    As the next few weeks go on we see Pedro and Tita's relationship develop. The biggest change is when Pedro's son Roberto is born. Tita begins to breast feed Roberto because Rosaura had no milk after the strain of her pregnancy.

Specifically when Pedro looked at Tita, it was a look that, when matched with Tita's "fused so perfectly that whoever saw them would have seen but a single look, a single rhythmic and sensual motion." This look changed their relationship forever, it bonded them together and they would never be separated in their hearts. This shows that the theme of, true love can withstand anything, is true.

  • Theme Of Masculinity In The Odyssey

    636 Words  | 2 Pages

    The theme of female legitimacy is exemplified in the scene between Clytaemnestra and the chorus leader. Mocked, overlooked, and disrespected, Clytaemnestra is mistreated from her first appearance in Agamemnon. When she tells the chorus leader that the “men of Argos have taken Priam’s citadel” he doubts the accuracy of her announcement, but she simply responds scathingly, "The Achaeans are in Troy. Is that not clear enough?" (Aeschylus 28). With this blunt retort, Aeschylus demonstrates that in the face of conflict, Clytaemnestra chooses a more direct, masculine approach in order to be seen as a respected source of information to the chorus leader. Despite her best efforts to be respected through the use of masculinity, Aeschylus asserts the futility of feminine legitimization by having the chorus leader call into question her rationality and judgement. Again, she responds with a startling amount of blunt honesty, asking if he thinks her "some young girl, that [he find her] thoughts so silly" (Aeschylus 29). At this obvious contrast between Clytaemnestra and a young girl, her masculine behavior is emphasized and the chorus leader's respect for her begins to
