    Father Kiernan travels to a non-catholic church in Belo Quinto, Brazil where the people were mourning the death of Father Alameida. It is said that the statute started crying blood when the Father died and that the doves had returned then too. Father Kiernan takes several photos and samples of the blood so that he can do more research without having to remove the statute as he felt the people looked to the statute as a corner stone of their faith.

    Redondillas, a poem in which Sor Juana criticizes the double standards men have for women. Stating that according to men, women can never satisfy the needs or wants of a man, looking down on women who act “crazy” or accuse women of being “whores” when it is the men who give women no choice but to commit such acts. She goes on to say that men create monsters but when the monsters come out the run and hide blaming others for the monster they have created. Throughout the poem Sor Juana emphasizes how men treat women when it comes to sex, she questions “Who is the bigger sinner, the one who sins for money, or the man who pays to sin?” The men to whom she refers to in this poem are assumed to be the men who lead the church, leaders of the church! Church leader of then had so much power over the people and the way people lived their lives. In this poem Sor Juana takes a jab at the hegemony of her time.…

    Cartagena

    • 1260 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In the seventeenth-century Cartagena, defending one’s personal and household honor led to public acts of violence and even homicide. Offenses against a man’s honor basically provoked anger and desire for an apology, but individuals and public authorities manipulated violations of the honor code. Self-protection on bureaucratic hierarchies was one of the most effective ways to manipulate justice in colonial Spanish America, even when men would use their horrifying acts as torture. The honor men had was taken very seriously against women because “It proves Maria Manuel who was a woman living in Cartagena in the early 1600s, suffered horrible physical abuse due to her master’s sexual jealousy.” Pg. 55 The defense of a male honor came from elite status and privilege in a combination with sexual jealousy, motivated Maria Manuel’s master to abuse her. The ordeals were taken into place because her tortures justified their violence with rhetoric of honor, and that proved the sexual dominance over women. A few years later, a nuncio for the Cartagena Holy Office named Juan Ramos Perez, bought Maria Manuel. Perez eventually abused Maria, and even though a baby was created between them two, she was not happy because of the physical abuse Maria Manuel experienced. After the relations with Perez, Maria found a young Spaniard named Juan De Soto who had made a promise to marry her in front of witnesses so she could no longer live with her master’s sins. Unfortunately, for Maria, Soto fled after hearing rumors that Perez was enraged. This issue caused Maria Manuel to fall back into Perez power. Perez punished Maria by hiding her in several homes in Cartagena, and afterwards sent her to live with a family, which Maria Manuel’s sexual relation with the familiar caused her to get pregnant which then prompted a horrific response from her master. Maria was then imprisoned so she can be hidden…

    Throughout the texts we have read in class, including in the ones examined closely in this paper (namely Lanval, The Wife’s Lament, and Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath’s Tale) women consistently appear as powerful beings. This introduces a certain amount of threat simply because the woman’s position in medieval society was largely guided by the principles in the Bible – and thus, women were treated as “lesser” according to writings that stated that they weren’t allowed to teach, were to submit to the men in their life, and were to avoid “playing the whore” (Leviticus 21:9). The texts, then, will often attempt to rid those women of their powerful status or explain why they do not deserve it. At the very least,…
