perception of gender and identity. The ostentatious playing with cultural conventions and assumptions related to sexual relationships and the female body‚ constitutes a sociocritical statement‚ which is artistically wrapped up in a melodramatic love affair. It challenges the conventional bina ry gender system‚ although‚ at the same time‚ it seems itself trapped in this system.

Many readers view The Woman in White‚ Wilkie Collins’s nineteenth century sensational novel‚ as a critique on marriage laws and gender norms within Britain during the 1800s. While gender lines are bent and perhaps even crossed‚ the male characters of The Woman in White seem at first glance to hold all the cards‚ and are not wary of reminding the females of that fact. While the dynamics of looking within The Woman in White can be understood as exposing patriarchal power structures and demonstrating

“A Sorrowful Woman” is to some extent an attack on marriage and gender roles. She allows us to view the social lie that comes with this commitment and in doing so I believe that Godwin is allowing her audience to see marriage from an entire different perspective. She is allowing us to see the reality of what the epigraph at the beginning of the story reads‚ Once Upon a time which always implies that it is a fairy tale with a happy ending. The protagonist being the nameless woman is portrayed as

All the Pretty Horses would be widely considered a fairly typical western in the traditional sense. There are many of the common western tropes that exist explicitly and implicitly within the novel. While much of the idealistic “western” characteristics appear in a blatant manner‚ the novel is laced with incidents and dialogue of seemingly little consequence or significance at first glance. There are many occurrences which are overlooked in the story that represent and support a common and major
