Similar with Nawal el Saadawi in "A Modern Love Letter," Nadine Gordimer's "A Soldier's Embrace" reflects how within societies where numerous differences and dichotomies exist, it is the women sector who suffers the most, and these sufferings further escalate if, apart from being females, they also belong to other marginalized sectors in the society (e.g., the poor sector, colored people, the elderly, among others).
In her short story, Gordimer provides detailed imagery of subtle and implied oppression that a South African woman experiences in the hands of both white and colored soldiers. The story begins with this powerful imagery, narrated as follows: "There were two soldiers in front of her, blocking her off by a clumsy embrace...and the embrace opened like a door and took her in...They all gasped with delicious shock..." This momentary...
The soldiers' embrace, in effect, marks the continued oppression of women amid the freedom that colored people in South Africa had achieved from Western colonial rule. Gordimer wants to illustrate to her readers that among the oppressed sectors, it is the women who had the most oppressive history, an oppression that was not achieved by a revolution and seemed to defy historical and social changes. Hence, the continuous illustration of male dominance despite the occurrence of freedom of society from colonial rule serves ad evidence of Gordimer's view that female emancipation is still far from being successful and yet to be achieved.
Sandra Cisneros's "Eyes Zapata," Zakaria Tamer's "Sheep," Nawal al-Saadawi's "In Camera," Hanan The predominant similarity between Sandra Cisneros's short story, "Eyes of Zapata," and Nawal al-Saadawi's "In Camera," is that both narratives deal with the oppression of women who fail to conform to the limited roles that society constructs for their gender.

He was given the title of 'seid' or 'cid', which meant 'Lord' or 'Chief', by the Moors, and also that of 'Campeador' or 'Champion' by his own admiring countrymen. Unfortunately, tradition and legend have competed with one another through time, to such an extent
El Cid and Medieval History Medieval Spain was a constant battlefield where Christians and Moors fought constantly. The Moors had invaded Spain in the early stages of the 7th century and remained in control of the area well into what are now known as the Middle Ages. The Moors had begun their campaign in Europe intent upon conquering the entire continent but had been stopped at the Pyrenees by Charles the
Saikaku, Pushkin and El Saadawi: Is Justice Possible? The concept of justice, in literature and in life, is a universally cherished yet complex and inherently ambiguous one. All societies have respective, sometimes opposing, ideas about justice. Islamic Sharia law (once enforced in Afghanistan by the Taliban) states that cutting off a hand is apt justice for theft. Western society would consider that act not only unjust but barbaric. Webster's New American
