Because of his gender, it is impossible that Lamb could have experienced many of the hardships that Dolores must deal with in his novel.

Wedding Speech Delivered by the Bride Well, I guess this is slightly unusual – a brides speech - but those of you who know me will also know that the chance of me being able to keep me mouth shut while everyone else does a speech was pretty slim. So I’m sorry for adding another speech to the list but, if it’s any consolation, I’ll try to keep it short. Also, there are a few things that I want to say that no-one else will so please bear with me. If this sounds like a bad Oscar acceptance speech

Her constant struggle to fit the expectations of others is very painful which is why it’s marked by blood in the novel. Esther spends most of The Bell Jar telling the reader how she wants to lose her virginity. Even though
Act One, Scene One when Rita is first introduced, she’s a hairdresser and part of the working class. Russell introduced Rita as an audacious, ambitious but egoistic character. She isn’t scared to express her opinion, which generally amuses the audience, such as when she describes her opinion on the painting in Frank’s office she interprets it differently to what majority of the population would.

In “A good man is hard to find” author Flannery O'Connor writes “I was a gospel singer for a while," The
awaits for husband to come home one night, but something unusual happened.

An example of this is that girls love the color pink and are dainty while boys love the color blue and are aggressive which in some cases isn’t necessarily true. Stereotypes are seen throughout “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” at various times. Many of the men in the Mental ward are in there voluntarily because

I believe that I represent my mother’s American Dream, as she was not

however, Medea seems to be anything but sympathetic to the whole situation along with those affected by it. She’s utterly abhorrent while she threatens everyone's lives in the palace, kills her husbands new wife, and worst of all during the execution her children. In the opening scene of the play, Medea locks herself inside the palace. She wails and groans about how horribly wronged she's been by her husband.
