Joy Newsome's Room: Feminism

Feminism is the power for females to break the boundaries that they exist to be inferior to men. Women should be free to live the life they want and not have to listen to any guy.
Society is constantly changing; every tradition and custom today will most likely not be there tomorrow. Many years ago, people were defining women as being men’s property, however, that is subject to change as women are becoming independent individuals who do not need a man to live their life. In the film “Room”, the main character, Joy Newsome otherwise known as “Ma”, falls for a trick that a guy named Old Nick planned, and he kidnaps her from her family, tortures and rapes her in a place that Joy calls room. After being locked up in a shed for 7 years, Joy Newsome
She does not know how to deal with the events that happened to her. The main character is completely distraught and is not capable of living outside of room. She has no control over herself and she is a danger not only to herself but to others as well. She does not know how to raise a child, let alone be stable enough to be independent. Joy Newsome’s life has not become any better after leaving room. After a couple of days of being released from the hospital and escaping room, Joy has not been doing so well. She does not know how to control her emotions nor does she know what is best for her and her son. Her mind sets on the way she used to live in room.

However, they do not realize that woman, even if society does not believe so, are already equal to men and that some females can even outsmart them. Even though these males ruin the lives of innocent girls, that does not mean that they are incapable of ever returning to
Joy Newsome outsmarts her abuser and escapes home with her life and her son. She does not let Old Nick prevent her from living her life the way she wants to. She does, however, have numerous complications with restoring her life the way it used to be, but in the end she is stronger than ever and her life pleases her. Females always portray the victims in most films, however while that is still the case in this movie, Joy Newsome plays the hero as well. She devises a scheme that saves her and Jack Newsome’s life. Since this movie relates to a huge issue that occurs on a daily basis around the world today, woman should not let those abusers take everything away from them. This film gives woman hope and a sense of superiority. The reader, whether being male or female, should commence seeing that woman are not dolls to play with. They are not men’s property and they will not let any man define them. They should start seeing women equal to
