Elle Newmark: An Analysis
"Unrequited love does not die; it's only beaten down to a secret place where it hides, curled and wounded. For some unfortunates, it turns bitter and mean, and those who come after pay the price for the hurt done by the one who came before", says the persuasive words of the author Elle Newmark, a woman embarking on a quest to explain the mysterious fathoms of love itself. When an individual, submerged in isolation, discovers that aspect of love, the life once inhabited simply vanishes into the withering unknown, for the depths of severe seclusion no longer haunts the every step journeyed. In Daphne du Maurier's novel of exhaustion and maelstrom, Rebecca, each character, intrigued by the crucial need for impeccable love, embark on a similar

    The Grotesque Old Woman, by Renaissance painter, Quinten Metsys illustrates an old and unattractive woman of the 16th century. Her voluptuous, weathered breasts are on displayed and her headdress is one of astute fashion of an earlier German period and her eloquent dress and corset are fashionable to Italy in this time period. Her aged hands hold a small and delicate red bud, a symbol of engagement, and her slightly lifted chin is of poised position. All of this beauty and detailed is over shadowed with the features of a rather controversial “ugliness.”…

    Donna Haraway's Analysis

    This semester, the readings were a bit challenging, but overall I enjoyed the readings. It has always been very difficult for me to understand Donna Haraway, but by discussing her in class and giving examples, I was able to have a better understanding of her topics. Throughout her work Modest_Witness@Second_Millennium. FemaleMan©_Meets_OncoMouse: Feminism and Technoscience, Haraway explains that cyborgs are constructed as the postmodern icon in today’s society, because of science. Haraway explains that, “Biology was interesting not because it transcended historical practice in some positivist epistemological liftoff from Earth but because natural science was part of the lively action on the ground” (Haraway 1997, 104). Biology not only determines…

    It has often been claimed that with marriage comes loves. This belief, although true for some, is false for others. Janie, the protagonist in Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, was one of many young ladies who realized love is not always found in marriage.

    "She lay awake, gazing upon the debris that cluttered their matrimonial trail. Not an image left standing along the way. Anything like flowers had long ago been drowned in the salty stream that had been pressed from her heart. Her tears, her sweat, her blood. She had brought love to the union and he had brought a longing after the flesh. Two months after the wedding, he had given her the first brutal beating. She had the memory of his numerous trips to Orlando with all of his wages when he had returned to her penniless, even before the first year had passed. She was young and soft then, but now she thought of her knotty, muscles limbs, her harsh knuckly hands, and drew herself up into an unhappy little ball in the middle of the big feather bed. Too late now to hope for love, even if it were not Bertha it would be someone else. This case differed from the others only in that she was bolder than the others. Too late for everything except her little home. She had built it for her old days, and planted one by one the trees and flowers there. It was lovely to her, lovely." (Hurston 680).…

    Beloved by Toni Morrison delivers intense and intriguing themes which create a powerful and rich story line. These themes are intertwined into the story lines within the story line, and the themes are carried within the strength and mystery embodied within each character. Slavery, murder, womanhood, manhood, human nature, death, and love are just a few of the themes that surround this novel to create nothing less than a masterpiece. The plot of Beloved does not carry itself throughout the novel but relies heavily on the intricacy of each character and their relationships with each other. One main character central to the story line yet restricted from falling into the depth of its central influences is Denver. Throughout the novel, Denver struggles to combat extreme feelings of loneliness, isolation, and abandonment by trying to find her own place in the history of her family. In this essay, I will discuss Denver 's relationship to other central characters and the story line by explaining the method which Morrison uses Denver 's character to reach the naivete of the reader.…

    Neuman’s conceptualization of person, health, environment, and nursing provides the framework for the Neuman’s systems model.

Clients are viewed through a holistic approach that studies the complete person and physical, psychological, and environmental factors that affect the person. Neuman views clients as dynamically organized systems, which have a core composed of basic survival needs shared among all humans (Ross & Bourbonnais, 1985). Client interaction is essential to defining the person and factors associated with treatment.…

    The New Woman Analysis

    • 556 Words

    The New Woman was conveyed through the artists illustrations beginning in the 1880’s and continuing through the years, ending in the 1920’s. These images such as the works titled, “What Are We Coming To”, “In a Twentieth Century Club”, “Picturesque America”, and “Women Bachelors In New York”, all conveyed this idea of a “New Woman”. The qualities that a New Woman must have included a woman who pursued the highest education and made effort to move up in the professional world. “She (the New Woman) also demonstrated new patterns of private life, from shopping in the new urban department stores, to riding bicycles, and playing golf.” (pg. 374) The artists attempted to create this perfect all around woman who’s lives closely resembled what the men of that time were doing. Such as in figure 6.8 titled “In a Twentieth Century Club” which shows women dressed in clothing which closely resembled that of a mans attire for that era, at leisure, socializing with other woman. This “club” looked very similar to a men’s drinking and eating club. “ Although role reversal still provides the humor, the women waitresses and patrons are physically attractive, while the women’s unladylike posture and clothing would have been viewed as shocking equally significant is the cross dressing entertainer.” (pg. 374) Not only did artists attempt to convey a way that the New Woman should act, but they also created this popular physical image of what one should look like such as the Gibson Girls pictured in image 6.9. Most all of the illustrations showed a white woman of the leisure class, however African American women still envisioned and strived to become a New African American Woman.…

    Those who are unlovable still desire to be loved and insist that if “that person loved me, they would buy me an engagement ring”. The insatiable demands made by the unlovable are sometimes made in vain, but that are so often met.
