    The concept of belief perseverance (Myers, 82) can be found in the film, “12 Angry Men”. Throughout the film, the jury members discuss the verdict of a young, Mexican boy. It is essential to note that all twelve men serving on the jury are Caucasian. Somewhat because of the boy’s ethnicity, many of the jurors are initially in support of submitting a guilty verdict.

    Throughout the story there are several aspects of the Protagonist’s character that play a major role in the shaping of her future. During her childhood she often demonstrates a sense of fear when she is sent to her bedroom. “We were afraid of the inside, the room were we slept (pg. 549).” She is intimidated by her personal space because she does not have control over it. Later, she gains control by adding lace to her side of the room; symbolically adding personality to herself and slipping into womanhood. When she felt uncomfortable she exercised her imagination, to psychologically regain control over the confusion in her life. Her subconscious effort to control confusing times were carried on to her later years as she was constantly put in difficult situations, which helped her to adjust quickly to change during adulthood. The dreams she created changed when she began to place emphasis on her appearance-that which she could control, other than past dreams of heroism that seemed so distant from reality. The Protagonist filled her childhood with much pride and maintained a consistent focused upon the activities that filled her childhood.

  • The Role Of Women In The Pearl By John Steinbeck

    1004 Words  | 3 Pages

    What is the true cost of fortune and success to one’s future? John Steinbeck assesses this idea through a novel, The Pearl, that focuses on the dominant and submissive roles of men and women. Throughout The Pearl, Steinbeck tells a tale of a poor man, Kino, who desires to provide a better life for his wife and child by selling a tremendously valuable pearl. However, in this quest to sell the pearl, the family encounters various life-threatening situations, transforming this newfound possibility of wealth to a burden in the family’s future. The role of men in this piece of literature outweighs the role of women by far since there are only two female characters in the entire story. They, as well as the other women in their environment, are expected to be subservient to men socially and economically. In John Steinbeck’s The Pearl, the role of women is oppressed throughout the entire culture they inhibit, yet this stigma is defeated in facing death.
