Story Kate Business
321 words
Thinking that it maybe was about time for
something not so spectacular, I grabbed this book
by Iain Not-M Banks while I was at the bookstore
(getting The Naked God). Good thing. Even with
it's high finance setting and international
business milieu, The Business is the most quiet
and laid back book I've ever read by Banks. This
is mostly because of the main character Kate
Telman, who's just so nice, and warm and
understandable that it's nearly too much. But only
nearly, Banks keeps her well in li...

Cambridge Cambridge University Taming Of The Shrew
2,014 words
A recurrent theme In Shakespeare's plays is the
idea that things are not always what they seem.
The Taming of the Shrew shows a good example of
this theme. In this play we find many
discrepancies between what seems to be and what
is. The main theme of this play is knowing what a
person is really like is more important than how
they appear to be. This is shown by Petruchio's
relationship with Katherine; the changing roles of
Tranio, Lucentio, and Hortensio; and the true
characters of Bianca and K...

plight of the Native American Indians throughout
history is plagued by many battles and episodes of
relocation from one reservation to the next. One
would have thought that the Native Americans were
merely puppets that the white man controlled to
fit their own needs. However, the battle known as
Custer's Last Stand was different. It would seem
that the Indian had finally gained control of

Kate Lynn Mother Child

On May 7 th, 1993, my eleventh birthday, my mother
broke the news. I was going to be a big sister to
twins. I was not happy. Being an only child for
over eleven years with divorced parents had made
me extremely spoiled and I did not want that to
change. I had become very accustomed to not having
to share my family's love and the prospect of
another child in the family scared me very much.
For weeks I didnt speak to my mother because I
felt that she had betrayed me in some peculiar way

Charlotte Perkins Gilman Dominant Submissive Relationship
1,277 words
In the last half of the nineteenth century,
Victorian ideals still held sway in American
society, at least among members of the middle and
upper classes. Thus the cult of True Womanhood was
still promoted which preached four cardinal
virtues for women: piety, purity, submissiveness,
and domesticity. Women were considered far more
religious than men and, therefore, they had to be
pure in heart, mind, and, of course, body, not
engaging in sex until marriage, and even then not
finding any pleasure ...

source of happiness, she experiments with art, and
as she awakens personally, she develops a deeper
commitment to it. Art plays a very important role
in the life on the narrator in The Yellow
Wallpaper too. For Kate Chopin and Charlotte
Perkins Gilman, art is work because it is both
difficult labor and "one's true vocation", the

Act Ii Scene Act Iv Scene

Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew raises
some controversial issues about the roles of
spouses and wives, the place of women in society,
the expectations of marriage and more. A main
topic throughout the play is Petruchio's taming of
Katherina and her eventual submission. Petruchio
can be looked at in one of two ways- as a cruel,
unfeeling bully or a man who brings Katherina
self-knowledge and contentment. The way in which
Petruchio's manner is viewed depends on the
historical context. I...

Lives Of Women Chopin
1,363 words
Kate Chopin A Style of her Own Kate Chopin uses
symbolism and realism to enhance her theme of
social conflict in the lives of women during the
nineteenth century. These conflicts seemed to
travel from one woman to the next, unnoticed by
the rest of society. Chopin used these conflicts
as a basis for all of her short stories and
novels. This inevitably started turmoil about
issues that never were brought out before. This,
in turn, opened the eyes of society to the
individuality of women. In The A...

Midsummer Nights Dream Merchant Of Venice

William Shakespeare had a way of creating
intelligent characters who made use of the art of
deception for their own personal gains. Characters
such as Lucentio and Petruchio in The Taming of
the Shrew; Oberon and Puck in A Midsummer Nights
Dream; Portia in The Merchant of Venice; and
Richard in Richard III, all wanted to further
their own agenda and did so in very sneaky and
deceitful ways. These characters smartly used
trickery and deceit to achieve their goals, and
succeeded. And let me be a s...

In Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew Petruchio
becomes a caricature of Katherine in order to tame
her of her shrewishness. In doing this he leaves
her spirit alive. The entire play centers on
identity and perspective. Shakespeare alters the
identity of many of the major players but the most
important alteration is the one that occurs within
Kate. The play begins with an identity switch as

Story Of An Hour Death Of Her Husband

Kate Chopin woke people up to the feelings and
minds of women writers in the nineteenth century
by crossing forbidden borders of the Victorian
Era. Author and feminist Kate Chopin was born on
February 8, 1850, in St. Louis, Missouri. The
American writer wrote the short story The Story of
an Hour in 1894 (Toth 5). Chopin lived during the
Victorian Era and was a first hand witness to the
suppression women faced in the late nineteenth
century. Unlike most women at that time, Chopin
was far from a c...

Constraints Of Society Feminine Sexuality
2,399 words
In Kate Chopin's short story The Storm, the
narrative surrounds the brief extramarital affair
of two individuals, Calixta and Alc? e. Many
critics do not see the story as a condemnation of
infidelity, but rather as an affirmation of human
sexuality. This essay argues that The Storm may be
interpreted as a specific affirmation of feminine
sexuality and passion conjoined with a
condemnation of its repression by the constraints
of society. If one is to attempt to interpret The
Storm, it becomes nec...
