    Published in 1850, The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is a book based on sin, guilt, and redemption. A woman, Hester Prynne, must bear the guilt of sin by wearing a scarlet “A” on her bosom. The reason she wears this letter is because she had a child by a man, Arthur Dimmesdale, who is not her husband, Roger Chillingworth. Although she has committed the sin of adultery with Dimmesdale, her husband is also guilty of being a sinner himself. According to the narrator in Chapter 14, “This unhappy person (Roger Chillingworth) had effected such a transformation by devoting himself for seven years to the constant analysis of a heart full of torture, and deriving his enjoyment thence, and adding fuel to those fiery tortures which he analysed and gloated over.” would convince anyone that Chillingworth is the most sinful character in The Scarlet Letter. Three reasons for why he is the most sinful character would be that he deceives the colony with his untrue identity, stays in Boston to get revenge on Reverend Dimmesdale, and posses worldly and sometimes prohibited forms of knowledge.…

    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…

    It has been 125 years since the Ripper murders occurred; it is amazing how much of the area has managed to survive since 1888. A quote from a letter about how Jack the Ripper kills his victims, “Jack's knife flashes, then there's but one, and the last one's the ripest for Jack's idea of fun.” It is clear from the evidence from the letters that he wrote to the authorities, authorities conclude that Jack the Ripper didn’t only murder for fun, but he thought it as his work as seen through his method of operation and his types of victims. Perhaps the true identity of this mysterious murderer will never be…

    Another trait that would be beneficial for Lyddie as a married woman would be compassion. On page 88, paragraph 4 states, “Me, Lyddie who washed her and fed her and dear Charlie who made her laugh.” This shows if she took care of her sister by feeding her and washing her, that she could do the same in marriage. Another detail is on page 116, paragraph 2 which states, “I need to know the total sum of the det. Writ soon.” This shows that if she is willing to pay off her mother’s debts by working harder. When you go to college you don’t get paid which would probably be hard for Lyddie. Due to being compassionate, Lyddie would have been much happier being married to Luke.…

    Betty Friedan launches her nonfiction account of the twentieth-century crisis among American women by describing their trouble as so deeply ingrained that few people can see it. She calls the trouble with women’s identity “the problem that has no name” and says it has no name because women are told to believe—and often do believe—that “the problem” doesn’t exist. The problem, as Friedan describes it, is that women are increasingly taught to believe that their existence and happiness is limited to the roles of spouse, mother, and housewife. Because so few women are able to recognize that these roles are limited or that they might be unhappy with them, the problem has “no name.”…
