Men
A Hate Song

I hate Men
They irritate me.

There are serious Thinkers—
There ought to be a law against them.
They see life, as through shell-rimmed glasses darkly.
They are always drawing their weary hands
Across their wan brows.
They talk about Humanity
As if they had just invented it;
They have to keep helping it along.
They revel in strikes
And they are eternally getting up petitions.
They are doing a wonderful thing for the Great Unwashed—
They are living right down among them.
They can hardly wait
For “The Masses” to appear on the newsstands,
And they read all those Russian novels—
The sex best sellers.

II
There are Cave Men—
The Specimens of Red blooded Manhood.
They eat everything very rare,
They are scarcely ever out of their cold baths,
And they want everybody to feel their muscles.
They talk loud voices,
Using short Anglo-Saxon words.
They go around raising windows,
And they slap people on the back,
And tell them what they need is exercise.
They are always just on the point of walking to San Francisco,
Or crossing the ocean in a sailboat,
Or going through Russia on a sled—
I wish to God they would!
III
And then there are the Sensitive Souls
Who do interior decorating, for Art’s sake?
They always smell faintly of vanilla
And put drops of sandalwood on their cigarettes.
They are continually getting up costume balls
So that they can go
As something out of the “Arabian Nights.”
They give studio teas
Where people sit around on cushions
And wish they

Comparing Friar Laurence And Tybalt In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

play that I have studied is Romeo and Juliet. In this play, contrasting characters and emotions make most of the plot and huge conflicts. The two most obvious contrasting characters in this play are Friar Laurence and Tybalt. Men of high statuses with complete polar-opposite personalities and morals. From the beginning of the play, Tybalt was portrayed as an arrogant and aggressive man. Tybalt hates peace and anything to with it. ‘’What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word as I hate hell.’’…

Romeo And Juliet Gender Roles

This was the embodiment of what people associated with men at the time. It was the role of a male to display the aforementioned traits.

Mercutio talks to Romeo about love, telling him to "be rough with love"(I,4), "if love be rough with you"(I,4) and that he will "beat love down"(I,4) if he does so. Mercutio is essentially telling Romeo…

Muslim Women

2002) Although seeing women of the Muslim faith as victims can be viewed as being a better stereotype than as seeing them as a violent terrorist, both are negative stigmas that need to be erased from our modern society. With this information in mind, I present my question: how can the perception of Muslim women in the United States be adjusted to an appropriate medium? Altogether, an examination through the cultural and historical point of views will show the negative views of Muslim women on both…

Taming Of The Shrew And Petruchio's

this infamous text, particularly the film versions created in 1999 and 1967, have enabled contemporary viewers to access these overt messages of masculinity and feminity and to contextualise the events described by the bard in 1593. Yet, as a viewer, I found some of the deviations from the original play detracted from my perception of Shakespeare’s intent. Therefore, this presentation will attempt to expose the hidden messages underpinning the two film…
