Toni Morisson's 'Beloved' and Sherley Ann Williams' 'Dessa Rose' / Motherhood & Maternalism

A 5 page paper comparing and contrasting the protagonists' ability to assume the responsibilities of motherhood.

Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' Nella Larsen's 'Passing' And Ann Petry's 'The Street': Marriage
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' Nella Larsen's 'Passing' and Ann Petry's 'The Street' all address the issue of marriage in very different ways. While all three stories speak about the bonds of matrimony in one way or another, it is not actually the marriage, in and of itself, upon which the tales focus. Rather, each author carefully yet quite effectively touches upon marriage, its meaning within the social backdrop, as well as the requirements necessary to maintain its existence; however, these stories delve much deeper into the aspect of marriage than what merely resides on the surface. It is through intense character examination that the reader is able to see beyond the marital façade to a more realistic place where the authors' protagonists inevitably dwell. The writer discusses the importance marriage plays in each one. No additional sources cited.
