Individual in Society

Comparative essay The elective the individual in participation explores the meshing between autonomy and the social conventions that inscribe human behaviour. All societies drive accommodateity, and fear of rejection can allow an individual to compromise their values in order to be accepted. The social constraints of any smart set can nonwithstanding be understood within their context and both feeling and Muriels wedding explore the superficial paradigms of marriage, heroship and social class.The restrictive Georgian society in view where patriarchal institutions position women as objects of economical exchange serves to limit their individuality, whilst Muriels wedding offers insight into the social codes that conceal the individual both emotionally and physically. When comparing both texts, the fickle disposition of romance is incoherent outside of its contextual parameters. This essay also highlights the distinctive difference between the individuals attri plainlyes comp ard to other characters. In Persuasion by Jane Austen emotional and physical boundaries are placed by society restricting individuals such as Anne.Superficial values including class, status, marriage and air are held with high importance for umteen characters such as for Sir Walter Elliot. This is shown through dressing table was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliots character. Vanity of psyche and of situation. The repeat Vanity is implementd to exemplify Sir Walters pride and stupidity of someone meaning appearance and beauty and situation meaning status. By her use of irony in his comment Anne gives a subtle moral popular opinion on Sir Walter, and all who possess his qualities of vanity and stupidity.In Muriels Wedding by PJ Hogans also depicts the importance of superficial values such as study among the characters. This is shown when Muriels friend Nicole uses satire We dont want you hanging around us anymore. The use of satire adds humour to criticize M uriels friend exaggerated stupidity. Muriels friends continuously worry about the physical appearance as shown in Weve told you a thousand times how to do your sensory haircloth but you never listen. You never wear the right turn. Cheryl uses 1st person and 2nd person to have in mind the difference between them and Muriel, highlighting her isolation from the rest of the assort.This adds peer pressure for Muriel to conform to be accepted by the popular group. In Muriels wedding the characters only risk cheer through false appearances of marriage they believe it symbolise to them that they are undefeated because they found someone with high status and appearance. Irony and satire is utilize to ridicule Sophie Lees foolishness that even though her married man cheated on her she continues to appreciate him because of his appearance and status as shown in Youv got to find people in your own level. Like i found chook.Hes on my level. Marrying him was the happiest day of my life . I lie with him so much. That bastard Ill show him. Ill go on this holiday and sleep with a thousand men. Muriel is influenced by her and societies expectations of marriage. This is shown when David asks what attractive of person marries someone they dont love? The use of rhetorical question makes the audience consider that Muriel only married because she is obsessed with the appearance of marriage. Marriage in this film equates to acceptance from society because it reflects success.This limits her individuality until the concluding scenes her true sense of worth comes back after her mother dies that she at long last realises that she has not been truthful she repeats the use of first person i to signify the continues lies she has told i cant marry to you, David. I have to crack lying now. Ive told so many lies. I dont love you. In the end she accepts her individuality and is confident within herself and says goodby to antithetical locations of Porpoise sputter to symboli se that she is free from all the emotional restrictions that Porpoise Spit had placed on her.Unlike Muriel, Rhonda is confident with herself and does not attempt to fit in. She is different from the girls physically and emotionally. The Sophie Lee characters wear similar bright coloured clothes the flamboyant colours of their costume may reflect that they are seeking attention and the similarity in design and colours between the girls dresses, hair styles, personality show they are attempting to belong in a group and shows no individuality. Whereas in contrasts to Rhondas dark black cropped hair is in difference to Sophie lee, her friends and Muriel.Her character also depicts that she is an individual as she is outspoken and honest. This is shown when she says Nicoles having an affair with Chook. Muriel saw them fucking in the laundry room on your wedding day. Stick your drink up your ass, Tania Id rather swallow razor blades than have a drink with you. Oh, by the way Im not alone. Im with Muriel. Her impudence is portrayed through the use of coarse, upfront language and that she tells the truth.The symbol razor blades also portrays this confidence that she is so self-assured that she looks at them as downstairs her she exaggerates her opinion of them through this symbol. In conclusion there are many pressures within each society in Muriels wedding and Persuasion which confine the individuals Anne and Muriel. There are many factors considered that show Muriel and Anne as individual. Anne does not derive the same pleasure as others in her Georgian society from superficial values such as status, wealth and appearance.In an often satirical portrait of the men and, women Austen subtly and ironically points out faults in the system, rhytidectomy questions about the values of English society and the power structure of the country. besides Muriel is also an individual as she does not belong but attempts to conform within the late 20th century suburbia social cod es. At the final scenes of the movie she realises that she has told many lies and accepts her individuality. Muriel is an outcast and an individual in the initial scenes of the film. She attempts to conform within the group.This is portrayed when the group rejects her because she is so different from them but Muriel says Listen, i know Im not ruler, but im tryin to change. This depicts her desperation to be in the group and low self-esteem, as she even considers herself as worthless using the description not normal. Patriarchal society in which men held the economic and social power. In restrictive Georgian society women attempt to gain a dungeon through a successful marriage which constraints Anne to marry her true love Wentworth as he does not have status nor wealth.
