Breaking Free Figurative Language
“How is the concept of Breaking Free represented in A Room with a View, related text and a text studied in class?”

Breaking Free is represented in E.M. Forster’s, Room with a View through Lucy and the contrast in constraints of the English society and the freedom loving, passionate nature of Italy. Breaking Free is also represented in the feature article “Women at War” by Jo Chandler, through how women have broken free from the traditional female roles and taken on front line duties with the Australian Army. Another text that represents Breaking Free is the poem Song of Hope by Kath Walker; this poem symbolizes how the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have Broken Free from the constraints of English settlement through the Mabo Act of 1992.

    Health Issues In Lucy's Hysteria By Bram Stoker

    ‘the new woman was persistently represented as a hysteric, whose degenerate emotionalism was both symptom and cause of social change. As symptom, her hysteria was a degenerate form of her natural affections. It was also thought to be a form of brain-poisoning induced by the pressures of modern life and by women’s attempts to resist their traditional roles and ape those of men’. Hysteria disabled women and prevented them from fulfilling their ‘natural’ roles of wives and mothers’. -102. Lucy is perhaps the most obviously modelled on the notions of hysteria prevalent in Stoker’s age. She appears excitable, restless and uneasy with an undefined anguish. We also hear of her physical and mental…

    Eveline

    In the story “Eveline” by James Joyce, a young teenage girl, Eveline, has the opportunity to leave her “trapped” life and start a new journey with the man of her dreams, Frank. As Eveline sat at the window reconciling all of her memories, her thoughts of her abusive father leave her to ponder the prospect of leaving and freeing herself from her life to reside in Buenos Aires with her lover. As she reviews her decision to stay with her abusive father or embark on a new, free life, Eveline faces the guilt of leaving her father as she promised her mother to dedicate herself to maintain the home and take care of her father. In James Joyce’s “Eveline”, Eveline does not really have the option of feeling free, because she would be locked into a relationship with Frank, and not have the freedom in a “new life with frank” ( ), therefore she chooses to stay home in her not so “wholly undesirable life” (5).…
