Fate vs Free Will of Woman
In all three literary works, the debate between fate vs. free will is a reoccurring theme.
Antigone
"But I will bury him; if I must die, I say that the crime is holy: I shall lie down with him in death, and I shall be as dear to him as he is to me"
Antigone
"Leave me my foolish plan: I am not afraid of the danger; if it means death, It will not be the worst of deaths- death without honor"
Antigone
"That must be your excuse, I suppose. But as for me, I will bury the brother I love"
My pictures represents that Antigone died for the love of her brother. She was not afraid she was brave and couragous.
The Story of An Hour
"great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death"
The Story of An Hour
"She wept at once, with sudden, wild abondonment, her sister's arms"
The Story of An Hour
"Someone was opening the front door with a latchkey. It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained, composedly carrying his grip-sack and umbrella"
My pictures represent that the girl was heartbroken that her husband was in a car accident but when he came home unharmed she was in so much shock she died.
The Yellow Wallpaper
"At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candlelight, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be"
The Yellow Wallpaper
"I've got out at last," said I, "in spite of you and Jane. And I've pulled off most of the paper, so you can't put me back!"
The Yellow Wallpaper
"Sometimes I think there are a great many women behind, and sometimes only one, and she crawls around fast, and her crawling shakes it all over."
These pictures represent that the girl and the yellow wall paper was crazy and that she was once normal but her fate was that since her husband locked her up she was going to end up crazy.
