Both Serjoca and Aurelia become interested in Alfonso and Serjoca begins to make Aurelia’s look unattractive. Once she notices what he has done, Aurelia rushes home to remove the unappealing make up.

    Summary of Las Hijas de Juan: Daughters Betrayed

    Josie Mendez-Negrete’s novel, Las Hijas de Juan: Daughters Betrayed, is a very disturbing tale about brutal domestic abuse and incest. Negrete’s novel is an autobiography regarding experiences of incest in a working-class Mexican American family. It is Josie Mendez-Negrete’s story of how she, her siblings, and her mother survived years of violence and sexual abuse at the hands of her father. “Las Hijas de Juan" is told chronologically, from the time Mendez-Negrete was a child until she was a young adult trying, along with the rest of her family, to come to terms with her father 's brutal legacy.

At the same time, "Las Hijas de Juan" is an inspirational tale, filled with strong women and hard-won solace found in traditional Mexican cooking, songs, and storytelling.…

    Analysis Of Sonnet Xx III By Garcilaso De La Vega

    The flowers, “rosa y azucena” are metaphors that reflect her facial expression and appearance, for example, the pink colour from the rose reflects the sign of vivacity in the lady. It could also be interpreted that the rose is a sign of her hidden passion for him. The white lily is a reflection of her honesty, purity and innocence. Here, Garcilaso is comparing the lady to a flower, soft, gentle and delicate. The adjectives “ardiente, honesto” are used to describe her gaze which gives us a further insight as to what this woman is like. If she has a burning gaze, then it is without a doubt that she has passion, but she is also honest which is again, a depiction of her calmness…

    Mgt 984 Week 2 Essay

    “Bien Pretty” surrounds the idea of a womanizer, also known as Flavio Manguia. Throughout the story, this young man is compared by the speaker to a trap. She says that as soon as a girl falls for him, “well, you were in for it” (137). The author strategically wrote this story to display to her audience that the speaker was well aware of the trap, but she fell for it in the end anyway. This male antagonist is described more as an object or a disease throughout the story rather than an individual, which is another indication of gender representation as a theme. The speaker, for example, says that he at one point wore her prettiness away. She then discusses her friends and how their beauty has been worn away by men as well. Throughout this short story, she continues to refer to men as disruptors or as mistakes. She also implies that once a girl falls in love with a boy, she has entered into a sort of trance. She explains that her Flavio wasn’t pretty until she was in love with him. This indicates that she as a woman could have been independent and young without a man, but fell into the same trap as most other women do.…

    Essay Example # 2 Changes and Continuities in Women’s Public Roles During the Renaissance

    The looks of the woman weighed heavily of how she was viewed in society. Her beauty was one of the few positives about her characteristics. There was a huge need for the woman to be beautiful if she wanted any sort of recognition in the society. However, looks weren't the only factor in which would determine the amount of attention the woman would gain in the society. Her personality was also another factor weighed in with her physical looks. She was commended for having a personality that was "drawn-back;" such as being timid, submissive,…

    Breaking Away From Stereotype In Victor Villasenor's Rain Of Gold

    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…

    Cyrano De Bergerac Beauty

    Beauty is a debatable topic. It is hard to define as the styles and people that are considered beautiful at a certain time, might be considered ugly by those who come a century later. While the latest fashion changes constantly, the one thing that society agreed upon for centuries was the pursuit of beauty. Whatever the century, the quest for beauty has prevailed, whether it be by putting arsenic on one’s face to create paleness or exposing oneself to rays that cause cancer, in order to be tan. Beauty is different to everyone, but a few features are generally considered agreed upon by society, and the general opinion of one such characteristic, Cyrano’s grotesque nose, has continued to be the same for centuries. Cyrano de Bergerac, the main…

    How does Willmore woo the prostitute Angellica in Behn's novel 'The Rover'?

    Willmore is very sneaky, almost Machiavellian in the ways he chooses to persuade Angellica to sleep with him. He exploits her beauty to try to make her understand that she doesn’t need to demand money from men. His view is that she is beautiful enough without having to prostitute her gorgeousness for material gain. He describes her as “this Heaven of Beauty” (183). Thus by relating her to a Goddess, as something that is out of this world, he is deliberately manipulating her through being charming and through appealing to the consciousness of her female beauty. By this I mean that Willmore knows that women like to be called beautiful. By engaging her in this way, he can cunningly manipulate her through arguing that the money she demands does not equate to, or parallel her beauty. Hence, this demand, in effect, is unnecessary and derogatory to her person. He further utilises her beauty to encourage Angellica that because of her attractiveness she should raise her standards. She should demand more from men in terms of affection, rather than lust, because she deserves better than they give. Willmore states, “[I am] one that scorns this baseness which you practise” (185) demonstrating that prostituting herself is the lowest of the low, and somebody of such beauty does not deserve to…

    Theme in Lenses

    Corinne’s thoughts led to her distressed emotions on the up-coming surgery to replace Grusha’s eyes. The reason for her distress reinforces the message because the source of that distress does not come form the fear of an unsuccessful surgery, but the idea that her friend will no longer possess real eyes. Corinne loved Grusha’s brown eyes that told a story. She felt that it would be easier to “carve her own heart out of her chest” than to replace Grusha’s eyes. She also felt extremely guilty about taking ways Grusha’s eyes because she believed that by taking away those eyes, she would also take away a part of Grusha that made her unique: a part of Grusha’s soul.…

    Compare the Central Characters in ‘Medusa’ and ‘My Last Duchess’

    In each of the poems, both Medusa and the Duke of Ferrara represent the fickleness of power and how it fluctuates in daily life. Duffy’s manipulation of a paradox within ‘Medusa’ displays the extent to which power plays a part in the Greek myth of Medusa. The extended metaphor of Medusa with “filthy snakes” that “hissed and spat” creates an impression of aggression and physical strength. The sibilance of “hissed and spat” creates an onomatopoeic which helps the reader to conjure a vivid image as well as presenting Medusa as bitter and angry about her life. In addition, the use of dynamic verbs “spattered”, “shattered” and “spewed” show the raw strength that Medusa’s power gives her. However, the paradox is in that Medusa is so powerful that she traps herself and cannot have a real life as a young woman, finding love and happiness, further reinforcing her bitter tone. Her vulnerability is highlighted by the fact that she tells her partner to “be terrified” and that it would be “better by far” for him to leave her, evoking pathos in the reader. The final line “Look at me now.” is ironic in that as much as she craves interaction and wishes that someone could see beyond the mask and recognise her for who she is, no one can ever do that. This creates a sense of isolation, and the reader is sympathetic to her because of this. The Duke wields a different form of power in ‘My Last Duchess’; that of a political and social form. He views everyone as his possessions, particularly his wife, which is shown through the repeated use of the personal pronoun “my”,…
