Woman To Man
.... The second intended audience is every woman and every man, as an expression of something from every woman to every man. The title Woman To Man makes the poem universal, more than just a poem from Judith Wright to her husband. There are no names given to the woman and the man within the world of the poem. The experience of \'the Woman\' becomes the experience of \'every woman\'. The third audience for this text is the literati – the world of literature. Judith Wright is a well-known Australian poet; this p .....

Woman To Man
.... to the Man, offering her body to create a child, through the act of sex. It also means that the woman has something to give to the man, not only the pleasure, but through blood and pain, a child.
The language compliments the mood of this poem, as it varies from a sad and melancholy cry, to a voice of hope, all in a constant confident feel, and by this, the poet\'s reflections and contemplation’s are communicated successfully to us, making us feel in the same way she has felt.
The first stanza begin .....

Wuthering Heights
.... willful, and "had the bonniest eye, and sweetest smile" (45). The readers can clearly see the special traits and features that make her unique in a special way. As a little girl, she has a very strong attitude. She is the type of girl that will react in a rather aggressive way when she doesn’t get what she wants. She is so used to always getting what she wants, that when the opposite happens, she throws a tantrum. One of the first examples of this was, "when she learnt the master had lost .....

Wuthering Heights
.... decides to marry Linton but reluctant to forsake Heathcliff: Every Linton on the face of the earth might melt into nothing, before I could consent to forsake Heathcliff. Oh, that\'s not what I intend-that\'s not what I mean! He\'ll be as much to me as he has been all his lifetime. Edger must shake off his antipathy, and tolerate him, at least….(Pg. 81) If I married Linton, I can aid Heathcliff to rise, and place him out of my brother\'s power. (Pg. 81) This is her attitude towards marriage. She is deeply .....

Wuthering Heights
.... the scene in the book when Catherine is \"in the throes of her self-induced illness\" (p38). When asking for her husband, she is told by Nelly Dean that Edgar is \"among his books,\" and she cries, \"What in the name of all that feels has he to do with books when I am dying.\" McKibben shows that while Catherine is making a scene and crying, Edgar is in the library handling Catherine’s death in the only way he knows how, in a mild mannered approach. He lacks the passionate ways in which Catherine and Heath .....

Wuthering Heights - Catherine And Heathcliff
.... are the story. Their powerful presence permeates throughout the novel, as well as their complex personalities. Their climatic feelings towards each other and often selfish behavior often exaggerates or possibly encapsulates certain universal psychological truths humans are too afraid to express. Heathcliff and Catherine’s stark backgrounds evolve respectively into dark personalities and mistaken life paths, but in the end their actions determine the course of their own relationships and lives. Their .....

Young Goodman Brown
.... on time for his meeting with the devil, but his faith to God i psychologically delayed his meeting with the devil.
The Devil had with him a staff that \"bore the likeness of a great black snake\". The staff which looked like a snake is a reference to the snake in the story of Adam and Eve. The snake led Adam and Eve to their destruction by leading them to the Tree of Knowledge. The Adam and Eve story is similar to Goodman Brown in that they are both seeking unfathomable amounts of knowledge. Once A .....

Young Goodman Brown
.... didn\'t have the birthmark. What he doesn\'t realize is perfection is unattainable, except in our minds.
The Maypole of Merrymount describes a maypole, and it\'s significance in American history. Hawthorne creates a scene of revelry (almost a Mardi Gras scene) and has it destroyed by the Puritans. This story reminds me of the Christian Creation Story with the maypole being the Garden of Eden and the Puritans being allegorical figures of Satan. Hawthorne seems to blame the demise of the American frees .....

Young Goodman Brown

When she \" …thrust her own pretty head into the street, letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap\" we associate the purity of \"Faith\" and the \"pink ribbons\" as a sign of the innocence and goodness of the town he is leaving behind (211). As he continues \"on his present evil purpose\" he sets off at sunset to enter the forest (212). A place \"darkened by all the gloomiest trees,\" unknown territory, and a place .....

Young Goodman Brown - Symbolism
.... goodman Brown\'s wife, also has a name that is indicative of her nature. The story directly supports this point in the phrase \"Faith, as the wife was aptly named . . . \" (184). Faith is persistent in trying to keep goodman Brown off the path of sin in the first part of the story: \" . . . pr\'y thee, put off your journey until sunrise, and sleep in your own bed to-night\" (184). Hawthorne does an excellent job of turning the main characters into symbols that are prominent throughout the story.

Young Goodman Brown - Symbolism
.... desires had to be tested through his journey into the forest. Those evil spirits constantly tortured the Puritan, constantly reminding him of his sin and the battle in his own heart. Hawthorne used the presence of these demon in "Young Goodman Brown" by demonstrating, through Brown, the Puritan Journey towards Justification. Going through the forest towards Justification was marked by the disappearance of the self. In place of the self, was the awareness of helplessness and the illusions of sin. .....

.... awakes to her husband Oberon. A triple wedding is planned and everyone is happy. (thinkquest.com 1-3) Throughout the play there are many references to the gender and sex roles of the characters. As described in the critical essay by Shirley Nelson Garner, the dominating male power and strange sex roles of the characters is fluent throughout the play. The ordering of the fairy, human, and natural worlds is a movement toward satisfying men’s psychological needs; but it also disrupts women’s bonds with each o .....

Since Demetrius had indeed made some convincing threats of violence against his unwanted love, Hermia automatically suspects him for murdering Lysander: It cannot be but thou hast murdered him. So should a murderer look, so dead, so grim. (Hermia, 3.2.58-59) F. Helena is so true to Demetrius, but he denounces her to a point of no return, threatening to rape her: You do impeach your modesty too much To leave the city and commit yourself Into the hands of one that loves you not, .....
