Relationships In Plath’s Bell Jar
[ send me this essay ]
In Sylvia Plath’s only novel, The
Bell Jar, written shortly before her own suicide, Esther Greenwood takes
on the burden of being the representation of Plath in an
autobiographical foray into the world of the mentally ill. This 5 page
paper argues that her relationships - especially those with men, are
seen to be an outcry against the confines of a post war society bent on
building walls around women in order to control and manipulate them,
without regard to personal space or integrity. Bibliography lists 2
sources.

The Family by Pa Chin and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe: The Conflict and Acceptance of Change
[ send me this essay ]
The status of the family described within Pa Chin's work The Family is defined by class status and definitive social design. The structure of power and the interactions of the decision making processes are the foundation for the trans-class love that develops between Cheuh-hui, the third son, and Ming-feng, a house servant. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is the story of the conflict between Africa and Europe, between the Western way of doing things and the tribal consciousness. It is the story of the psychological and social consequences of the transition from the tribal indigenous society to the Western mode brought by the Imperialistic takeover. This 5 page paper examines the conflict inherent in the act of transition, either within the evolving social roles of the family or the cultural definitions of a society as it is assimilated into the modern world. No additional sources are listed.

Archetypal Woman
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page research paper comparing 'Medea' with Penelope in 'The Odyssey.' The writer posits and shows that while Penelope is the 'little woman,' true to the image of a loving, dedicated wife, Medea represents the opposite in Euripides' play. Both of these are important to religious and cultural myths. However, even with these diverse purposes, the authors guarantee the image of the fall as it relates to women so that the myth of womanhood is carried through. Bibliography lists the 2 original sources.

Jason has essentially abandoned her and sought a new wife who will bring him social standing and wealth. He is a weak power seeking individual who is not altogether a very intelligent man. He gives Medea simple-minded excuses for his behavior. In addition to being power hungry and lacking intelligence he is shown to be a man of little wisdom. No additional sources cited.

Lysistrata vs. Medea / A Comparison
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page comparison between the two classic Greek plays : Lysistrata (by Aristophanes) and Medea (by Euripides). Although a number of inherent similarities are pointed out, the writer defines Lysistrata as a comedy and Medea as a tragedy. One of the key differences between the two central characters was that Lysistrata -- from the very beginning -- sought to end violence. Medea, in contrast, ultimately used violence in an attempt to prove her point. No Bibliography.
