Frye opens the essay with a statement how women’s anger is not well received by this society. Men view women’s anger as worthless and ignorable because they cannot control their anger as they view them simply because she was upset, hysterical or crazy. Men tend to control their anger by through violence, or downgrading by informing her how he cannot handle her anger. Male had not understood the fact that anger is normal reaction for the irritability, disorderly and frustrations caused by other person from the person to able go forth to their desired goal. For example, you are looking forward to go a concert but the storm hit, thus making the concert to cancel which it ends of disappointment but not anger since you cannot control the weather. …show more content…

Anger is righteous as it your interest to express to show your position that it bothers you which in turn it recognizes your position of authority to resolve the problem. However, Frye does not recognize anger as a right but a respect for a person’s domain. For instance, your coworker was building a bookshelf; you respect her by not taking her hammer away without asking her. It shows how you respect her property by acknowledge that it belongs to her, unless you have reason to take away her entitlement because she stole your hammer, thus claiming on the domain. You angrily make it obvious that it belongs to you because you earned it compared to the person who has your hammer. In turn, you demand a respect from the person, leading you to be

    796 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “Oppression” by Marylin Frye, Frye discusses the concept of oppression. She claims that women are being oppressed, and unfortunately, it’s true. Many men claim that they are being oppressed as well; and in a way they are. According to basic essentialism, men must be tough, and if a man were to “cry”(149) they would be laughed at and made fun of. Frye doesn’t want to undertake to prove that women are being oppressed, and men aren’t; she wants to sharpen the word, oppression, and show that it does indeed exist.

  • Edna Pontellier's Expectations Of Women In The Awakening

    450 Words  | 1 Pages

    Mr. Pontellier “looks at his wife as looks at a valuable piece of property” (2). This demonstrates the idea that men just viewed women as non human. The men just saw the women as a person who has to clean and can be controlled. No one married for love. Furthermore, this demonstrates the fact that women had to sacrifice the emotions that they were harboring in their hearts and continue to be unhappily married. This examines the idea that men are undermining the way women are treated by having them do all the work that they don’t want to do. In The Awakening, this idea is shown when Edna just decided to go “just simply felt like going out so [she] went out (58). This was not allowed at all and if they went against what their husbands and everyone told them they were shunned and judged.

If it was not a mother’s place to look after children, whose on earth was it?”(The Awakening, 565) and naturalistic movements; “A green and yellow parrot, which hung in a cage outside the door, kept repeating over and over: “Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapristi! That’s all right!”(The Awakening, 561) incorporated within. ; Like Mark Twain, we are able to play the role of a bystander within the life of an oppressed woman. Through realistic and naturalistic features in writing, the oppressed woman becomes our closest friend; in whom she confides her thoughts and emotions. Through the trust between character and reader; the woman has no realistic support, our support towards her as a member of the story is basic.

  • Mrs. Mallard's Freedom

    Countless varieties of internal conflict substantiate Mrs. Mallard to fight back the joy of freedom following her husband’s death. “She was striving to beat it back with her will” (Chopin 762) reflects how Mrs. Mallard would sense any indication between empathetic views of herself towards restraining freedom taking over her. Although struggles with desire connecting authority over her relief, she realizes she should not sense relief over her husband’s death and attempts to transition from that experience. By the same token, she appears vulnerable abandoning freedom because this influences social expectations. Even if Mrs. Mallard’s freedom did not portray a part of society, she would reject preparation to emulate through offering it. As

  • Alice Walker’s The Color Purple And Kate Chopin’s The Awakening

    1054 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout history society has been controlled by men, and because of this women were exposed to some very demanding expectations. A woman was expected to be a wife, a mother, a cook, a maid, and sexually obedient to men. As a form of patriarchal silencing any woman who deviated from these expectations was often a victim of physical, emotional, and social beatings. Creativity and individuality were dirty, sinful and very inappropriate for a respectful woman. By taking away women’s voices, men were able to remove any power that they might have had. In both Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple” and Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening”, we see that there are two types of women who arise from the demands of these expectations. The first is the obedient women, the one who has buckled and succumbed to become an empty emotionless shell. In men’s eyes this type of woman was a sort of “angel” perfect in that she did and acted exactly as what was expected of her. The second type of woman is the “rebel”, the woman who is willing to fight in order to keep her creativity and passion. Patriarchal silencing inspires a bond between those women who are forced into submission and/or those who are too submissive to maintain their individuality, and those women who are able and willing to fight for the ability to be unique.

    526 Words  | 2 Pages

    Frye opened the introduction with argument how the women that are oppressed as they are in the male-dominated society demands, which they cannot acquire. So many women are promoted that way that they did not realize in fact that they are oppressed, which she used the Birdcage metaphor as to show the bigger picture of the oppression. By picking only one wire, you merely see one wire in one setting, but when you move your eyes up or down, you start to see more wires, thus making the conclusion that the bird cannot fly away without being harmed. “No humans free of social structures, nor (perhaps) would happiness consist in such freedom.” [10]. The women are oppressed to their own roles that it hinders their realization that males are controlling
