It's late afternoon; beagles chirp, as they disappear into the sunset, waves crash along the seashore. The diamond ring reflects the sun's rays on the woman's finger, from a distance. The man next to her gives her his full attention. As he takes her hands, he moves closer to her, staring into her pretty eyes, while his fingers run through her silky hair to her lips. He lifts her in the cold breeze, holding her tightly, not wanting to let go. The creases in his smile express the happiness and love he feels every time he is with her. The man leans towards her to kiss her, which symbolizes his love for her. Is this the typical husband we know every day? No. In society, a husband is defined “as a married man” (“Husband”). In other words, a husband is a person who is in a legal relationship with another person. Kate Chopin portrays two different types of husbands through two main characters, Bobinot and Alcee, in the 1960s in the story "The Tempest". Bobinot illustrates the significance of a husband as he demonstrates the attributions of nocturnally shining armor to his wife, Calixta. In contrast, Alcee represents the opposite of a faithful husband as he is dishonest and Raymond Carver in the 1980s validates how the role of the husband has changed over time, similar to how Alcee does not take his marriage or his wife seriously. A husband is not only a married man, but also someone respectful, faithful and understanding. There are two types of husbands in society: one who lacks respect, loyalty, fidelity and responsibility towards his spouse, and the other who contains all the attributes of a prince charming. Based on the husband's culture, this will...... middle of paper ...... make the same mistakes? You would think that this information would lead them to choose better husbands, but they seem to fall back into the status quo. They don't want change because they are afraid of the outcome. How can men improve their stereotype? First of all, they must start behaving like Barack Obama, Ricky Ricardo and Bobinot in order to change this bad image that men have, and thus women would start choosing their suitable husbands.
