    During the sixteenth century, the role of men and women within society were distinctly determined and demonstrated in France. When it came to marriage, men had to remain faithful to his wife, while women also had to remain faithful to her husband. It was the man’s job to take care of his family and wife by being the provider. It was the woman’s job to keep honor to the family by being loyal wives and attentive mothers. Both the husband and wife were responsible to uphold these roles because divorce was not an option through the eyes of the church. In the sixteenth century, marriages were usually arranged at a very young age for both men and women in order to gain prosperity and property. In the novel The Return of Martin Guerre, Natalie Zemon Davis uses characters such as Bertrande and Martin/Arnaud to represent gender and marriage roles that were common during the sixteenth century in rural…

    During the reconstruction period after the American Civil War and the years leading to the Civil Rights movement, African-Americans were classified as an inferior racial group rather than as equals and individuals. African-Americans were considered “invisible” and looked down upon by whites in the North as well as in the South. In Ellison’s novel, The Invisible Man, the narrator’s name is never revealed. This further contributes to how the African-Americans were viewed as invisible and the narrator admits, “Or again, you often doubt if you really exist. You wonder whether you aren’t simply a phantom in other people’s minds” (Ellison 208). In the prologue, the narrator listens to Louis Armstrong’s song, “Black and Blue”, while in his basement…

    The Misfit in the story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" is an interesting character. The Misfit was looked by others as if he was the violent character who truly didn't have any morals, but I disagree with that. The Misfit gave the story a lot more meaning. I don't think The Misfit cared about much because he simply didn't know what he was meant to do in life and his motivation was just finding what he wanted to do. I don't think he cared about killing people because he didn't care about life itself, "It's no real pleasure in life." pg.15,…

    Guy Montag is a firefighter, where instead of being the “hero” or saving lives by putting out the fire, he starts them. Montag comes from a very unique society, where synergy with environment and books is inconsequential. Montag is not a chronic character, he is not competent with his own charisma. He feels the need to recuperate his personality traits to find a satisfactory way to live and love the society he is displayed in. Montag accepts the perception that he is being restrained by his subconscious mind, Bradbury casts this conception throughout the book, but specifically on page 24 where Montag says, “He felt his body divide itself into hotness and a coldness, a softness and a hardness: a trembling and a not trembling, the two halves grinding one upon the other.” This is a direct quote that shows Montags first episode of psychological distress in Fahrenheit 451. This identity crisis is delivered upon Montag when he meets a 17-year-old girl by the name of Clarisse, who asks Montag questions that put him in a moment where he is in a desperate investigation to a more relevant meaning to his life. He goes through a stage where he enters this intense desire to accumulate knowledge. Although Montag gets an excessive “pleasure to burn,” stated on page 3, he develops this immense amount of bravery and literally steals books from the residence of the criminals who are not supposed to conceal them. Bradbury utilizes fire as a major symbol in Fahrenheit 451, especially in relation to Montag and the hardships he has to attempt to destruct.…

    Throughout the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Elizabeth, the main protagonist's, character changes from being averse to having Mr. Darcy, the other protagonist's, favor, to wanting to please him. Elizabeth’s character changes due to Darcy's change in civility throughout the novel. Georgiana, Darcy's sister, is the catalyst for Elizabeth's change in character, as seen by Austen’s use of the word "pleasure." Because Georgiana greatly admires Darcy and Austen describes her as being a sweet character, she is able to change positively Elizabeth's feelings of affection towards her brother, Darcy. At the beginning of the novel, Elizabeth does not aspire to please Darcy because of his lack of gentlemanliness. At the tea party, however, during which Elizabeth has the honor…
