Their relationship parallels the roles that men and women play in marriage when the story was written. The narrator’s feelings of powerlessness and submissive attitudes toward her husband are revealing of the negative effects of gender roles. John’s decision to treat the narrator with rest cure leads to the narrator experiencing an intense feeling of isolation, and this isolation caused her mental decline.

Jenny never seemed to really deal with the fact that her second husband Sam left, she started taking it out on Becky, her daughter.

After though, she started going to the extreme of being oblivious to pain and suffering so she doesn’t have to deal with the feeling of sadness again. For Jenny, its one extreme to the next, as before her family it was with her looks. She was hardly eating thanks to Pearl’s comments about her weight and appearance. Just like Pearl, Jenny is also blind to family issues, choosing to believe she has a perfect American family instead of seeing how many problems they have. She is even blind to Slevin’s separation issues with his mother, he’s stealing random things that remind him of his her.

...nd alarmed to see her behaving that way. She has to keep "creeping" over John, even in the end, and it shows that a woman is not much different from a man, in the aspect of being a self-governing individual. People need to have control over their own lives and the ability to make their own decisions, even women. People cannot always make assumptions for what is best for others. We have learned this from John: John demonstrates that the best way to help someone is to have the patience to really listen and find out what that person truly wants, not simply making assumptions about what is right when its not in the other's best personal interest. But until every woman is treated in this manner, she will be driven into her own world of insanity where she continues "creeping" over all who try to control her.

Much responsibility lies with readers, actors, and directors. Remember, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Katharina and Petruchio are both victims of their social situations, their passions, and their egos, and by Kate’s final speech, it is clear that she doesn't really believe what she's saying – she's just telling Petruchio what he wants to hear. The final speech, then, can be seen as an extension of Kate's newfound ability to "role-play," or act. Katherine’s motivations for giving this speech (fear, exasperation, amusement) and whether or not Kate derives any power in her new relationship with Petruchio

Austen was a recondite writer with a new inside perspective with an outside view on life in the early 19th century. Born on December 16, 1775, Austen was a curious child given the unseal luxury of an education. Her father was a part of the gentry class and raised a family of ten, but was not well off by any means (Grochowski). Sense and Sensibility, written by Jane Austen, tells a dramatic story of three sisters and their emotional journey where they encounter love and betrayal. Because Jane Austen was raised in a liberal family and received a comprehensive education, her dramatic analysis of societal behavior in Sense and Sensibility was comparable to the hidden truths of social and class distinctions in 18th and 19th century Europe.
