Marital Relationships as Portrayed in the Short Stories...

Love As A Battlefield Love has always been complicated. Whether you were married in 1700 or 2012, there are many things well just never understand. But what if you were married in the late 1800s to the early 1900s? I believe Mrs. Louise Mallard and Jeanne can both agree that it was not easy. The short story â€Å"The Story of An Hour† and the drama â€Å"Im Going† will show that being a wife in that era was not all about passion and perfect families, but about control and dominance. Although the stories were written during two different time periods, the modern period and the Victorian period, there were still many similarities in both relationships. Each story centered itself around a woman†¦show more content†¦Louise has an epiphany, a profound personal discovery that a character suddenly makes-which conveys the meaning of the story (Clugston, 2010.), when she sits alone in her room and realize that her husbands death means that she is finally going to be free and that she w ill be able to be an independent woman for once in her life. â€Å"Im Going† grabbed the readers attention at approximately line 14, when Henri is confused at why Jeanne is finally agreeing to let him go to the races. It is at that point that the reader realizes that Henri is an insecure, controlling husband. In contrast, these pieces of literature were written in two different time periods. â€Å"Im Going† was written in the Modern Period, while â€Å"The Story of An Hour† was written during the Victorian Period. The modern period was a time of significant developments, some of which included science, politics, warfare, and technology (Wikipedia.) During this time period there was a lot of rapid change and can be tied to the development of individualism, capitalism, and urbanization. I believe that individualism played a key role in this time period when it comes to the theme of the drama â€Å"Im Going† because it brought about moral stance, polit ical philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that stresses â€Å"the moral worth of the individual (Wikipedia.)† Although Henri ultimately won the battle,Show MoreRelatedDeveloping Management Skills404131 Words   |  1617 PagesPreface xvii Introduction 1 PART I 1 2 3 PERSONAL SKILLS 44 Developing Self-Awareness 45 Managing Personal Stress 105 Solving Problems Analytically and Creatively 167 PART II 4 5 6 7 INTERPERSONAL SKILLS 232 233 Building Relationships by Communicating Supportively Gaining Power and Influence 279 Motivating Others 323 Managing Conflict 373 PART III GROUP SKILLS 438 8 Empowering and Delegating 439 9 Building Effective Teams and Teamwork 489 10 Leading Positive ChangeRead MoreStephen P.

The actual operation of a library or information center follows no precise linear pattern. Most managerial functions progress simultaneously; they do not exist in a hierarchical relationship. For instance, budgeting is not likely to be reflective of the enterprise’s success without some measure of planning in which goals and objectives are established. Therefore, management cannot be viewed as a rigid system, and the concepts discussed
