I did my second paper on the social problem of women being to dependent on men. I used the book Northanger Abbey and the Twilight series to show this issue. I'm
going to compare the role of the two main actresses Bella and Catherine. One of
the parts I am going to use for Bella is when Edward leaves her in New Moon. I used this because of how much she lets it affect her life. She becomes very
depressed and shuts everyone out.This is very unhealthy for women to do and is a
problem. Here is a clip of Bella from new moon to show how depressed she was.

I also did my paper on girls being dependent on men, and I think you are right about her letting it affect her life too much when Edward leaves in New Moon. Nobody should be that dependent on somebody even if it is said to be out of love.
ReplyDeleteI didn't do this but it was a great idea. Too many women today let themselves completely change just for a boy. I know I used to do it and now it's just a sign of immaturity. Catherine and Bella both let boys control their lives and that was all they thought about. Catherine would have a terrible time when Mr. Tilney wasn't there, and him being there was all she was looking forward to. And Bella can't go a single hour without seeing Edward. She makes him stay everynight with her when they are supposed to still be in high school.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Bella let it affect her life way too much. He left and she shouldn't have just sat around and waited for him.
