Molly Bloom
In the passage from Ulysses, Molly Bloom is a vulgar character. She seems good hearted, but very petty. Molly was described as a thoroughly real person: freely accepting, jealous of other women, her sexual self, sometimes lugubrious, a very bossy person when it comes to her lover, and very knowledgeable about her husband’s peculiarities. Yet Molly is also a symbolic person and her characterization containing several tiers of meaning. Her lover, Boylan was like an insensitive person while her husband was something like psychiatry sexual.

    From the way Fitzgerald portrays Judy Jones, for example, it can be determined that internally she is full of youthful vigor and passion. Remarking upon her appearance after a prolonged separation from the narrator, he describes her rosy color as giving “a continual impression of [. . .] intense life, of passionate vitality” (Fitzgerald 190). Whereas as a child, this vitality in Judy is described as only being a “faint glow”. As she grows older, the color becoming more potent and “centered” expresses her growth into a passionate and vivacious woman. This change is a subtle notion that Judy has grown out of her sickly state and into one of power, livelihood, and as proven from her numerous encounters with men,…

    A major source of depression as described in the novel is the religion. As Stephen said, “I am the servant of two masters, […] an English and an Italian” (Joyce 19). Here, the Italian master refers to the Roman catholic church. During the 20th century, the unstable political state in Ireland allowed Roman Catholics’ power to pervade, becoming a driving force in Irish politics and a restriction of people’s thoughts. The metaphor Joyce uses in this quotation compares Irish citizens to servants, and Roman Catholics to the master. This metaphor emphasizes that people’s minds were easily influenced by the religion and their surroundings in general. By doing so, Joyce depicts people’s pusillanimity when ideas are forced upon by the society, just as servants when controlled by masters. The sense of depression is strengthened by Leopold Bloom’s thoughts during the funeral. A significant item Bloom describes is the “aristocratic” wine that only the priests are served with (72). The wine here symbolizes power and privileges. The fact…

    My goal in the functional area of safe is to provide a safe indoor and outdoor environment. Young infants are placed on their backs when they are sleeping. The crib is free of blankets, toys, or other soft materials that could cause suffocation. Mobile infants are kept safe by making sure that there isn't anything that is small enough they could put in their mouths and swallow. Toys are checked daily for broken or loose parts. Toddlers are kept safe by showing them the proper use of toys. They are encouraged to follow safety rules such as walking instead of running and sitting on a chair instead of climbing on it. As a child care provider I always have to check toys and playground equipment for any damages that may injury the children in my care, not only do I have to check toys and equipment I must check under toys outside for any creatures that may harm any of the children in my care. I am always giving gentle reminders of the rules that will keep them safe.…

With time, Judith became one of the first Americans to pursue and fully justify that women and men were equal in the economic world and that would make her a world wide author though her piece called “On the Equality of the Sexes.”…

    From the very beginning of Daisy Miller we as readers are informed that Daisy is a flirtatious American girl that does not live up to the standards of the European high society. For example, young women were not to talk to young men without a prior introduction from a mutual friend. These concepts are foreign to this young girl from New York. She is seen through the eyes of Winterbourne, our other main character, as innocent and unrefined. Regardless, she captures the attention of Winterbourne, who is drawn to her liveliness and “freshness”. Although Winterbourne is fascinated by Miss Daisy Miller he becomes torn because he is likewise engulfed by the ideals of European society. He is also warned by his aunt not to fool with “little American girls that are uncultivated.” She also advises Winterbourne that he has lived too long out of the country and warns, “You will be sure to make some great mistake.”…

    | “Its absurd to divide people into good and bad”-17“If you pretend to be good…”-15 In act three, the men of Lady Windermere’s Fan have gathered at Lord Darlington’s home and talk about Mrs Erlynne and women in general. Cecil Graham, a true dandy, remarks that he prefers wicked women to good women, since good women bore him. He also has a strong opinion on morality: “A man who moralises is usually a hypocrite, and a woman who moralises is invariably plain” (Wilde 357). He blames women for men’s bad behaviour and with his remarks regarding the transformation of men, he challenges the hypocrisy of society. He believes women prefer men who exhibit good behaviour. If men are bad, women will want to reform them. However, if men are good from the start they are not appealing: “if we are good, when they meet us, they don’t love us at all” (358). In addition, as soon as a man is reformed and shows good behaviour, a woman will leave him: “they like to find us quite irretrievably bad, and to leave us quite unattractively good” (358). This clearly shows the hypocrisy Wilde ascribes to society. Graham’s comments indicate that women secretly preferred to be with bad, immoral men. However, society disapproved of immorality, which made it hard for men to show any weaknesses in their characters.Graham also remarks- “a carefully thought out button hole is much more effective”. This shows that society is only concerned with appearances, which governs norms. In essence, fashion rules over honesty and morality.…
