Comparing and Contrasting Senora Ines and Rosaura In the short story “The Stolen Party”, Rosaura and Senora Ines impression on why Rosaura was invited to the party is completely different yet similar. “You know what you are to them, the maid's daughter”, her mother had said.

In paragraph 5 on the first page of the story, Hurst writes, “It was bad enough having an invalid brother, but having one who possibly was not all there was unbearable, so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.” This clearly makes readers think that the narrator wants him dead, and the narrator isn’t grateful for what kind of brother he has. This clearly brings up that it was the narrator 's fault that Doodle died. He left Doodle out in the storm on purpose and ran away, the narrator had plans to kill him earlier on in the story, and everyone expected Doodle to die right when he was born.

Women can be the weaker sex and lack of self control during crisis, but that statement is not always true. Based on “The Dinner Party” it states, “the young girl who insists that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and a colonel who says they haven’t” (Gardner 30). In this quote, you have the young girl who believes that women are now stronger than the “damsel in distress” stereotype. However, the colonel thinks women are still weaker than men in a crisis, and that applies to some women, but not in all women. It also states that, “a faint smile lights up the woman’s face as she replies ‘because (the snake) was on my foot” (Garner 31).

After all, to have a character confined to the private space places limits on where the writer can set scenes. Far easier to have her dress as a man and then she can traverse the masculine public space. Yet the complete lack of men cross-dressing as women (even for comedic scenes) and the popularity of the mujer de la hombre device with the audience (more specifically the mosqueteros; more on that later) and in a country with such stong patriarchal ideals rather suggests it was used for titillation. This is also evident in the text of Life is a Dream where Rosaura is still sexually attractive to Segismundo though he believes she is a man, "I am so bewitched I can no longer think" (Act I, 174), strongly hinting that the actress would play this role with a wink to the audience, playing up on her sexual appeal. It is unlikely that Calderon was writing the first quasi-homesexual romance of the Golden

In Tancredi and Ghismonda's story, honor is often manipulated Further, Even in Caterina's tale, honor is changed from different situations and families. Ghismonda's father having a more rash reaction compared to Caterina's. When confronted by Tancredi, Ghismonda speaks out and says, "I did not take a lover at random, as many women do, but deliberately chose Guiscardo in preference to any other, only conceding my judgment of us both, I have long been enjoying the gratification of my desires. It seems, however, that you prefer to accept a common fallacy rather than the truth, for you reproach me more bitterly, not for commiting the crime of loving a man, but for consorting with a person of lowly rank, thus implying that if I had selected a nobleman for the purpose, you would not have had anything to worry about. You clearly fail to realize that in this respect, your strictures should be aimed, not at me, but at Fortune, who frequently raises the unworthy to positions of eminence and leaves the worthless in low estate."
