Luella The Grandmother Character Analysis
The character that I am going to discuss is about a young lady that’s following her dream. This lady name is Luella Nunnery. When Luella was young around the age of 11 years old her grandmother was teaching her how to cook some of everything. She remember telling her grandmother “I am going to open her own restaurant up one day and cook everything that she you tough me grandma and name it after you”. Her grandmother replied “I would love that sweetie” Luella had just one problem when she was young, she wasn’t very sociable with others, in other words she was shy. Luella loved to cook for different occasion for her friends and family. When Luella grew up (age 18-32) continue to cook but she was working at jobs that were not making her happy.

    Lena Lingard intrigues me. She’s gentle even though she’s lived on the farm her entire life and she manages to make the littlest things exciting with her charisma. In ways, her adventurousness and excitement make her similar to Tony. However, they differ in that Ántonia possesses a quiet beauty and inner strength that contrasts with Lena’s liveliness. It’s strange-- I dream the same dream “a great many times, and it [is] always the same. I [am] in a harvest-field full of shocks, and I [am] lying against one of them. Lena Lingard [comes] across the stubble barefoot, in a short skirt, with a curved reaping-hook in her hand, and she [is] flushed like the dawn, with a kind of luminous rosiness all about her. She [sits] down beside me, [turns] to me with a soft sigh and said, ‘Now they are all gone, and I can kiss you as much as I like.’ I...wish I could have this flattering dream about Ántonia, but I never [do].” (109) I love Ántonia and her steady independence but I cannot see her in my dreams in…

    Duras redetermines the idea of the character in Savannah Bay. The three characters of Madeleine, Jeune Femme and Savannah cannot exist in their own rights. They all depend on each other’s action, memories, and admissions. Madeleine’s fragmented memories reflect her fragmented character. She is never a complete character, and the audience will never be granted a full picture of who she is. Jeune Femme is reliant on Madeleine for the representation of her mother, Savannah. Thus, it becomes unimportant to access the character of Jeune Femme, who, unlike Madeleine and Savannah, is not even accorded a name; she is merely a vessel present to retrieve information relating to the character of Savannah. Yet, Savannah is always absent. She is a character…

    Being the eldest child of three, Gertrudis was foreshadowed to be rebellious towards her family traditions. After many years of being oppressed by Mama Elena’s traditions, Gertrudis’ first lust for progress became evident when she had a reaction to her sister Tita's quail in a “magic” rose petal sauce. This reaction causes her to have “such strong emotions in her that she runs off with a solider in the revolutionary army and thus away from her mother’s oppression”. (Napierkowski 193).

Esquivel heavily explains, “surely the heat from her body, which was inflamed by love, would travel with that gaze across an infinite distance, with no loss of energy…” Meaning, Gertrudis does not want to continue to have…

Claudius appears to be freed from moral restrictions, while Hamlet represents the stereotypical isolated intellectual. However, both of them pale in comparison to the true outsider in the play: Ophelia. Both Claudius and Hamlet are too respected and entangled in the lives of others to be considered the ultimate estranged outsider. Ophelia on the other hand, is constantly pushed to the periphery, despite her significant relationships with many of the main characters. She is also unable to comply with the restrictive and conflicting expectations placed upon her.…
