Women re: Men and Men themselves Flashcards
Eliot: typist not being keen
TS ELIOT “She is bored and tired
[the clerk] Endeavours to engage her in caresses
Which still are unreproved, if undesired”
Eliot: Men abandoning women
“…the loitering heirs of city directors’
Departed, have left no addresses.” –abrupt and sudden end to line/ abandonment
Eliot: Men being smug and pleasured
“bestows one final patronising kiss”-Men’s attitude is free and enjoying and sneering, superior
Rhys: Greyhound
As walter starts to kiss anna: “I was thinking about the man at that supper-party at the Greyhound, Croydon, when he told me, “I’ll show you how to kiss.”
Walter #no consent
“he laughed and squeezed my hand … I felt cold and as if I were dreaming.”
“When he touched me I knew that he was quite sure I would. I thought, “alright then, I will.”
Walter condescending bastard (stockings)
“You looked awfully pathetic when you were choosing those horrible stockings so anxiously”
CRIT, austen who?
Artheton: the state of things for Anna hasn’t changed much since the days of Jane Austen: dependence on male’s economic care.
