Macbeth - Hunger & Humility Some say that when offered power‚ a man would do anything to get it.

Her repetition of ‘POW!’ punctuates the narrative‚ highlighting her role as the deliverer of the knockout blow to George’s masculinity. Her observation that the event was both funny and awful simultaneously is perhaps an apt description of their marriage – a comedy that is excruciating to witness.

These young boys are adultified and are tied to these two controlling images of the criminal and the endangered species.

Moreover‚ Chief Bromden’s mother’s dominating role in the family also illustrates women’s threat to masculinity‚ i.e. Bromden’s father’s shrink in size after adoping his wife’s last name. Through descriptions of these consequences such as loss of masculinity‚ a world of matriarchy is created to show what the society will look like if ruled by women; yet this
