The Treatment of Males and Females in the Tony Kytes the Arch Deceiver and News Of the Engagement
In examining the two stories I will be approaching a sustained
inference on how men and women are portrayed within each story.
Looking at each story I will be able to summarise the way in which the
writers deals with the sexes. Within each short story I will be
dealing with different issues that emphasis the treatment of theses
constituents. Evidentially, the characters are an important indication
to what and how ideas are portrayed. I will be dealing with the
characters and how they bond 'male and female' interaction or parental
bonding 'mother and son'. I will also be looking in depth on love and
how that affects the people within each story.
Tony Kytes the arch deceiver is a short story that has a very
contradictory meaning. As expected the title would be an indication to
how the story is structured. 'The arch deceiver' this immediately
gives an implication to what is in expectance within this story. The
idea that deceivers are dark schemer, have a clinical view of how
things should be. However, 'arch' gives a clear indication that this
character is the top, the highest by the way in which the title

Kytes is a person who has aspirations and has high standards that are
planned to accuracy. Yet, his failure is his defeasance. The slackness
of his planning leads him into his disaster 'fate' towards the end of
the story. The prominence of the title could be the technicalities of
the story. The Arch Deceiver is clearly a strong standing statement

affable to connect with it is not intimidating by the ideas, meanings
and morals. The story gives a sense of harmony an essence of love and
warmth. The audience could appeal to a wide range of people. The ideas
of mother and son relationship could indeed grip the attention of
woman and maybe learn from this whereas it could apply to children or
people of a developing age. The hidden meanings within the story seem
to leap out at the reader and the jaw- dropping change in the story
gives that sense of excitement in the reader. 'We live and learn' is
an excellent finish with leaves the reader with something to walk away
with. Like a pearl that they can roll between the fingers something
that they can look at from different angles and see the beauty from
each way.

But as we go through the story more further the two stories seem to be
Though these stories differ in content, they serve to give the people the impression that
In each of the stories there is an aspect of nature. We can treat this
To begin with, I will begin with a brief summary of both stories in order to better
While there have been a great number of changes in the world since Shakespeare wrote Othello, there are a few truths about humanity and society that remain true. Othello is notorious for it’s examination of race, but is not given enough credit for its observations of gender. Iago embodies masculine gender roles in a severe and exaggerated way, allowing his desire for proving his masculinity to corrupt him morally. Iago then turns and uses his own fears of inadequacy against Othello as the root of his revenge and to improve his own self-image.

As all the stories begin to interconnect in some way, relationships are tested, created and broken apart.
In Kleist’s novella The Marquise of O, the narrative depicts the account of the Marquise of O’s, a young Italian window and a “lady of unblemished reputation”(Kleist 68), sudden impregnation and her subsequent attempts to solve the question of the paternity of her child.
