Firstly, Alice’s betrayal centers on her husband, Arden. She betrays Arden in two ways; she plans his murder in a cunning way, and she does not remain faithful to him. She, along with some help, contrives a plan to murder Arden, so that she and Mosby may bring their secret relationship to the surface. Though Alice prefers to be with Mosby, and not to kill Arden, as noted when she states “…Might I without control/Enjoy thee [Mosby] still, then Arden should not die;” Alice understands this is impossible if she truly wants a relationship Mosby (“Arden” 274-275). “It is the fulfillment of Alice’s … desire for Mosby that is most blatantly presented as dependent upon the termination of Arden’s life” (Schutzman 290). Therefore, Alice creates a plan
Violet is a very cute, feminine name which fits the character’s role as the femme in the lesbian relationship. One could accentuate the fact that whenever Violet is away from Caesar, she appears to be less feminine. Also, whenever Violet is talking to men, her voice becomes high-pitched which seemingly makes her vulnerable ensuring her to be taken care of. This can be seen in many scenes from the film especially the scene where Caesar opens the briefcase and finds nothing in it except a stack of newspapers. Caesar asks “Where could the money be?” Violet replies with her...
For instance, when August and May went to the paint store to buy paint, August wants to get her favorite color blue, but May decides she wants the Caribbean Pink color. Caribbean Pink was the tackiest color August had ever seen, but since it would to bring a bit of happiness to May, August decides to get it knowing that “[t]he hardest thing on earth is choosing what matters” (147). She wants what her heart desires but she’d rather help May recover. The same applies to June, she would have accepted helping Lily at the beginning when Lily first came to the pink house. Then, later June did not want her to stay any longer because she did not trust Lily and did not want Lily to cause any more trouble for the family because May will feel sorry for Lily. Before May’s death, May leaves a note saying she is “[t]ired of carrying around the weight of the world...It’s [her] time to die, and it’s [June’s and August’s] time to live. Don’t mess it up” (210). After reading that letter from May, June made a decision to get married and finally moves on with her life. August quits making and selling honey she decides to take care of Lily, Rosaleen, and the pink house. May knows she was holding them both back by having them continuously worrying for her instead of worrying for themselves and their
She becomes an active protestor against the feed, as she experiences many issues of her own, and she brings the idea of invisibility to the surface. Violet mentions how she wishes she could be invisible when she says “"What I 'm doing, what I 've been doing over the feed for the last two days, is trying to create a customer profile that 's so screwed, no one can market to it. I 'm not going to let them catalog me. I 'm going to become invisible” (page 98). This quote is significant because it shows her desire to go against this corporation and to attempt to gain her privacy back. She has experienced many issues with the feed, especially when it was hacked and crashed on her. This was essentially what prompted her in trying to hide herself from the constant spotlight, where her every move was watched. Violet is the prime example of my argument that these characters are striving to find their own identity, and definition of being human. She is proving that they have become so accustomed to the feed that they have allowed it to completely take over their lives, to the point that the idea of being separate from technology, as we are, seems almost unthinkable. Her character decides to make a change as she goes against what this futuristic world pushes on people, and her proactive personality marks a major element in this
This malady, her scar, makes her physically grotesque, much like Joy/Hulga in O’Connor’s “Good Country People.” She has never been beautiful, and that is one of the deepest desires of her heart. While on the bus ride, she picks apart other people’s features as though she’s shopping; she wants that person’s hair or those eyes and that nose, all features to make her more beautiful after her scar gets healed. This desire to be a beauty is also a kind of grotesque quality, as is her loneliness and need to be loved; she wants it so badly it nearly overwhelms her personality and is all that she can thing about. Like Joy/Hulga, she is lonely in the lifestyle she lives, and is looking for someone to love her. Just like Hulga befriended Manly Pointer, so Violet befriends Monty, but with more favorable events than Joy/Hulga’s newfound friendship. Monty truly seems to love Violet; in the end of the story when she comes back from Tulsa
When someone already has everything they could ever ask for, they’re still going to want more. Something to work for, or else life becomes boring, as Daisy points out many times in the novel. When both men she loves are threatening each other and fighting for her fondness, she’s realized what she’s done wrong. She’s fallen into the same trap as Myrtle, being stuck between two men, but she still has feelings for Tom. “I saw them in Santa Barbara when they came back
Violet has a deeper understanding of the society she lives in, and she also begins to question the corporations who run that society. When Violet was at the doctor’s she starts to, “think about things” (Anderson 80). At this particular scene, Violet sounds paranoid as she explains her thoughts, “Everything we do gets thrown into a big calculation. Like they’re watching us right now. They can tell where you are looking. They want to know what you want.” (Anderson 80). Violet is now understanding why they are programmed the way they are. She then makes a huge simile for it, “It’s like a spiral: They keep making everything more basic so it ...
Daisy, for example, lives a miserable life, even though she appears otherwise. On the outside, she seems to have everything—a happy marriage, wealth, and beauty— which also connects to the American dream. Her relationship with Tom may appear to be perfect, however their marriage is marked by adultery, deception, and dissatisfaction. She married him only because she had to for his wealth and reputation. Daisy finds out that Tom has an affair with another woman in New York, but she does not leave him when Gatsby gives her the chance to.
Although their money and social status gives them everything they need and want, they are still restless in life and in marriage. No matter what and who they have, they are never satisfied. Tom had Daisy, but wants Myrtle, too. Daisy has Tom, but wants Gatsby, too.
In her final letter to her mother, Eliza admits her wrong doings. She tells her mother she ignored all the things she was told. All their advice fell on her deaf ears. She explains that she had fallen victim to her own indiscretion. She had become the latest conquest of “a designing libertine,” (Foster 894). She knew about Sanford’s reputation, she knew his intentions, and she knew that he was married, yet she still started a relationship with him. And her blatant disregard for facts and common sense caused her unwed pregnancy and premature demise. Eliza Wharton had nobody to blame for her situation but herself. She ignored warnings, advice, common sense, and other options available to her. She chose her ill fated path and had to suffer the consequences.
Daisy's greed can best be seen in her choice of a husband, and in the circumstances
