    Boundaries in Marriage. - Theory Critique

    Sam and Diane have been married for a few years now and, everything was so perfect in the beginning. There was nothing but plenty of love and romance. Even still, Sam had become more and more demanding of his wife until at a certain point he began demanding robotic perfection of his spouse. It took a few years, but Diane became more and more fed up. She became more and more hypersensitive and hyper-vigilant to anything that Sam said to her so that now, even the slightest criticism would enrage her against Sam which would cause her to remain angered for 24 hours at a time. However, she could not help herself. Her nerves were at their end and did not know any other way to react. Boundaries in Sam and Diane’s marriage were broken. Sam had broken the boundaries of freedom, responsibility, and love (Cloud & Townsend, 1999). Sam had not allowed Diane the freedom of being a human being, treated Diane irresponsibly, and helped in squashing their love. However, Diane, by her actions, had violated the boundary of “self-control” (p.28). If only she had said something like, “If you cannot treat me kindly and as a human being, I will leave the room.” And so, an example of how one spouse can purposely break boundaries and the other inadvertently breaks them. Thus, love is the first ingredient of a marriage, but understanding boundaries in marriage can help keep a marriage intact.…

    Tiger Mending Short Story

    They are both excited that they can go out of the country together while her sister works. The story is written is first-person point of view. I don’t think there is any symbolism in this story particularly. The imagery in this story has to be the women bringing out the tigers and having the sister sew together their strips, which doesn’t make any sense because how would a tiger lose its strips and get them sewn back? The very skilled sister once was enrolled in med school to be a surgeon, but soon stop attending because she decided that is not what she wants to do. She doesn’t want to do it anymore, because her parents both died because of a surgeon, so by this happening it motivated her to stop going to med school and pick up something else she was skilled in. The title is very significant in this story, because mending the Tiger’s strips back together is what the sister is asked to do for the women.…

    How Does Shakespeare Create Suspense In The Lady Or The Tiger

    How often in her grievous reveries had she gnashed her teeth, torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight as he opened the door of the lady!” The author shows that the princess is torn by the decision, and has many conflicting opinions on the matter. On the one hand, she would hate to see her lover die, but on the other, it may be worse for him to be seen happy with another. This creates tension because it leaves the reader with little to no clues about which door she will choose. Furthermore, the author does not answer the question of which door the princess will open at all, instead ending with, “The question is one not to be lightly considered, and it is not for me to set myself up as the one person able to answer it.” This creates suspense because the reader has no certain answer as to which door the princess chose. The short story “The Lady or the Tiger?” creates tension and suspense by leaving the audience wondering about which door the princess…
