Esther's Path to Fulfillment

The painting of the perfect marriage of the 1950s depicted by that time television comedy shows a husband of a happy family, a loving intimate wife, a handsome businessman and two or three children. This ideal version represents exactly that time or the current marriage. In the past few decades, especially in recent years, the version of marriage changed a lot. The dynamics of how marriage took place has changed dramatically since the 1950s. At that time, when the husband went to work, the woman should stay at home, have children and take care of the family.

This disillusionment is self-fulfilling at her novel hero, Esther Greenwood. Esther's self-introduction in New York also won the internship in Mademoiselle. However, the voice of Esther had nothing to do with her current environment. Esther recognizes gender bisection, women often pursue careers such as secretaries to support executives, "wait for New York to marry a certain professional man or other male"

In the whole novel, Esther is concerned about the social system and the role that women are assigned to obey. Esters neglected that men had superiority over females and that they should fulfill their maternal role. Esther did not attempt to imitate the attitudes of her mother and Mrs. Willard, but Esther was still affected by the ideology that she often received. In addition, Mrs. Willard and Esther 's mother only suggested that Esther should play its role. Esther's philosophy is centered around feminism, women should have the same opportunities and privileges as men. Unfortunately Esther identified a deceptive civilization whose idea and ideal of crying was broken. Mrs Willard is a wise and intelligent woman who dedicated his presence to a devoted wife and mother. She preached to Esther.
