Sexism in Anderson, James, Updike and Welty
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper that concludes: In these five stories, women are portrayed in various ways. Only Anderson's 'The Egg' continues to stress the inadequacy and calamity of women. James, Updike and Welty each present a twist on society's sexist view of women in the situations presented. Each writer provides redeeming qualities in their female characters, although the message is sometimes muddled in traditional constructs. In 'Daisy Miller,' James goes so far as to point out the error in those constructs, which is why the male character is named Winterbourne. The name itself infers that the man contributed to Daisy's death by not responding to his own perceptions incongruous with society's claims. His perceptions later proved to be accurate. Six sources cited.
