It might be said that social convention were really marked and important at that time (1890's), the role of the women was very limited and they were supposed to follow and respond to men's decisions. Hedda seems to be socially repressed and she had a good social and economic position. However, in this act she seems to transcend social limits by being authoritative and demanding. She appears to be in control of the situation without following any men. In fact, she even manipulates and commands people around her, both man like Lovborg and woman like Thea.

It might be said that social convention were really marked and important at that time this play was written which was around the 1890's, at this time the role of the women was very limited and they were expected to follow and respond to the men's decisions and wants. At this time as we see in act 3 of the play that Hedda does not care about the social expectaions but only cares about herself. Hedda seems to be socially repressed and she had a good social and economic position. However, in this act she seems to transcend social limits by being authoritative and demanding. She appears to be in control of the situation without following any men. In fact, she even manipulates and commands people around her, both man like Lovborg and woman like Thea.  There is many examples of this in the play. One example is when she has the idea that Lovborg should kill himself with a dramatic gesture. Another example is how she speaks tho Brack in The play when it is said "BRACK: No, no, I daresay not. But suppose now that what people call—in elegant language—a solemn responsibility were to come upon you? [Smiling.] A new responsibility, Mrs. Hedda?HEDDA: [Angrily.] Be quiet! Nothing of that sort will ever happen!" And a third example is Thea, the passionate and intellectual woman (she speaks early in the play of how Lovborg brought her mind alive) can give birth, and loves the child she and Lovborg produced. Hedda, the cold, self-indulgent women, wants nothing to do with children. And in the time that this play was written most women wanted children this is also another social norm that Hedda had broken.

kirill115 [55]

Answer: From the outset we know that this is a child speaking to the father about the smell of alcohol (whiskey, your breath). If life is a dance then this child is having a tough time because the dance was not easy - note the lack of a contraction which makes the line more formal.

Romped implies a sense of fun but lacking control because things fall from the shelf as a result of the dance and mother isn't well pleased. The use of the word countenance and unfrown is unusual. The former refers to the mother's facial expression, the latter isn't a proper word.

The words battered and scraped, beat and hard suggest the father's rough handling of the boy but these are neutralised almost by the use of waltzed, which implies some sort of carefree innocence.

Don't know if this helps, but hopefully you gained something from this!

Two Kinds” and “Daughter of Invention” have main characters who are bicultural.
laiz [17]

The two texts have two characters that are bicultural. They treat the issues of biculturalism as given in options A and C.

<h3>What is Culture?</h3>

Culture refers to the way of life of a particular group of people. It normally includes their values, norms, and ethics.

In the two texts referenced above, the characters how have adapted to two cultures - hence the word bicultural:

  • use their understanding of American culture to help their parents adapt to life in a new environment; and

  • strive to find a balance between meeting the expectations of two cultures and developing their individual identities.
