    In Witches, Wife Beaters, and Whores: Common Law and Common Folk in Early America, Elaine Forman Crane encourages readers to think of the book as similar to a fictionalized short story collection. However, the collection is truly a compilation of six nonfiction microhistories with each telling an individual account of “the ways in which legal culture and daily life were knotted together in early America.” (4) Common law and formal law often contrasted during the early stages of settlement because what was morally acceptable was not always reflected in the formals laws of an area. Crane contends that “ordinary people ‘made’ laws by establishing and enforcing informal rules of conduct” and “law was a matter of deep concern to the original settlers.” (5-8) Through the use of legal documents, case reports, and other primary documents, Crane attempts to strengthen her arguments that the legal culture and daily life were deeply intertwined concerns of the settlers and that through the legal process created new laws from old customs.…

Bonnie is the cute, petite, blonde haired, optimistic friend who believes in real life fairytales and love at first sight, while Liza on the other hand is a taller, voluptuous, red head, that is more of a cynical realist when it comes to love, relationships, and pretty much everything else.

She bases her study on collective symbols assumed to be present in these stories to shed light on the various facets of the anima.

    Fallada uses Mia Pinneberg to unveil the challenges associated with the expectations of the “New Woman” in the 1920’s-1930’s. Mia embodies the modernized women conceptualized in Germany post-World War I. Her aspirations to climb the bourgeois social ladder stem from a society obsessed with aesthetic beauty, and related pressures from being a woman in a high-class society. She mimics the display of the “New Woman” and therefore is driven to bear the weight of all interrelationship problems related to this identity, including the alienation from others.…

    In the novel The Edible Woman, author Margaret Atwood tackles the difficult subject of anorexia nervosa. Although this subject is often handled with kid gloves by many writers, Atwood’s novel candidly addresses how different food related stigmas affect the main character’s day to day existence. In the late 1960's, young women faced a society that expected them to conform to certain qualities in both appearance and demeanor. The portrayal of young women in popular movies, television and music of the time period led to internal conflicts among women who struggled to achieve the norm put forth by society. Young women everywhere were convinced they needed to look and act like Marcia Brady and turn into Carol Brady even if meant sacrificing their…

    Louise Mallard has been married to Brently Mallard for quite some time. She has become sick of the standard routine lifestyle that she has been sucked into, the stay at home wife with no excitement. She has no job, very little friends and lives with just her husband. Mrs. Mallard was given news one day about her husband and a railroad accident. The opening sentence which states, “Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death”, sums up what the short story is about. Louise has had a heart condition for a while and the news of her husband’s death was told to her in the softest way possible so she would not have her heart cause any further complications. Louise’s sister, Josephine told her of the disastrous news and Louise immediately fell weeping in tears in her sister’s arms. She realized after thinking about the whole situation that her love for her husband was not as strong as she thought it was.

    A jury to her peers

    • 1154 Words
    • 5 Pages

    A jury of her peers? Or men subjugating woman into nothing more than cooks and cleaners? This book made woman seem as though they’re just house wives, and men are superior to the woman race. The social diversities and gender roles play a huge role in the “A jury of her peers” for obvious reasons. The gender roles in this short story are the exact opposite of the 20th century today. The diversities of men and woman are always deeply portrayed in movies, media and most importantly literature. Men are the bread winners, woman are supposed to cook and clean and listen to everything their husbands say. The main character is Minnie, she is under investigation for murdering her husband, she is not in the story at all, no dialogue is formed for her. Though she is the main character, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters are valuable characters in the short story. My focus in this paper however, will be the dialogue of the men and woman, and how they (the women) are treated, and used. This story “A jury of her peers “exemplifies the differences between the two (men and women) as they conduct the investigation of Mr. Wright.…
