Thus, the women’s faces both influence and reflect their true moral character.Īdditionally, the god’s refusal to allow Psyche to see his face acts as a test of her loyalty. This undoubtedly makes her bitter against the world and leads her to cling destructively to those who do love her, filling with jealousy whenever she perceives any threat to that love. Orual, on the other hand, has always been told that she’s too ugly to love, and that she’ll never be able to marry. Psyche has always been adored for her beauty, so she has no reason to hate those around her or to seek love as jealously as Orual does. At the same time, it’s difficult to say whether the women’s essential characters exist from birth or result from the responses to their physical appearances. Furthermore, when she sees the face of Ungit on herself, she begins to realize that it shows she has lived a life of devouring the people around her for her own benefit. Orual’s face, on the other hand, is horribly ugly, as her moral tendencies also prove to be. ![]() Psyche’s moral perfection is reflected in her stunningly beautiful face.

He's a former boxer who is now something of an enforcer, working to eliminate the duke's many debts. Less than a page in, the visible marks of patriarchal power-expensive clothing, "patrician features"-are irrevocably undermined. The untutored observer, Hugo thought, was an idiot. Compared with Hugo's own unprepossessing expression and sandy brown hair, the untutored observer would have concluded that the duke was in charge. his patrician features were sharp and aristocratic. The book opens with a description of two men, one of them a duke, and the other, our hero:Īn untutored observer would focus on the Duke of Clermont, apparently in full command. To balance things out, I kept an eye out for positive examples of romances with feminist leanings - and now I'm thrilled to say that Courtney Milan's The Governess Affair has a strongly feminist subtext based around power, money, consent, and women's autonomy. After the Vicki Essex review and the feminist heroine fiasco, I've been feeling like many of my latest posts have come down on the negative side of the critical spectrum. ![]() ![]() ![]() The only problem is, Cyrus hates Violet and wants nothing more than to rid the kingdom of her visions.

Originally found on the streets, Violet is raised in the palace alongside the prince and princess. Violet holds a powerful position as the kingdom’s seer. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately for me, it missed every shot it took. The book needed more ruthlessness, more scheming, and more stakes to make the story’s dark prophecy hit where it hurts. Violet Made Of Thorns by Gina Chen appeared delectable, but when it came time for the main course, the server dropped my plate before I could enjoy the meal. ![]() ![]() ![]() What could terrify grown alphas?

NBCUniversal's Film Slate Steps Into Spotlight During Company's Upfronts Pitch ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On it the evasion is understood as an allegory about US race relations during the 20-year period from the end of the US Civil War to the publication of AHF. I rely on an interpretation of AHF that is influential in literary scholarship. This lesson concerns the importance of conscious moral deliberation for moral guidance and for overcoming wrongful moral assumptions. I extract a different philosophical lesson from AHF than either Bennett or Arpaly, which makes sense of the presence of the evasion in AHF. ![]() During the evasion Huck behaves in ways that are extremely difficult to reconcile with the interpretations of AHF offered by Bennett and Arpaly. This becomes particularly apparent when we consider the final part of the book, commonly referred to, by literary scholars, as 'the evasion'. Here I argue that the lessons that Bennett and Arpaly draw are not supported by a careful reading of AHF. Two of these philosophers stand out, in terms of influence: Jonathan Bennett and Nomy Arpaly. ![]() Huck Finn's struggles with his conscience, as depicted in Mark Twain's famous novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (AHF) (1884), have been much discussed by philosophers and various philosophical lessons have been extracted from Twain's depiction of those struggles. ![]() |
