Female violence sounds like a patriarchal heresy. In the time of the Lizzie Borden trial, women were expected by society to be seen and not heard, marry a man that their family approved of, and procreate, because that’s quite clearly all they are good for. So even the slightest notion that women could ever think of committing a violent crime sent people running for the hills. The Victorian era was a time where intimate female friendships were a normalized commonplace, so the notion that a particular woman could swing a particular weapon at her step-mother and father was quite out there. Authors have taken these cultural criterions and used them to create their version of murder mysteries. Caroline Knox is a decorated poet who wrote “Lizzie Borden through Art and Literature”, which will be the highlight of this synthesis. Knox compares Borden’s parricides to historical events that were turning points of their time period. Likening female violence to such events puts a new perspective on the violent act, because it this time, this was unimaginable. The end of the empires was like Borden’s crime, because neither were heard of or fathomable. Utilizing the female violence theme really gives an edge that would not be attainable otherwise, simply because it was so scandalous for women to step out of the domestic sphere. Authors express the complexities associated with female violence through comparing Borden’s parricides to the fall of empirical forces.

Where once she was a female, now she is both girl and boy, though most often and most conspicuously girl” (Clover 135). The main analysis with the victim is that the victim is going to be killed whether it’s male or female, beautiful or not, and sexually active or not. Postcoital death is the most common of slasher films and is usually a pivotal point of the climax. According to Clover’s piece, “the death of a male is nearly always swift; even if the victim grasps what is happening to him, he has no time to react or register terror” (136). With that being said, I think it is worth noting that there’s a reason female deaths are filmed at closer range and in more detail. I feel that it’s easier for viewers to watch a female be stripped and abused and killed, because of what the audience is seeing; her naked body and her being taken advantage of. The director of the film highlights two important aspects of the situation: tits and the screams. If mostly males are watching these types of films, they aren’t going to want to see naked men and how they are getting groped or abused because that is not appealing to the male

This essay will look at two main points on representation, in a pre-determined ten-minute clip of Shaft, firstly cultural representation which in this case is focused on the emergence of the Blaxploitation (Black-exploitation) genre. Then the representation of women and how their gender status affects the film’s narrative, and characters and how the film portrayed both points.

The novel, The Virgin Suicides falls under the writing movement regionalism. This can be seen in the entirety of the novel, which is centered around a simple suburb of Detroit. The writing movement of regionalism focuses on a specific geographical setting that effects the behavior, attitudes and actions of those in the novel. This is clearly seen in The Virgin Suicides, which makes the suburban setting of nosey neighbors and a tight knit neighborhood key to understanding the entire plot of the novel and the people’s actions as a result of their environment. In addition, the title of the novel, The Virgin Suicides has important connotations. The word “virgin” itself has connotations of youth and purity of body and spirit. In this way, the girls

With a complete dissection and annotation of The Slenderman Stabbing Shows Girls Will Be Girls, Too, we must look back at what we concluded and absolutely understand what was stated and how the choices made by the author can promote or obstruct the article in anyway. Continuing, we are able to witness a multitude of used techniques, creating depth to a possibly shallow article. The purpose, reasoning, and word choice are only a few examples of how the author can amplify a message in order to properly and efficiently communicate a meaning behind what might simply be seen typed on a paper. Multiple techniques have been used throughout the article and discussion should a will be a deep thought of literary meaning.

“Not bad,” replied Gabby, who had thrown her bag up on the counter and was trying to fish out a lighter, “just got off!” Both of her stockings had a run in them and flicks of discarded food stuck to the sides of her tennis shoes. Her dress was black and sparkling. Vernon could tell she worked at another diner the moment she got out of the cab. The waitress flipped over an empty cup and poured out what was leftover of the coffee. Gabby had lite her cigarette, inhaled a drag, took a sip, and exhaled out a thick cloud of smoke in one single breath. “Ended up pulling a double?” The swirls in the smoke seemed to actuate Gaby's words. “Don’t remind me!” replied the waitress, who had removed one of her flats and was rubbing her heel, “I’ve been on and off my feet since 9:30 this morning.” Gabby looked towards the front of the diner at the back of Vernon’s head and then back at the waitress. “Rough night?” “Nope,” replied the waitress, “he’s been coming in here late for the last month or so, keeps to himself.” They both could see that Vernon was moving his hands while he was talking to himself. “We still on for tonight,” asked Gabby. “Maybe,” said the waitress, “as long we can get a table.” The band aids on the back of her heels needed to be replaced with new ones. Gabby

but for some reason he is still depressed and can’t stop drinking. He has been seeing his psychologist for a few months now, but not much has changed. He still stays up late drinking, and doesn’t remember much of the last night in the morning. He decides that therapy is really becoming a waste of his time, and goes to break it off. He is talking, and all of the sudden Dr. Smith says the hour is up. While he is leaving Dr. Smith asks Bob if he ever knew a Tommy. When Bob says no, Dr. Smith goes on to explain that a very angry person named Tommy had emerged inside of him.

Then Toddy arrives and sees Victoria, the woman he saw that same morning in the bar. When he entered, he sat at a table near her and ordered a coffee. As soon as he could, he approached her and kissed her hand as a sign of greeting and that it is a pleasure to meet her. They started talking and she invited him to eat with her. They talked about them and the food of the restaurant and now is when she comments that she has a cockroach in her purse and plans to put it in her salad to avoid paying the bill and leave, but he says that that would not work in a restaurant of prestige and class like that one. She ends up opening her purse and throwing the cockroach to the salad. At that moment, the waiter comes and asks if everything is fine and Toddy asks for more wine. When the waiter returns, the cockroach gets off and walks by her hand, she jumps from the chair, frightened and disgusted, and pushes the waiter causing a scandal for the other clients. The two complain about the restaurant service with the waiter and Toddy asks to see the manager. The manager comes and she explains the situation which ends up favoring her but not Toddy since he had to pay his own. In the end, another woman shouted when she felt the cockroach walk down his leg and at that moment, Toddy and Victoria took advantage and escaped without both paying one of the bills for what they had

The murder of Skylar Neese was a case that shocked the entire nation. It was a case of betrayal and heartbreak that once solved brought about more questions than it did answers and left a cloak of fear over the town and citizens of Sky City, West Virginia. July 6, 2012 was a night no one in the town would have ever imagined possible or could ever forget. Skylar Neese was just an average sixteen-year-old girl who believed she was going out for a night of fun; that quickly turned south as she was attacked and stabbed to death by her two best friends, Sheila and Rachel. They were also sixteen-year-old girls whom defied all gender norms as they crossed the line from innocent female high school students to murderers. This paper will analyze the

Nonetheless, the disclosure that surrounds the rape of the woman does not break away from the customary views on violence especially towards women. In the entire movie, women are depicted and viewed as extremely traditional and passive. They are supposed to follow whatever is required from them. Gender through the movie exists in the similar way through which race exists. The society in the movie is largely patriarchy, and gender is unconsciously used for the purpose of justifying oppression and patriarchal

In the story of The Bloody Chamber, Angela Carter attacks the conventional gender roles of women. The conventional Gothic plot revolves around pursuit. A young heroine’s virtuous virginity, purity and innocence is sexually threatened. Thus, what Carter does in “The Bloody Chamber” is redefine female desire and sexuality which are rendered passive and repressed through traditional Gothic texts. Where the mother exemplifies the heroic woman, the “girl” is the traditional damsel in distress. Maria Makinen’s assessment of Carters feminine characters is both truthful and incorrect. Carter uses traditional female stereotypes as well as her unique women to make a contrast between these perceptions of women.
