Adam ENG 2110 April 18th, 2013 Hedda Gabler and “The Trapped Woman” in the 19th Century Appearances can be deceiving. Hedda Gabler, the great story of an aristocratic woman, smart, and somewhat off her rocker, takes us into the personal life of a woman by the married name of Hedda Tesmen. Through analysis and research of the story though, we can see the author is trying to show us something further from what it seems. Henrik Ibsen, the writer of Hedda Gabler, seems to not be telling us the

Stiva wakes up in his study and remembers that his wife is gravely upset at him after finding out he has an affair. Frankly, he is only regretful because he got caught: “He could not now be repentant that he, a thirty-four-year-old, handsome, amorous man, did not feel amorous with his wife, [...] [he] repented only that he had not managed to conceal things better from her. [...] Perhaps he would have managed to hide his sins better from his wife had he anticipated that the news would have such an

Michael Tajah Professor Morazzini Literature 101 9 May 2013 Where Does One Find Freedom? Some would say one is the freest when surrounded by family, but this is not the case for all. In The Story of an Hour, Kate Chopin writes about a character who feels happiest when she hears of her husband’s death. Many would say or think this is offal, but after one finds out, he oppressed her it is obvious why she is happy. This essay reminds me of the reason my father left Jamaica, for a better chance

A Married Woman’s Complex In 2012, the University of Chicago conducted a “well being” study and it was found that 97% of married people are “happily married”. If this study were conducted a century ago, 97% probably would have reported being unhappy in their marriage, the majority being women. These dutiful wives and repressed mothers were not allowed any personal or intellectual freedom. These oppressed, married women are the types of characters feminist author, Kate Chopin, revels in. During

what. I feel like the women were treated like children instead of wives. Men berated and belittled at home and in public on a daily basis. In the 1700 spousal abuse was legal and the “rule of thumb” which was when the husband had the right to hit his wife with anything smaller than the width of a thumb. In the 1800’s women were allowed to leave their husbands if they were being abused. It was not until the late 1900’s when women’s shelters began to pop up. It is more help in the United States then it
