    She comes off as vapid, numb, and petty. She's a follower with few ideas of her own. Far worse, she neglects her daughter Mae Mobley, and physically and verbally abuses her. As Aibileen, who works for Elizabeth, observes, "You see her in the Jitney 14 grocery, you never think she go leave her baby crying in her crib like that. But the help always know".…

    Fahrenheit 451 Society Quotes

    The best example of this is on page 44 of the novel. Mildred says, “ ‘No. The same girl. McClellan. McClellan. Run over by a car. Four days ago. I’m not sure. But I think she’s dead. The family moved out anyway, ‘ ”. Clarisse McClellan, in this society, was considered odd and nobody knew how she became herself. Montag had grown close to the young seventeen year old, and for four days he did not know where she had gone. He finds out that his wife, the person who he is supposed to love, knew four days earlier that Clarisse had died and hadn’t told him this shows signs of Mildred’s sense of unfeeling. In Captain Beatty’s speech, he talks about how everyone in society wants to be happy. Mildred was so focused on being happy herself, that she didn’t care about her husband being sad and having a sense of loneliness. This makes one forget that they are actually…

    Similarities Between The Great Gatsby And Legally Blonde

    Warner breaks up with her because Elle is not serious about her education, she decides to follow his advice and become a law student: “Once Warner sees me as a serious law student, he'll want me back. It's a completely brilliant plan!” (Legally). Elle grows up in a relaxed family where being a lawyer or a doctor is not necessary, this is a sharp contrast to Warner's family. Elle has completely changed her career path to impress Warner for the feeling of being in love, when in fact she may not be sure who exactly is her perfect man. Warner sees her as low class because he feels she is a pretty but not smart. Warner is not this person, during their breakup, he claims: “But the thing is, if I'm gonna be a senator by the time I'm thirty—I can't keep dicking around” (Legally). Elle sees Warner as a perfect human being because of the feeling of love, and takes this quote insult as advice rather than as criticism. Elle yearns to love someone and feel loved, so she looks past a person's character. Elle has made it her goal to impress Warner in return of the slim chance of a mutual relationship rather than considering the realistic goals of her…

    Cathy Ames Character Analysis

    To say that there is no good in evil is to deny the very reality of evil’s existence. Black and white thinking such as the topic previously stated is what truly can hurt us the most. When you look at moral issues you must acknowledge that it is a grey spectrum, with many different viewpoints. If I told any person who has actually read East of Eden that I admired Cathy? They would think me insane and possibly give me some nasty looks, as well as cross the street when I walk past. But since you have to read this essay, I think it’s fair that I make my point. Cathy is a real go-getter, she does what she has to to make ends meet. She isn’t easily swayed, and has a strong moral foundation, whether or not it’s a good one is a moot point. Lastly, she’s not easily discouraged. Even in the face of direct adversity, she brushes herself off and keeps on trucking.…

    The Unbecoming Of Mara Dyer: Character Analysis

    Appearance is everything, the way someone looks, talks, and acts all make up who they are as a person. When someone does something the way they are seen often affects the outcome and consequences of their actions. This is seen very often in both Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. The main characters in both of these novels do awful things but their physical appearance, mindset, and whether they are a good or a bad person affects the way they are treated. The way society sees a person's overall appearance too often changes the way their actions are seen and dealt with and how they are treated as well.…

    Film Noir Analysis

    In Chinatown, she is the widow of a murdered city official with a secret she is keeping from the rest of the word. In The Maltese Falcon, perhaps the most widely known detective film noir, she is the woman at the heart of a missing person’s case that keeps the audience guessing through the entire running time. As defined by the website Film Noir Studies, “she refuses to play the role of devoted wife and loving mother that mainstream society prescribes for women. She finds marriage to be confining, loveless, sexless, and dull, and she uses all of her cunning and sexual attractiveness to gain her independence” (Bayer.) This in itself may be part of the reason why we don’t see her as the hero of film noir. She is a character that contains traits that are traditionally rejected in women. Even with her all-around dynamism, she is often seen just as the sidekick to the detective or his one-dimensional…

    “Blanche borders on the unsympathetic because of her lack of self-awareness.” Explore this view in relation to Williams’ presentation of Blanche in Scenes One and Two.

    The character Blanche is quite a complex member of the play; you do not see a true representation of her until several scenes in. The two opening scenes show different sides to the character depending on whose company she is in. Having come from a good family with a “proper” upbringing, it can be said that she has led a somewhat sheltered life and therefore finds it hard to relate and sympathise other characters that did not experience the same quality of life. Her actions are impulsive, spontaneous and often she acts without thinking of the consequences; this makes it difficult for the audience to feel difficult toward her and can ultimately be traced back to the fact that she has little self-awareness. However, just as there are examples of other reasons that she is disliked by the audience and other characters, there are also examples of Blanche feeling and showing sympathy.…

    Character Analysis Of Blanche In A Streetcar Named Desire

    Based on my reading thus far, Blanche proves the most antagonistic characteristic. She is sister of Stella and came to meet her unexpectedly. She lost her husband few years earlier and she is a social pariah due to her indiscrete sexual behavior. She also seeks for people attention and wants them to complement her. She has bad drinking habit which she tries to hide from everyone. Blanche's flirtatious behavior causes a lot of problems in Stella and Stanley life. Blanche displayed cunning, manipulative, and mendacious types of personalities which makes her antagonist.…
