The dictionary definition of moral integrity is “steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code” (American Heritage Dictionary, 2009). To my mind, that speaks primarily to a sense of ethics; people have to decide upon what they believe is right and wrong, and style their life after that definition. For the most part, that dictionary definition is correct, as there is no one universal sense of morality – one simply has to act on what they believe is right. To that end, I would revise the dictionary definition of moral integrity, appending its existing definition with the phrase “without conscious betrayal ...

The book Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs is usually seen as a sentimental novel about a narrative of a female slave. Many readers have also noticed that Jacobs’ story has been weakened by several conflicts in the book. In Jacobs’s words, “slavery is terrible for men but it is far more terrible for women (120).” Reproduction is one primary purpose of female slaves. Linda, as one among many female slaves, may have limited choices, if any and most of it can be seen as decisions of the weak but the Jacobs, the author creates a new meaning ...

I. Introduction

The noir tradition in film and literature offers a singular perspective on the power struggle between men and women in a patriarchal society. The femme fatale, an icon of the genre, is often an ambiguous figure, seeking control over hard-bitten male authority figures who often have little more to recommend them than their masculinity.
