Literature
The eternal conflict that arises classical and modern literature for years and is a concept still misunderstood and false nature of men and women. Many authors have tried to analyze the problem of mutual trust and equality between the sexes, but most of these texts reflect the growing anger and discontent with the representatives of both sexes were facing. The stories of Anton Chekhov, Chopin, Kate and Charlotte Perkins Gilman questioned the positions in which women are captured by society or by their husbands.
“Lady with the Dog” by Chekhov is a polemical work that feelings not only on the desperation of a woman, but also the man on the situation in which it finds in history is clearly a woman fleeing from her current life in sunny Yalta. In moments of distress after being with another man, Anna yells, “I looked for contempt, not to justify myself. It is not my husband, but I cheated, but not to him but, as was thought and belief. She is not happy their marriage. Anna is not blaming anyone as you know it’s his fault that he was lying to herself because it was good for the rest of society of that time to be married to a person without love and mutual respect. He realized that happiness does not depend on her husband, who was trying to find herself and when Dimitri faced in concrete walls of the traditional society. It was difficult, if not impossible to break, and Dimitri had children and work responsibilities has been ordered to stay where they are even intended to be unhappy. The story is simple and complicated, there is no happiness for Anna because she does not listen to her heart once, but there is no possibility that in the future, that the rules of society is not considering the wishes of her heart. Both were depressed, but none of them was strong enough to change anything in particular, Anna, a young woman reliable.
“The Yellow Wall-Paper” The story is a tragic example of a woman who does not make sense to existence. A young woman is very weak physically held by a large suburban house. Ironically, the husband is a doctor, but has no power to make her feel better, it seems clear from the outset that the problem of women is far from simple physical but psychological. As the story unfolds we see that there are no visible reasons for you to be unhappy, and why those reasons are hidden deep in his heart and under the model of the yellow wallpaper in the bedroom. “I came, at last, I said,” although you and Jane! And I got most of the paper, so you can put back! “These are the last words of the story that reveals the secret of a mysterious woman crawling on the wall of paper. This poor soul is the same woman who was trying to remove the internal pressure of the dictatorship sweet and loving husband. He suffered his inability to express herself, so she is crazy, strange for a modern reader now. The brutal truth of the world was what I wanted to know and desire to live a real life and has been refined hoped that when he retired in wallpaper walls.
Kate Chopin was another woman who was dealing with the rights and possibilities of you. In his story “History of now” we see a woman in mourning, which is unable to understand the strange feeling inside, as it was not desperate for her late husband. Later he understands what has been and “said over and over again in a low voice:” free, free, free! “Do not believe her strength and courage to think even these thoughts and say aloud, even to herself. The contrast of death and darkness are opposed to the happiness of a new life possible for her emphasis on the existence how incredibly unhappy the player was with her husband. prevents Miss sarcastic writer to really enjoy their freedom because her “husband came home late as alive as could be. Nothing else would talk about this episode in the situation of women in the writer second, because women in society are always controlled by men.
The three episodes in the lives of three young people from different countries with different destinations are very similar, as they are united by shared grief. All are unhappy in their marriage and try to go out and find something better in life, but only have more heart problems and see no way out. Their pain comes from deep within his heart the desire to understand themselves better and live according to their own will. Their desire does not match that of society and yet offers no solution to your problem, causing one of them dies, one goes crazy and another to suffer in silence forever.
