- 751: The Color Purple
- ... citizens, Celie is ironically rewarded for following in her family's entrepreneurial interests. Celie's shift from underclass victim to capitalist entrepreneur has only positive signification. Her progression from exploited black woman, as woman, as sexual victim, is aided by her entrance into the economy as property owner, manager of a mall business, storekeeper - in short capitalist entrepreneur. (Alice Walker) Indeed The Color Purple is a fairytale; a world in which sexual exploitation can easily be overcome; and a world of unlimited access to material well being (Hooks 223).

- 754: Gilgamesh 3
- ... gain? What Enkidu gains is wisdom. The harlot -- brought to the wilderness to trap Enkidu -- stands for this wisdom and speaks for civilization, even as she stands also as an outcast and an object of sexual desire. Enkidu is seduced by the harlot and then rejected by the beasts. This seems a dirty trick. Recognizing the corruption in himself, civilized man corrupts primitive man to weaken him and make him one of his own. Yet for Enkidu as for human beings in general, sexual desire leads to domesticity, or love. "Enkidu was grown weak," the narrator tells us, "for wisdom was in him, and the thoughts of a man were in his heart." The woman says to him, "You ...

He wanted to kill her but he was torn by his feeling for her, all the pain he wanted to inflict was sexual. He wanted to "cook the ugly hole between her legs, and squeeze out her feces with his fists". His motive for killing her was justified by wanting to teach the Danes reality, but he refrained ...

- 757: To His Coy Mistress
- ... his coy mistress but also to the reader. He suggests to his coy mistress that time is inevitably ticking and that he (the speaker) wishes for her to act upon his wish and have a sexual relationship. Marvell simultaneously suggest to the reader that he/she must act upon their desires, to hesitate no longer and ³seize the moment?before time expires. Marvell uses a dramatic sense of imagery and exaggeration ... time, there is no period for such high praise. The speaker in this poem seems frustrated; he delicately tries to inform his coy mistress that their death is near, and they still have not had sexual intercourse. In lines 17-33 the poem seems to lose the exaggeration sense and suddenly becomes serious. He (the speaker) reinsures his coy mistress that ³you deserve this state?(state of praise and high acknowledgment ...

An additional way of looking at the symbolism of the snowman is that it signifies miscegenation; marriage or sexual relations between people of different races. People at Maycomb county, both black and white, were very prejudiced against the idea of miscegenation and those who committed it and would immediately marginalise anyone who disregarded the general 'rule' and had sexual intercourse with a person of another race.
