in a classic Vermeer painting for none other than the furtive Van Ruijven. Much to his dismay, Master Vermeer had no option but to take the work for his hastily growing family. She is posed looking over her left shoulder,…

    Compare the Ways Poets Present Relationships in ‘Les Grands Seigneurs’ and in 'My Last Duchess'

    One feature that is common to both poems is the presence of male dominance. ‘Les Grands Seigneurs’ presents the idea of male dominance in the final stanza of the poem, where the speaker remarks on how her role as a wife now that she is married: “I became (yes overnight) a toy, a plaything, little woman, Wife, a bit of fluff”, in this quotation a list of metaphors have been used to display the speaker’s transformation from a ‘queen’, who was worshiped by men to ‘a bit of fluff’, who is forced to obey by her husband’s orders. The images in the list appear to be diminishing in value; the speaker starts by comparing her status with a toy, however by the end of the list it has become ‘a bit of fluff’, which suggests that this imagery reflects how marriage has diminished her value and attraction. Moreover, the imagery of the wife being a ‘plaything’ relates to the concept of male domination, as it suggests that in her husband’s eyes she is nothing more than a possession, a ‘plaything’, belonging to her husband. Furthermore, the quotation “My husband clicked his fingers, called my bluff” adds to the theme of male domination as it displays how she has no control over the situation. The image of the husband clicking his fingers to signal his wife causes the speaker’s role as a wife seem almost synonymous to a slave; she is powerless to his command.…

    Marriage In The Wife Of Bath's Tale

    Throughout the story, she undergoes a series of trials put forth by her husband, known as the marquis Walter, in order to test her dedication in the marriage. The marquis goes as far as to take her first born child from her, to which Griselda responses with the persistent devotion she always bequeathed to him. As Griselda consistently demonstrates these behaviors, Walter becomes more inclined to assess her wifehood, later speaking of marrying a younger wife. Griselda agrees favorably to this proposal by her husband. However, she proceeds to kindly advise Walter on the treatment of this new bride: “One thing I beg of you, and warn you too, / Never to goad her, never put on trial / This tender girl as I have known you do; / For she was fostered preciously, a vial” (Chaucer 350). Griselda acknowledges her own strength in maintaining a supportive persona to her husband’s horrid deeds, and seeks to protect the new wife by merely asking Walter to be cautious of the delicate temperament most women were expected to possess. The marquis finds Griselda to be wholeheartedly pure in her intentions, announcing her to be the epitome of wifehood. The Clerk’s insight on the institution of marriage is described through Griselda’s persistence: “For since a woman showed such patience to / A mortal man, how much the more we ought / To take in…

    Essay On Caravaggio

    Unlike Caravaggio, Vermeer tended to paint his works around his Dutch heritage. Many times this entailed paintings of women. Compared to Caravaggio, Vermeer’s painting took on a more laid back appeal. Some of these paintings include “Woman with a Pearl Necklace” and “Woman Holding a Balance.” Everyday life seemed to be what inspired many of Vermeer’s works. In Caravaggio’s paintings there is a lot of sadness and dark scenes dealing with religion. Vermeer’s paintings stayed more to the life he…

    What Is The Passage In The War Of The Worlds

    Though it is not a major theme throughout the novel, in the narrator’s brother’s experience with his two female traveling companions and in the artilleryman’s idea for society’s future, it is obvious that women of the time did not have much power or respect. In the narrator’s brother’s experience with Mrs. Elphinstone and her sister-in-law, it was obvious he found Mrs. Elphinstone to be aggravating. While he admired the sister-in-law’s quietness and deliberateness. The sister-in-law was clearly the sanest of the two for she took charge of the reins of the carriage and obeyed the brother. Despite being the favorite of the two women, she was never given a name.…

    Women's Perspective

    The very concept of ‘woman’, de Beauvoir argues, “is a male concept: woman is always ‘other’ because the male is the ‘seer’: he is the subject and she the object – the meaning of what it is to be a woman is given by men.” A woman can be known as high the CEO of a company or in other words “the other”, and be the only woman in the midst of a majority of men. Yet, does she receive the respect, an attentiveness from “the seer” or a man that she should for obtaining a high position of authority? No, because a man will always think of her as a minority, a woman, and a man only subjected to her assets or her physical appearance. As a woman with only men in the majority ,…

    Is Fitzgerald’s Portrayal of 1920’s Women Entirely Negative?

    Although the women reflect “foolishness” on the outside, The Great Gatsby provides several examples in which women empower themselves despite their inferior status. Although Fitzgerald may have viewed women as a weaker sex, several females in the novel demonstrate an underlying power through their relationships, and display some admirable qualities. Although they are not able to achieve the same amounts of success as men in the society; by attaching themselves to a suitable mate allows them to share in the success of the men. In the patriarchal, greed-driven society of 1920’s portrayed in “The Great Gatsby”, the female characters are controlled and possessed by the men; yet, as illustrated through Daisy and Myrtle, by accepting this inferior position, the women are able to manipulate the emotions of men and use their sexuality in order to obtain financial security and social acceptance. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said in his lifetime, “‘Women are so weak, really – emotionally unstable – and their nerves, when strained, break . . . this is a man’s world. All wise women conform to the man’s lead’”(Francis Kerr). He demonstrates this idea through the surface level weakness of his female characters in The Great Gatsby. For example, when Daisy describes the birth of her daughter, she expounds the female inferior position: “‘All right,’ I said, ‘I’m glad it’s a girl. And I hope she’ll be a fool – that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool’”(Fitzgerald).…

    A Tale of Two Cities

    “In revenge and in love woman is more barbaric than man is” (Friedrich Nietzsche). Revenge is the action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for a wrong suffered at their hands. In the novel “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens, the French Revolution is the result of the peasants’ desire for revenge. This desire of theirs is initiated by Madame Defarge due to her longing for revenge against the aristocrats, specifically the Evremondes. Essentially, in this novel, the characterization of Madame Defarge develops the theme that often an individuals’ desire for revenge prevails over their humanity and leads to the fate of others.…
