    Themes of Miracle Polish

    The themes of this short story include jealousy, obsession with narcissism and the emergence of another identity. In this short story, jealousy is displayed when Monica has the narrator choose between the real her and the Monica in the mirror. In the story, “Once, she said, “You know, sometimes I think you like me better there”—she pointed to a mirror—“than here”—she pointed to herself. She said it teasingly, with a little laugh, but in her look was an anxious question.” The Monica in the mirror was described in this excerpt: “a fresh Monica, a vibrant Monica, a Monica with a glow of pleasure in her face. She was dressed in clothes that no longer seemed a little drab, a little elderly, but were handsomely understated, seductively restrained.” The real Monica is depicted in the excerpt “Not for a moment did the mirror make her look young, or beautiful, for she was not young and she was not beautiful. But it was as if some inner constriction had dissolved, some sense of her drifting gradually into unhappiness.” Jealousy is what drove the…

    Summar of "The Radical Idea of Marrying for Love, " by Stephanie Coontz

    Author Stephanie Coontz writes about the ideas of love and marriage through out history in the article “The Radical Idea of Marrying for Love.” Early in the article Coontz quotes an early twentieth century author by the name of George Bernard Shaw, who states, “marriage is an institution that brings together two people under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions. They are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.” ( qtd. in Shaw 378) Coontz explains that the ideas of marriage today are, although heart felt, unrealistic and daunting. She reveals that not so long ago the thoughts on love and marriage were very different for many societies and cultures throughout the world.…

    Mirror By Gwen Harwood Analysis

    In the opening verses of “Mirror,” the narrator commences its narration by declaring itself neutral. It announces it has “no preconceptions” and without bias or emotions it will metaphorically “swallow immediately” what it needs as it is “unmisted by love or dislike”. It is the truth which causes much grief to a woman who visits it each day. Unlike Plath’s poem, Harwood’s omniscient narrator describes a woman who’s “clothes are out of date” to further enhance the…

    Divorce In Colonial America

    The history of divorce in America reflects the changes in issues in morality, society, economics, gender and wealth that take toll on marital issues (Engel, M. 2007). During the colonial times, separation were popular ways to end a marriage as well as abandonment. In colonial America, marriage and family matters were mainly regulated by the manners, customs, ethics, and religious norms of the times. Judeo-Christian religious leaders and civil authorities adopted their society's theological ideas about guilt, innocence, and punishment for those couples seeking divorce.…

    Summary Of A Married State By Katherine Phillips

    In A Married State, Katherine Phillips speaks to the clash between a woman fulfilling her spiritual, emotional needs and fulfilling her physical social responsibilities. Phillips begins with the light diction of “content” and “innocent” to highlight the two different spaces that were expected of women: virginity and happiness in their lowly station in life. The former reflects their physical history, while the latter reflects their spiritual state. These were often at odds due to women being unable to marry for love and oppressed by society. Phillips then goes on to illustrate these physical and worldly oppressions as “blustering husbands to create your fears, pangs of childbirth to extort your fears, children cries for to offend your ears”.…

    Marital Relationships as Portrayed in the Short Stories I'm Going and The Story of an Hour

    Love has always been complicated. Whether you were married in 1700 or 2012, there are many things we'll just never understand. But what if you were married in the late 1800's to the early 1900's? I believe Mrs. Louise Mallard and Jeanne can both agree that it was not easy. The short story “The Story of An Hour” and the drama “I'm Going” will show that being a wife in that era was not all about passion and perfect families, but about control and dominance. Although the stories were written during two different time periods, the modern period and the Victorian period, there were still many similarities in both relationships. Each story centered itself around a woman taking a “backseat” to her husband. The difference between these pieces of literature were the styles used to convey the message. “I'm Going” by Tristan Bernard was written as a comedy, while “The Story of An Hour” by Kate Chopin was written as a tragedy. The plots of the stories were also different. “I'm Going” used a plot that grabbed the readers attention through what was happening, while “The Story of An Hour” developed the plot by what was being revealed.…

    The wife's story

    A very surprising science fiction story that reverses the werewolf idea. A wolf turns into a man and scares the living daylights out of his wolf wife and wolf children. What makes this story amazing is that LeGuin tricks us, throughout much of the story, into believing that the tale is about humans. She teases us with issues of child abuse, male-female relationships, life in a small town, and sisterly devotion, but she upsets our expectations, forces us to ask questions, re-read the story, and come to see that man is just as frightening as beast.I have to admit I had to read this story 2 times before I could really understand the meaning of it but when it finally came to me I was just amazed. This story is great.…
