Haritaworn et.al and Rifkin’s pieces, through ethnographic examples aim to explain the social construction of kinship groups, which in turns encompasses the construction of sexuality, gender, and emotions.

The main objective of this chapter is to describe violence and its purpose in a literary work.

Jealousy is an emotion very evident in our society. We often compare ourselves to others, noticing what they have that we do not, most commonly in terms of money or looks. Even those close to us spark our jealousy, maybe a friend or sibling; although most wouldn't admit the fact. Author John Knowles touches on this subject in his first published novel A Separate Peace. Through the voice of Gene, Knowles uses figurative language in a self-deprecating tone to show jealousy, as evident in the passage, “The second wave, as it tore toward the beach with me, spewed me a little ahead of it, encroaching rapidly; suddenly it was immeasurably bigger than I was, it rushed me from the control of gravity and took control of me itself; the wave threw me

Ha is jealous because she wants to have as much freedom as the boys in her family. “.. I pouted when mother insisted one of my brothers rise first… only male feet can bring luck. ”(Lai pg.2). Jealousy is something most people can't control because it is something most people struggle with.

Most of the domestic violence reasons come from the conflict between women and men relationship; however, the women is the one who get beat up and injury “ Eight children and five women have been killed in sickening domestic violence attacks” (2, Withmore).

Human beings have the weakness to get jealous and envy others lives. No matter how much we try to ignore it, we want what we don't have. We secretly desire this crude jealousy passionately. For example, in the Crucible, Abigail envys John Procter. She is extremely jealous of Elizabeth that she tries to cast a spell to kill her.

In society, there is a lot of violence, in particular, violence against women. Women are very often murdered, far more than is discussed. We never hear about most of these cases, simply because there are so many of them. 25% of women have experienced some sort of domestic violence, and 20% have faced sexual violence, making having faced violence almost normal. The notion that violence is something normal is very dangerous, as it is not only harmful to survivors of violence, but it also makes it more likely that more people will be victims of violence as perpetrators can get away with it more easily. Though violence against women is not talked about enough, our flaws as a society are reflected in literature. An example of an instance in which violence against women appears in literature is in John Steinbeck’s novella Of Mice and Men. Said instance is the death of “Curley’s Wife”. She is blamed for her own death, and she is clearly not valued as a whole person, no one reacts emotionally to her death. Victim blaming leads to the normalization of violence and the devaluing of women.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, to be corrupt is, “to become tainted or rotten [or] to become morally debased.” In the play, Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Macbeth begins the play as the Thane of Glamis and a brave warrior in the battle. As he obtains the position of Thane of Cawdor, he beings to change for the worse. Macbeth changes over the course of the play because he believes that he is becoming more independent and stronger, but in reality, he is actually becoming weaker, more insane, and corrupt.

Being jealous is the feeling envious of someone’s achievements or advantages. In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, the character Gene Forrester is very jealous of his best friend Finny. From the beginning of the book Gene always admits he is jealous of him, but Phineas never seems to notice how Gene is feeling. It is hard to admit jealousy but the way Knowles does it helps us realize that jealousy is a normal part of life.

Domestic Violence is a human tragedy, and has been a part of life for many individuals. It is not subjective to a particular group, race, or culture. Historically, the feminist movement preserved the theory that domestic violence is a growing matter because of the continuous power differential between the male gender and the female gender. Remarkably, this approach on domestic disputes unveiled the inner workings of barriers men, women, and children would face when in a domestic violence situation. The feminist theory emphasizes on studying “the gendered nature of all relationships…which aims at understanding how gender is related to social inequalities and oppression” (Marsigila & Kulis, 2015, p. 148). Disastrously, an ignorant notion that once dominated our culture was the belief that emotional agony was less painful than physical brutality. However,

Life is like balancing a scale, and every shift in life is a function of the display or the demonstration of power. Power is a force that governs everything in life, and out of the many forms of power, anger is one form often dismissed. Anger is a type of power generated from the feeling of inequality aimed at balancing out an uneven scale the victim feels. For a long time in history, women have been unequally treated, discriminated against, and subdued in spite of their attempt to change the gender inequality they experience. Their actions are being characterized as having temper tantrums, excessive rage and often times, mental instability. The anger in women, fueled by gender inequality, is a display of their power. This paper explores the

Jealousy is described as someone who is feeling or showing envy of someone because of their achievements and advantages. Jealousy plays a major role in Shakespeare’s play Othello. There are many instances throughout the play that show jealousy between the characters. Throughout the play, jealousy is used for destructive purposes only. I believe that Iago longed to get revenge on Othello for previous issues. This only results in a long line of accusations and disputes between the characters in Othello.
