Recommended: Character analysis of mary

“Behold the handmaid of God the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” This is from the Bible, when mary accepted to be the mother of Jesus. It shows her fearlessness, faith, humility, and loyalty to God. The thesis statement is how did Mary’s traits affect her life. Her first trait is faithfulness, she has many examples of this like when she accepted that she was to be the mother of Jesus. Her faith lead her through her life. She could have lost faith so many times like when Jesus was on the cross and died; but, she didn’t lose one bit faith. She instead trusted God’s plan and watched it play out during her whole life, until she was taken into heaven, body and soul.
Her second trait is her humility. She went through her life as the mother

  • Essay on A Society of Oppression in A Handmaid's Tale

    758 Words  | 2 Pages

    As the saying goes, 'history repeats itself.' If one of the goals of Margaret Atwood was to prove this particular point, she certainly succeeded in her novel A Handmaid's Tale. In her Note to the Reader, she writes, " The thing to remember is that there is nothing new about the society depicted in The Handmaiden's Tale except the time and place. All of the things I have written about ...have been done before, more than once..." (316). Atwood seems to choose only the most threatening, frightening, and atrocious events in history to parallel her book by--specifically the enslavement of African Americans in the United States. She traces the development of this institution, but from the perspective of a different group of oppressed people: women.

    She values Gods views and the way of life over materialist things and believes that is above all, with hopes of getting into heaven. Her religious views can be seen throughout her poems that I have read and ultimately tell a lesson that we can all learn from. In the poem, “Before the Birth of One of Her children” she describes death as inevitable and a act of God. Death because of birth was a common issue during that time period and she reassures that it is Gods plan and will protect of her children. She also makes references to God and heaven in her poem, “ To My Dear and Loving Husband”, as she writes to her husband that they must love so strong here on earth so that their love will last in heaven and for eternity. She says how God commands her to love her husband as she claims her love for her husband its stronger than anyone else 's. Through her poems she describes various tragedy that have happened in her life such as the death of her two grandchildren. Although their lives were “taken away from them” she believes that it was in Gods hands and that it must have been faith. So through terrible times she seems to look past them and move on because it is all apart of Gods

    Anna Quindlen’s short story Mothers reflects on the very powerful bond between a mother and a daughter. A bond that she lost at the age of nineteen, when her mother died from ovarian cancer. She focuses her attention on mothers and daughters sharing a stage of life together that she will never know, seeing each other through the eyes of womanhood. Quindlen’s story seems very cathartic, a way of working out the immense hole left in her life, what was, what might have been and what is. As she navigates her way through a labyrinth of observations and questions, I am carried back in time to an event in my life and forced to inspect it all over again.

  • Essay On The Hierarchy Of Women In The Handmaid's Tale

    1162 Words  | 3 Pages

    The hierarchy of women goes as such: Commander’s Wives, Aunts, Marthas, Handmaids, Econowives, and Unwomen. Commanders are at the head of their household. Every woman within these ranks has settled into their roles as part of the Republic except for the Unwomen, those who refused to become a part of their society under any circumstances--those who are sent to work camps and separated from the rest of the world. Aside from them, the rest of the Republic's women all serve men in one way or another. Women are made to believe that the roles assigned to them are to be seen as a great honor. Outwardly, women accept these roles with little to no retaliation, but inwardly and amongst each other, many perform small acts of rebellion against their overseers. One woman who partook in many of these acts is referred to as Offred throughout the story; however, her real name is never revealed.
