Angela Vicario dishonors her family by marrying another man when she had already slept with another man. A woman sleeping with another man before getting married is considered as a taboo and therefore as a consequence, a family loses its honor in the society. In order for the Vicario Brothers to restore this honor and clear their Sister’s name, they are supposed to kill Santiago Nasar since he is the one who took away her virginity. In the Stranger Meursult is condemned to death by the society for not only killing the “Arab” but also for not showing emotions at his mother’s funeral. Women are portrayed as sex symbols in which the reader finds quite devastating.
This quote is a paradox because while reading this the reader can apprehend that the unintended meeting was not as bad as it should have been. The one thing that is keeping the true lovers apart is the family feud (Montague’s and the Capulet’s) that’s been going on for many years. But Romeo and Juliet don’t care and later on they go against their families and get married. Tybat (Juliet’s cousin) was killed and Juliet’s parents think that it was the reason she committed suicide. As soon as the nurse finds out that Tybalt is dead her reaction is very troubling and she doesn’t exactly know how to break it to Juliet so at the end result she says, “Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banished; Romeo that kill’d him, he is banished.” (3.2.69-70).
Even though she has feelings for the other partner, she is still willing to leave her husband to be with him. For instance, she quotes, “Perchance in rage, he’ll kill me, I care not, twas for you. Say I incur The general name of villain through the world, of traitor to my friend; I care not, I” In this quote, the woman is telling her lover that she doesn’t care for him and that if she was to be with him, she will be labeled as a villain. Clearly, the secret lover had fallen in love with the married woman, but he was only a temporary spark for her. Not only does the poem provide the audience with tension between love and infatuation, but love vs. insanity as well.

She blamed herself for his death as he committed suicide when she said to him that he “disgust[s]” her after she found him having an affair with another man. She reported having reoccurring flashbacks that were stimulated by the sound of the Varsouviana Polka, the music the couple first danced to. His death stripped her of her innocence and prompted her mental descent towards the histrionic personality disorder according to the analysis of Dr. Daniels. Dr. Daniels also proposed that Blanche
The narrator’s insanity is caused by her husband, the treatment prescribed for her, and her obsession with the yellow wallpaper. One cause of the narrator’s insanity is the relationship between her and her husband. The narrator’s relationship with her husband is one of a father to daughter relationship. The narrator state, “John laughed at me but of course, one expects that in marriage” (Gilman 746). She is forced to live as a young child would live.
However, Sophocles left the impression also that the plethora of individuals that surrounded King Oedipus played a major role into his demise; whether directly or indirectly Jocasta his wife/mother greatly influenced the outcome of this play. Jocasta often portrayed throughout this play as being one that is bold, confident essentially a strong willed character. However towards the end of this play the reader comes to a shocking event as she is found dead as a result of suicide which too many show the ultimate sign of weakness. Which leaves the reader scratching he/she head, how can such a presumably strong character exhibit such a great deal of weakness. Was Jocasta truly as strong as she was portrayed?
So every time Blanche gets sad or feels depressed she remembers her husband and hears the music. Blanche remembers her dead husband because she blames herself for his death. She blames herself because right before Allen committed suicide she told him that “he disgusts her.” She tells him that because she catches Allen with another man. At first she acts like it didn’t bother her and offers to go dancing but when they were dancing to the Polka music she tells him that he disgusts her and a moment after we hear a gun shot. Allen committed suicide because Blanche mentioned those words to him.
(Barnet, Burman, Burto, and Cain, 2007, p. 566). The way she talks about her father creates a sense of fear and a strong feeling of military authority. Her suicide attempt didn't work so she "made a model" of her father by marrying a man who reminded her of him and filled the hole he had left in her life when he died. She notes how, at the age of twenty, she attempted suicide in order to be with her father again. "At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you."
Blanche’s intimacies created her downfall as they weren’t permanent. After Blanches husband committed suicide Blanche was alone and felt the need to be intimate with many men so that she wouldn’t be alone, she thought that the men were helping to detach herself from the horrors of her life and stop herself from acknowledging her guilt from her husband’s suicide; Critic Kathleen Margaret Lant claims ‘Williams does consider Blanche guilty for not saving her husband from his
