ending‚ optimistic romance as the subplot. When Susan realizes that her brother has been freed she can hardly believe it (p55 l 57/61). Heywood here plays on the words “amazed”‚ “maze” in the polyptoton. Certainly Susan is used by her brother (the woman as object‚ as in the main plot) as a ploy to catch Acton (p76 l96/7). So‚ from the dangerous maze where one may lose one’s references and even one’s identity‚ we move to the notion of surprise and even admiration (negative--> positive)‚ a word which

Yellow Woman Yellow Woman is skillfully written in first-person. The narrator is not the sharpest knife in the drawer but you can tell that she has a real connect to nature. The readers never learn her name. The story takes place in a more modern society where stories and myths are still passed on but not really believed. A reader can tell that it is set in the late twentieth century because the narrator spoke of pic-up trucks and highways. It is set along side a river on a mountain trail somewhere

Response to “Phenomenal Woman” I think the theme and value Dr Maya is conveying in this poem is self-confidence. She describes the hidden beauty that woman should use. To her‚ beauty is not about physical appearance it’s about elegance‚ style‚ attitude‚ inner beauty and especially self-confidence. In her poem she almost instantly starts by saying “I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size” which prepares us to learn about a different source of beauty. She continues after this statement

The Devil in the Shape of a Woman by Carol Karlsen (1987) astutely focuses attention upon the female as witch in colonial New England‚ thus allowing a discussion of broader themes regarding the role and position of women in Puritan society. Karlsen’s work‚ which has been well-received‚ focuses on the position of accused witches as largely females placed in precarious social and economic positions‚ often because they stood to inherit‚ had inherited‚ or lost an inheritance in property. Karlsen departs
