    “The Bridegroom” by Ha Jin, and “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez explore different man versus society conflicts. There are many differences and few similarities as to how each society deals with unconventional members. Some characters are criminalized, ostracized, and viewed as outcasts, unable to conform to “normal” societal activities as demonstrated in “The Bridegroom”. The more progressive society exists in “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World”, where the villagers change their way of life to accommodate a revered dead body, and in turn, they appear to collectively become more fulfilled and ambitious. Should society change to accommodate unconventional people, or should people conform to societal…

    Muriel’s Wedding (1995), written by P.J. Hogan, explores the central notion of relationships. Relationships can be defined as the connection between people and others, and it is these relationships that allow an individual to find and/or reaffirm their identities. More specifically, Hogan conveys that individuals will always seek out others who they can form positive relationships with, which in turn can reaffirm their sense of identity. He also portrays that the outcome of a relationship is not always what individuals expect when they initiate them, and social labels such as marriage may fail our expectations and do not always indicate the true nature of a relationships.…
