Parenting In Titus Andronicus
The Better Parent in “Titus Andronicus”

It is widely understood that both Tamora and Titus Andronicus are leaders in their own right. When the wars are over, they both have families to return to. So now it is a question of parenting. Who is the better parent? Tamora is a better parent than Titus Andronicus. She cares about her children, she has a good relationship with her children, and she is capable of influencing her children.
One reason why Tamora is a better parent than Titus Andronicus is the undeniable love and care she displays for her children. Tamora went from being a Roman prisoner to a Roman empress. Some may say this is a demonstration of her ability to manipulate, but correct people say this shows her care for the well-being

    Similarities Between Calpurnia And Alexandra

    Calpurnia is very respectful towards Atticus and his kids. For instance, she calls Jem Mister and always shows kindness towards Atticus. In contrast, Alexandra tries to tell Atticus how to raise his children and run the house. In the text it states, “Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire.” (81). This shows how she wants to raise the children differently than Atticus has. Furthermore, Calpurnia and Alexandra have similar character traits because they both believe a child should grow up with limits. For instance, Calpurnia raised the children to listen to what she and Atticus tell them as well as Alexandra while she stays with the Finch family. Their character traits are one way to compare and contrast Calpurnia and Aunt Alexandra.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird: The Four Styles Of Parenting

    After reading Kendra Cherry’s article, Parenting Styles: The Four Styles of Parenting, one can draw the conclusion that Atticus Finch from Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird should be categorized as an authoritative parent. In the article, one can see that the author defines an authoritative parent as someone who “establishes rules and guidelines that the child is expected to follow” but, when a rule is broken the parent is “nurturing and forgiving, rather than punishing”(¶5). This is tantamount to the behavior of Atticus in the novel by Harper Lee. His authoritative behavior is clearly presented in the novel when Atticus is told that Jem, Scout and Dill were playing poker with matches. Scout reveals that Atticus had already established a rule…

    Alexandria Vs Calpurnia

    I conclude that Calpurnia is a better mother figure than Aunt Alexandria for many reasons. First, Calpurnia is a good mother figure. Both Scout and Jem look up to her like you would to your own mother. When Jem and Scout are exploring in the woods and sight old Tim Johnson the towns pet acting strange. They immediately run to Calpurnia for help thinking she can fix everything. Calpurnia doesn't hesitate and calls Atticus for help, and he shows up with the town sheriff Mr. Tate. They conclude that the dog is sick and needs to be taken care of. Mr. Tate hands over his rifle to Atticus and the commotion is ended when he puts a bullet straight through the poor old dog. With silence Tim Johnson simply falls over to his death. We also can conclude as a reader that Calpurnia is…

    The Glass Menagerie Grandmother

    There is no one on Earth who could replace a child’s mother. Whether biological or not, whoever nurtures and shows love to a child while growing up deserves the title of a mother. As this child grows older, they may develop their own thoughts, opinions, and morals. They may disagree with their mother figure, even though they only want what is best for them. However, the mother could be wrong. They are not perfect. In Flannery O’Connor’s short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” this mother figure could be seen as the Grandmother. Her and her son clearly disagree on many things, such as where to go for a vacation (that she is originally not part of). In “The Glass Menagerie,” a play written by Tennessee Williams, Amanda, a mother of two grown children, is also in constant disagreement with her children. Both works of literature end rather tragically, all because of a mother’s love for her children. Although Amanda and the Grandmother may have…

    Compare And Contrast: Titus Andronicus

    To get back at Titus, she schemes with her lover Aaron to have Titus’s two sons framed for the murder of Bassianus, the emperor’s brother. Titus’s sons are beheaded. Unappeased, she urges her sons Chiron and Demetrius to rape Titus’s daughter Lavinia, after which they cut off her hands and tongue so she cannot give their crime away.” In the real world today, raping someone is also a federal offense but it happens almost every day in society. There are many humans who get raped every day and is scared to go to the Law enforcement because they are feared by their rapist. The difference between what happened in the play then in the real world is that in society today, there haven’t been any cases of someone getting their tongue and hands cut off. Rape is something that has been going on for centuries. The rape that had occurred with Titus’s daughter, Lavinia was to seek revenge to Titus from Tamora. This happens because Titus sacrificed Tamora’s eldest son to his own dead sons, which left Tamora overheated and promises to seek revenge. There are not too many revenges that are talked about in the real would. When I was in high school, there would be a group of friends making prank revenges among each other’s. We would do things like put salty in someone else drink, or we would do something like put water in a student’s seat so they can sit in the water.…

    Compare And Contrast Romeo And Juliet Parents

    Parents are a vital key in a person’s life. It is best to have both parents involved in your life because with that type of support system anything is possible. In this story, Romeo and Juliet never really had that support tho having both parents in their life. They never had this support because there parents were too busy fighting with one another over a stupid feud. I believe that this story would be much different if the parents spent more time loving and paying attention to their children instead of arguing and fighting.…

    What Are The Similarities Between Ancient Greece And Rome

    Greek and Roman civilizations role was not the same, especially for the woman. Education was very important, but women were still limited in learning and participating. In Ancient Rome, the power belonged to the father, the head of the household. The mother was not forgotten, for they have the responsibility of cleaning the household, cooking food, entertaining guests, and managing family. A woman could even own property and had political influences. However, the same story did not happen to women who lived in Ancient Greece, because they can not choose their marriage, way more inferior to men and supposed to be their home background. To take control of the household, the slaves, and the children were the Greek woman’s duty.…

    Romeo And Juliet Parents

    In the article “Sometimes Parents Just Don’t Understand,” the author describes the relationship between teens and their parents. The anonymous author states that parents are seen as “old-fashioned and protective” and not “empathizing” (P. 2, 6). Teens and parents are having a hard time listening to each other because they have different mindsets. Teens have a “semi-matured mind,” which makes them “act on impulse” and do rash things. (P. 6). Parents have a mature mind, but they have trouble empathizing with their children. This causes a lack of communication between both, leading to problems. I agree with the author that parents have trouble understanding their child, but I do not agree that parents are always apathetic.…

    Romeo And Juliet Dysfunctional Family Analysis

    Romeo and Juliet come from dysfunctional families. This is the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy. It is what lead to the death of both Romeo and Juliet. A dysfunctional family is a family with conflict, misbehaviour or neglect. Families should be close and understanding of each other. They should love one another and share their love and feelings. This is not the case with Romeo and Juliet’s families. Both their families had distant parents, the parents misunderstood their children and the families showed hatred towards each other.…
