Discussion Analysis

The intent of the discussion was not very clear because not all of the group members were prepared for it. Most of them manifested that even if they read about what the topic, they did not think about it, nor about what they agreed or disagreed.

Two members who were very well prepared and enthusiastic about it were the ones taking a leading attitude in the discussion. The rest seemed that they just knew about it, but they were hoping the rest would do the ...

It is believed by many scholars like Ellen Moers, who wrote Female Gothic: The Monster’s Mother that when Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly wrote Frankenstein, she wrote the story as a reflection of her own fears and issues with parenting. I also think that Shelley may have felt that her offspring were somehow against the laws of nature and that this is why most of them died at birth or in early infancy. Where Victor only had created life from the confines of death, she herself brought death from what should have been life. This of course was no fault ...

Ibsen exposes the life experiences of his main female character Nora to show the way patriarchal societies deprive women their freedom by suppressing their views, treating them like children, and through repressive gender roles.

It is apparent that when a person’s freedom is limited either by choice or by chance, one is not able to establish a relationship based on equality with a partner or other people within the society. The author provides ...
