Daniel Bo And Aunt Annie Character Analysis

Katie, the main character of the story, is a twenty-two year old Amish woman who lives near Lancaster County, in Hickory Hollow. Her love, Dan Fisher died four years ago. Katie is engaged to widowed Bishop John with four kids: Nancy, Hickory John, Levi, and Jacob. She feels like she is not good enough to marry such a man of authority when something inside pulls for worldly things.

The relationship between Kate and Petruchio is completely different from the love of Bianca and Lucentio. "Kate is a neglected, hurt, and humiliated daughter who disguises her grief from herself as well as others with a noisy shrewish temper" (Craig 342). She has a fiery disposition and a reputation for reacting violently to people. The challenge of capturing her is Petruchio's real attraction to her. He can be seen as a rough, unfeeling, greedy, "swash-buckler" who cares nothing for Kate's feelings (so long as she has money). "

Annie is a play set in the great depression about a orphan who manages to spend Christmas with a billionaire while trying to find her biological parents. Many people attempt to fake being Annie’s parents, to get a reward but none of them succeed, and Annie finds her real family in the Warbucks, the billionaire that cares for her, and gets adopted by him and lives happily ever after.

Underneath, Kate has some jealousy against Bianca. Her sister is prettier and all of the gentlemen want Bianca’s hand in marriage. Her father has also provoked jealousy because of his favoritism towards Bianca.

A scene that I think is very meaningful is when Kate describes Mrs. Mallard in at her window. For example, “She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.” I feel like this quote describes that she is now free to live without her husband. It symbolizes freedom that she has been wanting as you can tell later on in the

Kate is also very tough and modest like most men, who are raised and taught to hide their emotions in public. However deep inside Kate is still a female. In the second investigation which Kate had with Ellen, Kate does end up allowing herself to break down with tears in the midst of her conversation about her dead lover Anne. Here, Forrest shows that even though some women are masculine, they are limited to an extent because they are in custody to the biological determinism which determines the limits for the advancing of success based on sex (Rubin Thinking Sex). It is important that Forrest was able to show both sides of Kate: the tough masculine side and the soft elegant feminine side.

In Taming of the Shrew many of these events were particularly significant in terms understanding Kate’s disposition throughout the story. Kate’s character, being dynamic, goes through a very important inner change toward the end of story. At first, Kate was described as rude, sharp tongued, and stubborn. Kate was an envious woman who would punish her sister so she could get answers out of her. She would also yell at her father for not cherishing her as he did to her sister. This, however, changes when Kate meets Petruchio who, unlike others, has a tolerance for Kate. Petruchio successfully tames her to behave properly. His taming methods consisted of starving her, having her wear the clothes he likes and making her do things that were

“To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee is an exceedingly powerful novel. It includes many significant minor themes such as racism and hatred which leave the reader to have grown more attentive to the past once they complete the book. The book takes place in Maycomb County Alabama during the great depression. During this period there was a great deal of hate and prejudice towards people of color, in addition to a great regard to social class. The novels protagonists, Atticus Finch a well-respected lawyer and his children Jeremy “Jem” Finch and Jean Louise “Scout” Finch are a few of the towns occupants who respect others regardless of social class or race. For this reason, Atticus has no objections

This incident says and reveals a lot about the character ‘aunt addie’. For one it shows how religious she was, and that she was so religious that she put religion before her very own family. I feel like Aunt Addie, as well as the other relatives in the family (Granny etc.) have taken religion to an extreme level that is not seen much in today's society. I can infer that Aunt Addie’s extreme religious views were most likely influenced by other characters in the Wright family, like Richards granny. The fact that she was willing to beat her own nephew in front of the whole class almost makes her seem like she wanted to channel all of her angry emotions that she felt about everything going on, not just what was happening in that moment all

Growing up, Kate was recognized as Bianca’s bizarre sister. With Petruchio, she is shown her worth. She is now known as Petruchios affectionate wife. Her entire life she was compared to a girl who was flawless. Being compared to Bianca causes her to become shrewish. Kate is not Bianca; however, she does not deserve the treatment she recieves. Kate is surrounded by men that want to sell her off, so they can grab the real prize, which is Bianca. Baptista acts as a bidder and tries to get rid of his bad good before he sells his top prize. Baptista allows people to talk disgustingly about Kate. Petruchio takes her in and shows her that somebody does want her. Petruchio plays games with her to show her that she can be an intelligent and devoted wife. Petruchio plays the director and shows Bianca that she is a bright woman that can play any role that her husband requires her to play. Kate is not bound to being Baptista’s hideous daughter. Kate can be free with Petruchio. She is shown her full

During the course of the entire play, all of the characters except Petruchio treat Kate with disrespect. Baptista, her father, is especially insensitive to his daughter's feelings. When Petruchio comes to inquire about Kate, he describes her as fair and virtuous woman. Her father neglects to acknowledge that it was possible that his daughter could have those fine qualities (II.i.42-63).

Contrary to some of her characters Kate was not an independent woman. She was only twenty years old when she got married, and in a period of seven years she had six children. In her early years Kate was always known as a "bright student and a great story teller", but her writing years did not came until the 1880's. (Wyatt) Kate had a hard life, and it is assumable that she wrote about her personal frustrations. Through her characters, Kate represented the idealisms of feminism.

However, when Kate realizes “Daniel had become fundamental” (161) to her life, she decides to bring Daniel back to Crow Lake. This decision is vital for their relationship, and it also indicates that Kate eventually begins to face the problems in her life, and tries to resolve them.

Darcy is the main character, Jamie is Darcy’s sister and Hakeem is Darcy’s boyfriend/ ex boyfriend, Tarah is her best friend. Copper is Tarah’s boyfriend and Liselle and Brain are brother and sister. Now you know everybody in the book. Every character in the book plays a very special part in it. They make the plot special and unique in its own way.

As the play continues, we learn even more about Kate. For example, when Kate and Petruchio go back to Baptista’s, Kate begins to see how Petruchio operates. She learns that if she does what Petruchio says, even if she knows it is not true, she will get something she wants out of it, like going back to her father’s house. Petruchio test Kate when they meet the real Vincentio on the road and he asks Kate if she has ever seen a finer young women. Knowing what he is up to, Kate shows her amazing wit and decides to play his game. She has figured out that Petruchio has a method to his madness and if she plays her cards right, their relationship can be a partnership with a series of actions and rewards.
