In the novel The Hotel New Hampshire, John Irving sets the beginning of the story in 1955 where women are portrayed as innocent, vulnerable individuals suit for cleaning. As the Berry family is discussing how Mr. and Mrs. Berry met each other, John Berry, the narrator informs the audience of what his mother did as a job while working at a hotel, he states, “My mother was a chambermaid, although she dressed in her own clothes for serving dinner, and she helped serve cocktails under the tents to the lawn parties” (Irving, 5). It was common for women during the 1950s to be the one’s who clean wash clothes, and prepare dinner. Earlier, John mentions how education was also different for his mother, “My mother, who (being a girl) could never go to Dairy School, attended the private female seminary also in town” (6). Girls were not admitted into the school which John’s mother attended. The Dairy School, which is across from the family hotel had not yet accepted girls into the school, the time setting in the novel was now early nineteen fifties. While Chipper Dove is walking and steps in a pile of poop, he turns to another football player and demands that he cleans his shoe for him. The football player that was instructed to clean Dove’s shoe, Poindexter, shows resistant. Dove then rudely states to Poindexter,“‘They don’t have girls here yet, Poindexter,’ said the running back from Boston, ‘so there’s nobody but you to clean the shit off my shoes’” (51). It is clear to see that Dove’s words portray him as a person that believes girls are the one’s who are responsible for all of the dirty work, and the cleaning - of his nasty shoe. Later in the novel The Hotel New Hampshire, as the story progresses the date progresses dramatically. During the mid fifties of this novel, in the story the Dairy School, as previously mentioned above decided to admit girls into the school. The school did not want to admit girls into the school, but, “...the Dairy School realized it had to admit women to its student body, in order to survive, the Thompson Female Seminary was put out of business…. In 1955 Franny went to the Diary School; that was the first year women went there...” (66). Although the women were not necessarily wanted, they
The assigned readings provided an interesting view of the diverse groups of people who migrated to California during the Gold Rush in the late 1840s and early 1850s and how they impacted society. The primary sources shared detailed information of how Californian society was grew and developed new rules and regulations for mining operations. The sources also discussed how American pioneers and people from different countries shared their experiences during the Gold Rush. Equally important, as Californian society increased, many Yankee miners became concerned about the arrival of foreigners in California (Textbook, 201). California state legislators enforced the Miners' Licensee of 1850 and 1852 that required foreigners to purchase specific mining licenses in order for them to mine (Miners' Document, 33).

When Jody and Janie first arrive, there are few houses scattered around aimlessly. Jody sees that the people are not organized and so takes charge and builds the town up. Eatonville, just as West Florida, has the belief that women need a man to provide for and protect them. A woman’s place in Eatonville is in the house doing housework, never doing anything physical. Jody even remarks about Janie, “‘She’s uh woman and her place is in de home’” (Hurston 58). They are not expected to think anything for themselves, and instead are told what to think by their husband. They are expected to cook, clean, and present themselves in a fashionable manner for the men of the

She is the typical woman desired by men, a woman who is a “perfect and enthusiastic housekeeper”(634) who “hopes for no better profession”(634). Jennie is everything that the narrator is not. As time passes at the colonial mansion, she replaces, and diminishes John’s wife “who now sees to everything”(634). It is apparent that a comment is being made on how yielding Jennie’s character is as opposed to that of the narrator, for she is the one who chooses to stoop down to such humiliation, while the narrator attempts to escape submission to such treatment.
352). In today’s society there are no rules that prevent a person from doing all their laundry in the same day. A majority of people have probably learned from their parents or from experience that it doesn’t work so well if you wash whites and darks together; otherwise stating there are no instructions that come along with the task of laundry. In Kincaid’s (2011) story “Girl” the reader gathers the idea from the tone of the text, as it is the women’s role to do the laundry; whereas, in today’s society it is not always the woman completing the task of laundry. In some families, more often than less the women and men share the responsibility of doing laundry. In viewing the story “Girl” from a feminist perspective, another occurrence of gender roles would be the narrator’s statement “soak salt water fish overnight before you cook it” (Kincaid, 2011, p. 352). In the society that the story takes place, it is the woman’s responsibility to cook, compared to the twentieth century family, the meals may be prepared by every member of the family. Prior to the feminist laws women were treated with little to no respect for the things that they were expected to accomplish on a daily basis. In the era the story is written, women were often wives, housekeepers, cooks, and teachers. “This is how you iron your father’s khaki shirt so that it doesn’t have a crease; this is how you iron your father’s khaki pants so that they don’t have a crease,” and “this is how you sweep a

The poem “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid is a lengthy poem describing society and the social structure in the early 50’s from what it sounds. The short story “Girl,” deals with the experience of being young and female in a poor country. This poem describes a time when stereotypical gender roles where a huge part of society women had duties that only women could do such as clean, cook, wash clothing, watch the children and ect. And the men were head of the house hold and preserved as high and mighty, the untouchables by women and children. “This is how you iron your father 's khaki shirt so that it doesn 't have a crease; this is how you iron your father 's khaki pants so that they don 't have a crease;”(Kincaid) is an example of how the poem spells out how the women are supposed to cater to men, how to act in public settings and a variety of other things women were “meant to do” or as ordered by men.

The narration of the mother lecturing her daughter with commanding diction leads to the theme of women conforming to domesticity and if they don’t conform then they will lead a life of promiscuity that will affect the way people perceive them. Women in the past believed that a woman’s role was that of a domesticated housewife. The narration of the third point of view in this story and the commanding diction of it places an importance in the reinforcement of this idea, that if a woman doesn’t follow social norms, she will eventually turn to a “slut” one that her family will be ashamed of. She must set the table for lunch and for breakfast that is “how to behave in the presence of men who don’t know [her] very well, and that it the way they won’t recognize immediately the slut that [the mother has] warned her against becoming.”(Kincaid 485) through her commanding diction, the mother is telling her daughter how to set a table, how to cook, she

On the other hand, William Shakespeare illuminates Othello’s tragic flaw for comparison. Iago begins the play and states that he hates Othello, but he deceives Othello into the belief that he thinks highly of him and wants to tell him the truth. Therefore, Othello thinks Iago “is of honesty and trust” (Shakespeare Othello, the Moor of Venice 1.3.281). Othello trusts Iago, and Iago adopts his trust to take advantage of him. Furthermore, Iago exploits Othello’s overly trusting nature to raise his reputation and gain a title as Lieutenant. Othello and Macbeth put their faith in people and believe that their future seems secure; thus, they attain what they want. After Othello demotes Cassio, Iago tells Cassio to ask for Desdemona’s help to gain
