Phelps Stokes” has long been a favorite of mine: jaunty and self- assured, Mrs. Phelps Stokes seems to step forward to greet me, some wry observation on her lips, and invite me for an energetic walk. She so dominates the viewer’s focus, clad in her dazzling white skirt and just fractionally off center within the picture’s frame, that one may forget that this is a double portrait, a portrait of a married couple, a Mrs. and Mr. Indeed, the painting’s title seems extraordinarily out of kilter with the representation it captions: Mr. Phelps Stokes seems a late arrival to the portrait session, sneaking behind his wife and into her shadow, his neutral-toned suit blending in to the background, his body partially out of frame or hidden by the Mrs. whose fashionable boater becomes a modern day fig leaf. What can it mean? How do the painting’s for- mal elements tug against that conventionally realized idea of “Mr. and Mrs.? Against the fundamental meaning and purpose of the coordinat- ing conjunction “and?” One of the most difficult concepts to address in the seminar on Marriage and Literary Form is the notion that form--textual “architecture”--conveys meaning in and of itself, meaning that supplements considerations generated by plot, character, setting, etc. In the painting of the Stokes Phelps, the social and legal conventions govern- ing marriage and a historical tradition of marriage portraiture are challenged by Sargent’s use of space, perspective and contrast—formal attributes akin to those authors deploy in developing their representations. What does it mean, for instance, that Hawthorne provides three evenly distributed scaf- fold scenes in The Scarlett Letter? What does it mean when Austen substitutes a series of walks in the second half of Pride and Prejudice for the dances that punctuated the first? Why does How- 5 ells nearly abandon the narrative principle of exposition in A Modern Instance, jumping almost immediately into the betrothal of his main characters--an action that generally caps the trajectory of the marriage plot rather than begins it. “Reading” form is a tricky endeavor, but one that amply rewards the effort. The essays in Behind the Veil: Inspecting and Interrogating Marriage in the Form of Fiction reflect the parallel interest that the students in the Spring 2015 Senior Seminar had with marriage plots from both the center and the margins of literary and social tradition. Their engagement with often thorny structural issues as a path to meaning in the novels, films, and television shows about which they wrote not only elevates their analyses of these texts, but also demonstrates that the fruitful “mar- riage” between form and content endures. Dr. Debra MacComb May 2015 6 Senior Seminar, Spring 2015 • • Going, Going, Gone CAROL EATON is in the final stages of a 30 year old Bachelor of Arts in English. On the way to her degree she has managed bookstores and movie theatres and has a great collection of stories she would like to write down one day. Did you know they save popcorn overnight? She has worked the last 16 years in a law library and can practically recite portions of the Constitution. Frankly, My Dear, I Don’t Give a Damn: Scarlett O’Hara’s Battle Against Traditional Southern Gender Roles During the Civil War Era in the Film Gone with the Wind by Carolyn Eaton • • I wish to Heaven I was married, she said resentfully as she attacked the yams with loathing. I’m tired of everlastingly being unnatural and never doing anything I want to do. I’m tired of acting like I don’t eat more than a bird, and walking when I want to run and saying I feel faint after a waltz, when I could dance for two days and never get tired. I’m tired of saying, ‘How wonderful you are!’ to fool men who haven’t got one-half the sense I’ve got, and I’m tired of pretending I don’t know anything, so men can tell me things and feel important while they’re doing it . I can’t eat another bite. Scarlett O’Hara, Gone with the Wind ebster’s Dictionary defines marriage as the “state of being united Wto a person of the opposite or same sex in a consensual and con- tractual relationship recognized by law” (761). Interestingly enough the word love is not found in two major definitions of marriage. Joseph Al- len Boone states that “the marriage rite in almost all cultures plays a central role in sustaining a structured social order” (36). In the movie adaptation of Gone with the Wind, Scarlett O’Hara embodies the Web- ster’s definition by marrying three men, consensually and contractually with no thought of love. She uses her second and third marriages to pre- serve her status through financial security. But what does that say about Scarlett? Is she a person who is devoid of love or simply someone who does not understand it? It can be argued that Gone with the Wind is a love story; however, it is more a testament to what marriage means to 9 one person and a lesson in how inner strength and obsession can cause one to overlook love. It becomes a bildungsroman as Scarlett moves from a child’s infatuation with the unattainable to the understanding of a woman’s love for someone who is her perfect match. Scarlett uses her marriages to express her frustration with her situation and as a way to acquire things that she is unable to accomplish as a single woman. The Civil War allows Scarlett the opportunity to become a powerful woman in business and she uses her marriages to further her ability to move beyond the traditional gender roles in the Civil War era. Scar- lett fought against the genteel Southern woman role that was expected. She fought against eating like a bird, and never having an opinion. She fought what she felt was against her nature and the Civil War gave her the ability to step beyond the Southern belle. During the pre-Civil War period, young women and men were “expected to acquire funds to establish their own independent house- hold” prior to marrying (Hacker 2). For women, this meant finding a rich man to marry. This structure was inherent during Scarlett’s time. Being married was necessary to maintain the ways of the Old South. Scarlett O’Hara is not like all the other Southern Belles. Scarlett at the beginning of the movie shows little interest in anything other than flirt- ing. While Margaret Mitchell’s book gave us an in depth look into the mind of Scarlett, the movie gives viewers an abbreviated view. While everyone around her wants to talk about the War, she doesn’t want to hear about it. When everyone else dresses properly, she wants to wear something that “shows her bosom before three o’clock.” When everyone else is taking a nap, she is in the library throwing herself at Ashley Wil- kes. Her nature is willful and she conducts herself in a way that battles against the traditional gender roles of her time. When she learns that Ashley is to marry Melanie Hamilton, she confronts him and declares her love. Much to her dismay he cannot be dissuaded from his course and Ashley tells Scarlett that she is “so young and unthinking that [she doesn’t] know what marriage means.” This statement draws our atten- tion to Scarlett’s youth and ignorance in the ways of relationships. In her mind, she is in love with Ashley because he fits into the structured order of the Old South. As a representative of the romantic values of Southern society, he stands for everything with which she is familiar. She sees Ashley as the choice to secure her future and refuses to believe that he could love someone like Melanie.

NEIL CARSON UNIVERSITY OF LONDON WESTFIELD COLLEGE I)IN 1 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an attempt to describe the characteristics of Thomas Heywood's dramatic style. The study is divided into three parts. The first deals with the playwright's theatrical career and discusses how his practical experience as actor and sharer might have affected his technique as a dramatic writer. The second part defines the scope of the investigation and contains the bulk of the analysis of Heywood's plays. My approach to the mechanics of playwriting is both practical and theoretical. I have attempted to come to an understanding of the technicalities of Heywood's craftsmanship by studying the changes he made in Sir Thomas Moore and in the sources he used for his plays. At the same time, I have tried to comprehend the aesthetic framework within which he worked by referring to the critical ideas of the period and especially to opinions expressed by Heywood him- self in An Apology for Actors and elsewhere.

    CONTEMPORARY REPRESENTATIONS OF MARRIAGE IN LITERATURE AND POP CULTURE by Taylor Muller Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of English Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas May 2, 2014 ii CONTEMPORARY REPRESENTATIONS OF MARRIAGE IN LITERATURE AND POP CULTURE Project Approved: Supervising Professor: Ariane Balizet, Ph.D. Department of English Carrie Leverenz, Ph.D. Department of English Sharon Fairchild, Ph.D. Department of Modern Language Studies iii ABSTRACT This research examines the representations of marriage in the novels The Marriage Plot and Gone Girl, reality television shows including Say Yes to the Dress, Four Weddings, and The Bachelor, and social media websites such as Pinterest. The analysis focuses on how these contemporary representations demonstrate normative gender roles, and what claims they make about marriage today. Several patterns emerged when using in particular the theories of Judith Butler and Frances Dolan as a framework for understanding the portrayals of marriage. The depictions of marriage included individuals adopting some sort of role-performance, often gender specific, and reiterated the conflict for power in marriage between the two parties. These were magnified in the dramatization of real life, such as reality television shows, and frequently reiterated traditional understandings of marriage within a modern context. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION...............................................................................................................1

In the interim, warriors who were called Judges emerged as the leaders when needed. In the book of Judges, one finds the first attempt to explain history through Deuteronomist glasses, and therefore this and the rest of the history books are assumed to be written by “the Deuteronomic Historians.” Some stories are very short while others are long with many details.

  • The Hitman's Bodyguard
    THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD ABOUT THE PRODUCTION “I have a job for you …” -- Agent Amelia Roussel Nearly everybody the notoriously lethal hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson) has ever met across the globe want him dead – but that’s only if Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds), the vigilant bodyguard recruited to protect him at all costs, doesn’t shoot him out of sheer infuriation first. The hair-triggering rivalry and potential joining of forces between a high-flying, Triple-A rated hired gun and a protection specialist results in an outrageous, fast-paced action comedy that twists and twines the hitman thriller, the bodyguard romance and the odd-couple buddy comedy into one irreverently fun ride. Featuring a hilarious “bromance” between blockbuster stars Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, creatively choreographed fight scenes and exhilarating high-speed chases THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD offers a non-stop mashup of laughs and outrageous action. The wild chase begins when Interpol strikes a risky deal with a newly captured Kincaid: if he agrees to be a star witness against the bloodthirsty Belarusian tyrant Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman) in the International Criminal Court, they’ll free Kincaid’s cherished, and not-to-be-trifled with, wife Sonia (Salma Hayek) from jail. There’s just one problem: Interpol has only 24 hours to transport Kincaid from the North of England to The Hague – knowing full well that cutthroats and assassins will be lying in wait to hit the hitman the entire way to Holland. Things go wrong right off the bat, as Interpol Agent Amelia Roussel (Elodie Yung) leads the prison convoy transporting Kincaid into an ambush.
