For example, the second most frequently iterated theory as to why Williams has been relatively neglected involves sexual prejudice--some scholars believe that the playwright's homosexuality makes him unfit as a critical subject. Such prejudice appears to be common, particularly from some scholars in the new critical movement3. Regardless of the reasons ... work which is the destructive impact of society on the sensitive non-conformist individual" (Letter, 1939, to Audrey Wood)4. I have created three categories into which Williams's outcasts can be placed: first are sexual outcasts who, like the playwright, offer insight into Williams's feelings about his own sexuality; second are religious outcasts, who are vehicles for the playwright's commentary on contemporary Christianity; and third, fugitive outcasts, whose ...

Williams describes him: "Since earliest manhood the center of his life has been pleasure with women, . . .

Throughout his adolescence, Hagar brushes off Milkman's lascivious glances and displays of affection; however, as he matures, Hagar takes interest in Milkman and falls in love with him as she fulfills his sexual desires.

Hagar ... taken towards Milkman, no one wanted both Milkman's dead life and living life more than his father, Macon Dead. Upon Milkman's conception, his father Macon, suspecting his sister Pilate becharmed him into having sexual relations with his wife Ruth, fervently calls for Ruth to abort the child. Macon forces Ruth to make several attempts on the unborn child's life, including enemas and the insertion of knitting needles into ...
- 985: Biography and History: Harriet Jacob's The Life of a Slave Girl
- ... Jacobs, it was also important that she make sure the readers understood slavery from a woman's perspective. The hardships she had to endure not only entailed the work and the punishments, but also the sexual aspect of being a slave-girl. Her task is difficult, because in order for the reader to really understand her position as a woman and a slave, she must make the story extremely personal. If ... to choose the objects of your affection, whose homes are protected by law, do not judge the poor desolate slave girl too severley!"

In fact, because revenge is often the driving force for these abductions, the child may become subject to physical, sexual and mental abuse.

- 988: If Impeachment of Bill Clinton
- ... is in fact impeached it will affect the future of this country very profoundly. The main affect it will have is on future politics. Probes into political leader’s lives will be more common and sexual issues will be the number one issue. If impeachment takes place it will set a new standard for future presidents, and they better watch out because it will be a lot easier to impeach them after this. For such a minor offense to bring on impeachment hearings is in my opinion astounding because in the constitution it states that “high crimes and misdemeanors” warrant impeachment not sexual blunders. The amusing thing about this controversy is that it is not about how Mr. Clinton lied in court or with held information, it is about politics. The republicans have been out to get Mr ...
