    Confronted Patriarchy in Sylvia Plath's Poems

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by TEFLIN (Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Indonesia) Journal (State University... CONFRONTED PATRIARCHY IN SYLVIA PLATH'S POEMS Kukuh Prayitno Subagyo Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia Abstract: The American literary canons, mainly those of the nineteen fifties and the nineteen sixties, had consistently portrayed women as subservient citizens. Women in the American culture had been put under men s domina- tion and thus lost their identity and been unable to determine their own fate. They played roles long prescribed by men, both in the home and in their so- cial milieu. As products of the era, a number of Sylvia Plath s poems depict confrontation against this phenomenon of patriarchy in which women have been inferior to and abused by men; they fight for freedom and to regain their true roles as women and human beings. Key words: the American literary canons, patriarchy, Sylvia Plath s poems The American nineteen fifties and sixties have witnessed the advent of literary works portraying women s struggle for liberation, the so-called Women s Movement, whose members turned out to be assertive activists struggling for the sake of their fellow woman citizens. The Women s Movement for libera- tion gained its momentum during these decades, and continued to color the lit- erary works of all genres even in the ensuing years. In fact, such woman- related themes as feminism, women studies, and women s emancipation have dominated not only the American literary genres but those of the world as well beyond the turn of the second millennium.
  • Origins of Valentine's Day

    Origins of Valentine's Day

    Origins of Valentine's Day Various Authors CHURCH OF GOD ARCHIVES Origins of Valentine's Day Valentine's Day - Christian Custom or Pagan Pageantry? by Herman L Hoeh "Will you be my valentine?" That question is asked by millions about this time of year. Why? Is there any religious significance to February 14? Where did St. Valentine's Day come from? You might suppose schoolteachers and educators would know. But do they? How many of you were ever taught the real origin of Valentine's Day — were ever told in school exactly why you should observe the custom of exchanging valentines? Teachers are all too often silent about the origin of the customs they are forced to teach in today's schools. If they were to speak out, many would lose their jobs! Today, candy makers unload tons of heart-shaped red boxes for February 14 — St. Valentine's Day — while millions of the younger set exchange valentines. Florists consider February 14 as one of their best business days. And young lovers pair off – at least for a dance or two — at St. Valentine's balls. Why? Where did these customs originate? How did we come to inherit these customs? Isn't it time we examined why we encourage our children to celebrate St. Valentine's Day? A Christian custom? Many have assumed that the traditional Valentine's Day celebrations are all in connection with an early Christian martyr by the name of Valentine. Nothing could be further from the truth! Notice what one encyclopedia says about this idea: "St.

    The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-Shrine | 201

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot 142 (2012), 201–244 THE KILMICHAEL GLASSARY BELL-SHRINE | 201 The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine David H Caldwell*, Susy Kirk†, Gilbert Márkus‡, Jim Tate§ and Sharon Webb ǁ ABSTRACT The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine is one of the treasures of National Museums Scotland. This paper reassesses the circumstances of its discovery, its context and importance, and its role as a relic of a saint, not Moluag, as previously suggested, but possibly Columba. The wider use of handbells in the early medieval church is also considered. The bell-shrine was found in 1814, on the farm of Torbhlaren, in the parish of Kilmichael Glassary, in mainland Argyll, probably near to where it was venerated. The bell inside it dates to the 7th–9th century, the shrine to the first half of the 12th century. The latter bears evidence in its design of a mixed artistic heritage, including local, Irish and Scandinavian influence. Alternative hypotheses, that it represents the artistic output of the Kingdom of the Isles or Dunkeld, in the kingdom of the Scots, are presented. Details are provided of a technological examination of bell and shrine and a list of other early Scottish handbells is included. INTRODUCTION DISCOVERY AND PROVENANCE The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine [KGBS] is S Webb a medieval reliquary in the form of a small copper alloy box which contains an iron handbell (illus The circumstances surrounding the place 1). Associated with them is a copper alloy chain where bell, shrine, cross and chain were and cross.

LJ AVING devoted considerable space to the consider­ r ation of the Lells themselves, we turn to the question of their use; and, as is natural, tt.e human agents in such employment of them first demand some attention. There is not much of interest, however, to record con­ cerning these until comparatively modern times ; for although bells, as we have seen, are very ancient, bell-ringing as it is understood in England to.day is a thing of the last three hundred years only. In the days when churches usually had two or three bells only, and these were chimed or tolled singly, the bell-ringers' art was not one to attract notice. Charle­ magne ordained that the clergy themselves were to sound the beUs as a summons to divine worship, and as late as the last century the custom was regularly observed in some places; at Notre Dame, in Paris, for instance, the priests, arrayed in surplices, rang the bells, and such is still the rule among the Carthusians. The churchwardens' accounts for the parish of Ludlow in 1551 have an entry of the sum of twelvepence paid to "the dekyns for rynginge of day belle;" and a trace of the same usage is to be found at Holy Trinity, Coventry, a century earlier.

Tangherlini, Chair The academic study of Scandinavian culture and Scandinavian literature has long ignored the engagement of the Nordic nations in the tradition of drama and performance in medieval Europe. Early drama history scholars like Sophus Birket Smith and G.E. Klemming made claims about a perceived lack of practice based on limited sources and most of the scholars who followed them have accepted those claims as valid. Unfortunately, Birket Smith and Klemming were working with an incomplete corpus and nineteenth-century ideas about what constituted “drama”. Later scholars such as Frederick and Lise-Lone Marker and Terry Gunnell have made great headway in expanding the concept of drama and performance within the field of Scandinavian studies while also clarifying what texts we do, in fact, still have.

    Well, Our Mystery Is Solved Now." Dead Bell-Ringer with a Kind of Regret

    CHAPTER XXIX. THE ENEMY. WALTER broke into a weak, hysterical laugh, "ana I took that for a spirit," he exclaimed. Well, our mystery is solved now." "Yes," his chum admitted, looking down at the dead bell-ringer with a kind of regret, "still there are some points about it which still remain a mystery, and always will. There is no record of there ever being monkeys found in this state. It must have been brought here by one of the Spanish gentlemen as a pet and taught the trick of ringing the bell, and yet, that theory is unbelieveable. Consider, Walter, if such is the case, this creature has reached an in- credible age." Walter bent down and flashed the torch in the monkey's face. "He looks as though he had lived for centuries," he exclaimed, "his face is like that of a shriveled mummy, and see, that look of cunning and aged-wisdom in his features. Charley," contin- ued the tender-hearted boy with a break in his voice, " I feel as badly about it as I would if I had shot a 251 252 THE YOUNG PLUME HUNTERS man. Think of the poor, harmless creature, remain- ing true year after year to the one task he knew how to perform, and then to be shot down at last while doing it." " Nonsense, this is no time for sentiment. We must get back to our post, we have left it altogether too long. You will have to help me back, I guess, Walt," Charley said. "How did you get here ? " demanded his chum, the current of his thoughts suddenly changed.
