The author was quick to show that women's virtues are to be displayed through obedience, beauty, and piousness. The lord's wife in Bisclavret fails to support her husband and is tortured by the king, the wolf, and later by the genetic deformities of her offspring. The seigneur's wife in Yönec accepts the gifts of Muldumarec and is blessed with fleeting happiness and the postmortem adoration of her son's subjects.

  • Compare And Contrast The Great Gatsby And Romeo And Juliet

    Essay 4: Comparative Analysis of Two Texts When comparing two texts, one must look at the characters and themes to find similarities and differences and we see a similarity with the theme of accepting reality in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and The Great Gatsby. There are differences in both texts with the way the characters fight reality, but the outcome is the same. The power of love in both texts is looked at as more important than social priorities and the main characters will do anything to get what they want and it results in death. One might come to conclusions to say that F. Scott Fitzgerald based the relationship of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan on Romeo and Juliet, seeing that both stories have characters who do not accept the reality and in their minds, love overpowers everything. When looking at these two texts side to side, one would notice many similarities in the actions of the main characters.

  • The Wife of Bath: Illustrating Courtly Love

    960 Words  | 2 Pages

    “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” is written in an entertaining and adventurous spirit, but serves a higher purpose by illustrating the century’s view of courtly love. Hundreds, if not thousands, of other pieces of literature written in the same century prevail to commemorate the coupling of breathtaking princesses with lionhearted knights after going through unimaginable adventures, but only a slight few examine the viability of such courtly love and the related dilemmas that always succeed. “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” shows that women desire most their husband’s love, Overall, “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” shows that the meaning of true love does not stay consistent, whether between singular or separate communities and remains timeless as the depictions of love from this 14th century tale still hold true today.

  • Simba and The Secret

    1452 Words  | 3 Pages

    "What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience" This quote from The Secret expresses young king Simba’s struggle throughout The Lion King perfectly, from the moment his life got inverted, to the day his destiny was finally realized. During the “Hakuna Matata” sequence, Simba’s transformation into manhood from childhood innocence is witnessed, but this was only a physical alteration. It becomes apparent later on in the film that he was still a naïve child, virtually unchanged mentally from the beginning of the movie, just in a more mature body. In fact, it wasn’t until later, as an old flame is rekindled and he goes on a spiritual journey, that Simba finally emerges as the king he was destined from birth to be. As I stated earlier, The Secret plays into the story very well, and really helps with understanding the importance of one’s outlook on life. This is displayed through not only Simba’s struggle, but also the song, “Hakuna Matata,” and several facets of the plot itself, which I hope to illustrate in the next few pages.

  • Sleeping Beauty: Feminist Critics

    1097 Words  | 3 Pages

    The tale of Sleeping Beauty is influenced by oral folklore and various written versions. Today fairytales are told as a domain for the entertainment and teachings of children. In traditional storytelling, peasants transmitted folklore orally around campfires to audiences of mixed ages. However, during the 17th century, peasant tales, such as Sleeping Beauty, were altered by writers like Charles Perrault’s, to appeal to the courts of aristocracy. Thus the characters of Sleeping Beauty adorned a courtly air to appeal to the crown, such as Louis XIV of France. Throughout history, various cultural influences transformed the tale of Sleeping Beauty through the manipulation of various social forces to achieve better entertainment purposes and reflect Christian beliefs and customs. In addition, the moral of the tale conveys a message that women remain passive in hope to marry her true lov...

    Ramatoulaye recalls how Mawdo and Aissatou were madly in love, but their marriage was never accepted by the groom’s family as she was “a goldsmith’s daughter” while he was a nobleman (Bâ, 2008, p. 17). Therefore, Mawdo’s mother did everything in her power to separate the two, one of which included marrying him off to her brother’s daughter, Young Nabou, meaning that Aissatou would have “a co-wife” (Bâ, 2008, p. 31). This forced Aissatou to leave him as she did not want this lifestyle. Three years after this incident, Modou married Binetou, their daughter’s best friend, without Ramatoulaye having any knowledge of it, yet choosing to stay with Modou as a co-wife who never received any attention ever again.

    This competition helps in developing the plots of the two novels. For example, throughout the letter that Ramatoulaye writes to Aissatou, the plot of “So Long a Letter” revolves around the second marriages of Modou Fall and Mawdo Bâ. This creates a sense of competition between Ramatoulaye and Aissatou, their first wives respectively. The competition between Ramatoulaye and Binetou to acquire the attention of their husband, Modou Fall and between Aissatou and la Petite Nabou for Mawdo Bâ is what keeps the readers’ interest in the novel. This competition becomes all the more evident when Ramatoulaye describes the formalities involved in carrying out the death ceremony for her husband, Modou Fall. When all the formalities have ended, Binetou, Ramatoulaye’s ‘co-Wife’, finally leaves. This gives Ramatoulaye a sense of relief. This occurs when she says,
