    While John’s treatment of his wife’s depression is wrong, he does not necessarily do anything to make it worse. Just by ignoring her he is mistreating her. The problem with John in the story is that he holds all of the authority. He is her doctor as well as her caretaker. He is also stubborn and so sure he knows what is best for his wife that he disregards her opinion as just a symptom of her illness.

He wants her to get better but ends up just making her situation a lot worse. It is this counterproductively that makes John’s character ironic.…

    Marriage for a Femme Fatale is not a promise of love, romance and connection but rather one of unhappiness and darkness. In this film the family home is just a location to which displeasure thrives, and where Mr. Dietrichson hardly notices his wife both mentally and physically. In many noir films marriage life is almost sadistic, in Double indemnity it is clear that marriage and sexuality contrast each other, and that death and pleasure are the same thing. Another aspect of femme Fatale marriages in film noir is the nonexistence of children. In some circumstances the husband of the femme fatale is much older meaning that he may have an older child from his previous marriage, for example Mr.Dietrichson has a daughter Lola (Jean Heather). Phyllis…

    There are three stories that I loved in particular during this quarter. The Things They Carried, A Roman Incident, and A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings. These three stories carried a lot of emotion and excitement. They all have different plots and backgrounds, but for the most part, there are so much in common between these three stories in a psychological, socio/political, spiritual, queer, and feminist lens. Besides those examples, the one thing that connects these three the most is that the reader can find love in all of the stories.…

Ann has lived in a cave, with some supplies, ever since. She is desperate. Everyday she would pray and hope for someone to come so that she would not have to be alone. "At first when all the others went away, I hated being alone, and I watched the road all day and most of the night hoping that a car, anybody, would come over the hill from either direction" (O’Brien, pg 5) This support shows that Ann is hoping for someone to come because she is lonely and she wants someone to be with her. A person that is alone surely desires to have someone be with the or for them to come. It is obvious that this quote shows that Ann wants someone to come to her or in her direction. However, towards the end of the book Ann starts to regret ever wishing for someone to come to her.
