Poverty and the Person Poverty in the US is a problem‚ as it is anywhere else. It’s a relevant subject today in 2015 as it was in Stephen Crane’s time in 1893. Stephen Crane was known for his work in Naturalism‚ Impressionism‚ and Realism‚ in a time of Romanticism.

The main characters’‚ sisters Blanche and Jane Hudson‚ personalities are developed immediately and do not change throughout the movie. Baby Jane was a child star in the 1910s whose career as an actress faded away in her early adulthood. Now an older woman‚ Jane has an unhealthy obsession with her childhood fame and
