Gregor first leaves him room‚ and at the sight of him‚ Mr. Samsa responds by “glowering‚ and [clenching] his fists” (Kafka).

Criticism of Quitak’s Child observation Quitak first explains that she is “working on the assumption that the problematic aspects of our experience contain the maximum potential”. However I think it is important to clarify from the outset‚ how she reached this assumption‚ as the reader does not know whether she went into the observation with this belief or whether these assumptions were developed as a result of her observation.

Feminist Criticism “In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein‚ the author characterizes each woman as passive‚ disposable and serving a utilitarian function” (Haddad). For example the women in the story provide nothing more‚ but a channel of action for the male characters of the story. Justine’s character is very passive and she is tossed back and forth between the family and frankenstein‚ when she is accused of murdering Victor’s brother. This just shows a basic role of how women were put out to be just
