Reflexión de Casa de Muñecas
PREGUNTA: ¿Cómo se desarrolló su comprensión de las consideraciones culturales y contextuales de la obra a través de la actividad oral interactiva?

OBRA UTILIZADA: Casa de Muñecas de Henrik Ibsen

En el desarrollo de la discusión, se expusieron a la clase algunas temáticas. Entre los temas abordados se trata el amor y la amistad, el matrimonio y la familia, el machismo, el honor y las costumbres de la época. Cuando tratamos de las costumbres de la época se hizo énfasis en el machismo que era base de la sociedad Noruega del siglo XIX, enfocado en la familia; así se puede ver en la familia Helmer, donde Nora como mujer obededece a su marido, mientras Torvaldo era quién mandaba y gobernaba en el hogar.

La discusión me permitió darme cuenta que el matrimonio en la época estaba influenciado por la sociedad, donde se supone que había amor, pero en realidad estaba presente el machismo y la manipulación; Henrik Ibsen en la obra presenta una crítica al matrimonio y la posición de la mujer en la sociedad; rompe con los modelos establecidos, ya que encontramos a la señora Linde que trabaja y fue capaz de mantener a su familia.

Además logre comprender como Nora al ser dependiente de su marido pierde su personalidad como mujer y persona, de esta forma el autor juzga como el machismo discriminaba a la mujer y la estaba convirtiendo en un juguete, que daba de orgullo y honor a su marido, haciéndolo ver a este como un buen hombre, ya que seguía las normas establecidas en la sociedad.

Finalmente en conjunto con estas cuestiones que formaban parte del hilo de la historia, está el honor donde pude ver como este daba al género masculino supremacía, puesto que ganaba el respeto de los demás, exaltando su dignidad, pero para ello debía obrar correctamente respecto a creencias sociales; mientras la mujer de cierta forma carecía de este debido a que estaba relegada. En este contexto aparece Torvaldo quién salvaguarda su honor y el de su familia, entretanto Nora atenta contra este al

    The characterization, in The House on Mango Street, of Esperanza’s great-grandmother and Rafaela is used to convey how women were inferior to men in Esperanza’s society. According to Esperanza, her great-grandmother was a very wild woman. That is why she refused to marry until a man “threw a sack over her head and carried her off” (Cisneros, 11). This shows how unimportant women are, of that time, that a man could kidnap a woman and she could do nothing, no matter how wild she was. Also, despite her wild personality, Esperanza’s great-grandmother shows how women could be forced into marriage without a say in who they marry. Like Esperanza’s great-grandmother, Rafaela has many hopes such as dancing at the dance hall or bar. However, she never…

    It is viewed that in Latino culture, men are the dominant gender, and women are submissive to their male counterparts. However, in “Rain of Gold” written by Victor Villasenor, the character of Dona Margarita, a wife and a mother, possessed strength that was even able to boldly reprimand the character of her husband. Dona Margarita’s strength and support was valued in the book as one of the reason of fulfilling the family’s dreams. She was able to express her anger and frustration on her husband, Don Victor, when he gambled and got drunk. Her family felt hope when she did not give-up her hope that her daughter, Sophia, was still alive. Although she wanted to give the leadership role to her husband Don Victor, the book made it apparent that she is the strength of her family. However, the story also depicted Dona Margarita as a housewife whose primary role is to raise her children and manage the…

    These traditional account make it clear that food was and still is an important part of life. The traditional account dictates to the reader that food is a source of life and it highlights the importance of food and nature, which makes food available. I think that the natives relied on stories like these to convey that message because it's memorable. Since the story is memorable it makes it easier to pass along orally and easier for children to understand. This story format make that concept attainable for all people not just the educated. His story in particular almost identically reflects the book of Genesis. Both accounts almost included something that only the earth can provide being incorporated into human.

    Patria, one of the brave Mirabal sisters, goes through the most drastic life-changing battle. Patria struggles to overcome the tragedy of having a miscarriage and is overwhelmed with emptiness. Patria’s strong insecurities reveal themselves as she buries herself in sorrow and sadness struggling to come to terms with her loss. Patria still continues on but hides to protect herself. Although she loses her identity, she hides it from her community: “…a model Catholic wife and mother. I fooled them all! Yes, for a long time after losing my faith, I went on, making believe” (Alvarez 55). Still known in her community as a good Catholic wife and mother, Patria hides her loss of identity to others and projects toward society an image condoning her oppressive struggles, but inside she was “an empty house.” She goes on living the life expected of her, as she resumes her duties and puts on a good face over her broken heart. Patria represents the fears and insecurities we all portray when faced with challenges. She foreshadowed the rest of the people of the Dominican…

    Killing / Fiesta, 1980

    • 1575 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Today, family is one of the most sacred values we share in the individualist society we live in. Every family is different and has different rules and values; but in most of them, fathers are supposed to be leaders of the family, and role models for their children. They are also considerate like the one who transmits the traditions of their ancestors in order to carry them on. “Fiesta, 1980” is a short story written by Junot Dìaz taken from his short story collection, Drown, (1996). “Killings” is also a short story taken from, Finding a Girl in America (1980), written by Andre Dubus. Both of these stories are dealing with the family’s subject and provide us different perspectives of it. In Dìaz’s story we can see the relationship among a foreigner family, while in Andre Dubus’s story we see an American average family. In both stories, fathers play an important role; they figure prominently and have a considerable impact on their family but on the story also. The father in Dubus’s story is more family oriented that the one in Dìaz’; moreover the family is more closely–knit in Dubus’s story than in Dìaz’s story. The difference between the behaviors of the two fathers can be explained by their cultural backgrounds, which are not the same. These stories also provide us another perspective of the father’s role in the family, through their strength and their weakness without compromise.…

    “The nuclear family is a partnership between a male and female who are both sexually and socially benefitted by the association. The essential and fundamental pillar that differentiates the heterosexual relationship from the nuclear family is love. The empowering emotion of love leads the couple to attain the benefits of reproduction, enjoyment, and protection.” The nuclear family, a recently developed relationship, was greatly overshadowed by the lover boyfriend, homosexual, relationship for some time. While the men in The Symposium promoted the lover boyfriend relationship, they did remain involved in heterosexual relationships. However, these heterosexual relationships did not embody the characteristics of the nuclear family De Waal discusses. The key difference between the heterosexual relationship and the nuclear family is females’ inferiority and trivial role to males. “The men did not view the relationship as intellectually beneficial or challenging enough for the male to associate this relationship with love. The relationship was purely sexually driven.” The heterosexual relationship has revolutionized into the nuclear family. The most common and idealized relationship by the majority of human beings, the nuclear family is advantageous and salient to modern…

    This moving chronicle of one family coping with violence, teenage pregnancy, and school failure mirrors the struggles of families in embattled urban communities all over the country. In that movie, family members are Cisco Santiago, his sister Rosa Cruz, her husband Benny Cruz, her daughter Elena Castro and son Luis Castro from her previous marriage. I could not see any bond with Rosa and her children Elena and Luis. They were not following rules like us. They lived independently and they did not want any suggestion from them. I did not see any strength of their family. I think the family was not organized. Their microsystem, mesosystem, Exosystem and macrosystem were not strong to hold each other and attract each other into the family. In my family, I have to listen to my parents, follow rules and norms. I have learned from my family everything. So, I believe that they did not maintain their family like this. I did not know that family’s can be like that.…

    Esperanza is not a significant supporter of the gender positions that continue to keep women in her neighborhood demoralized. The men on Mango Street abuse not only their wives but also their daughters and imprison them in the home. Many times just being a woman can cause reason for such abuse. This is a fact that can be observed in the beatings which unfortunately Sally continuously gets, and also in the rape of Esperanza. Esperanza presents us with an analysis of the way men and women relate to each other and refuse to abide by the demands applied to her sex by marriage or perhaps acting in a womanly way. For our character, disobeying gender position and staying independent is considered an act of rebellion as well as a source of power.…

    The concept of man and woman reiterates through the notion of how Same-Sex marriage could affect families and children that are involved within Same-Sex couple relationships. Firstly, in relation to the idea of forming a family with homosexual parents becomes unnatural as Same-Sex parenting represents an attempt to disrupt that “natural” order of forming a nuclear family. Marriage has a place in the law because a relationship between a man and a woman is the kind of relationship that may produce children. Marriage is linked to children, for the sake of children, protecting their identity and their nurture by a mother and a father. Specifically, children are not brought up in what society sees as an acceptable relationship which could lead to bullying or mental problems in later life. For the sake of the children, if the parents are not appropriate then this situation of being involved with Same-Sex parents could confuse children or lead them to think that their parents are not normal.…
