Of course there is disadvantages of her solidarity such as missing the pleasure of friends and family's companionship . https://padlet.com/amaryamalayed/Shareurthoughts/wish/2103912092 Rahaf alkuwaiti. ]]> 2022-03-20 17:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amaryamalayed/Shareurthoughts/wish/2103912092 Before they even start to work on their relationship I think they should fix what is it broken or burried inside of them such as insecurities and other stuff , and I believe the first proper step they should take is learning how to validate one another's feelings and communicate with a purpose that they want to listen and fix what need to be fixed. https://padlet.com/amaryamalayed/Shareurthoughts/wish/2103914877 Rahaf alkuwaiti ]]> 2022-03-20 17:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amaryamalayed/Shareurthoughts/wish/2103914877 Although it is quite unusual what she felt but it kind of make sense, it doesn't have to do with her marriage or her husband, I think the true reason behind that feeling is that she never lived for herself maybe she doesn't have separate life other than marriage. Because having a career or other friends anything that split her mind of her partner as a "break " maybe she would've felt differently. And marriage is not oppressive by nature however it is very rare to find a person who you can build that balance with . Where life doesn't always revolve around the partner and each can enjoy the companionship alongside their separate lives. https://padlet.com/amaryamalayed/Shareurthoughts/wish/2103919424 Rahaf alkuwaiti ]]> 2022-03-20 18:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/amaryamalayed/Shareurthoughts/wish/2103919424 https://padlet.com/amaryamalayed/Shareurthoughts/wish/2103931608 I believe it is either that Emily’s poetry was affected by her life or the opposite, it might have been that through writing she found new life and slowly started feeling content with it leading her to be more isolated from the world that she never really was fond of. Or it could have been that Emily felt judged, scared by people and society who constantly felt like they were chewing on her thus, leading her to vent through her poetry while simultaneously developing her solitary. Regardless of whatever reason pushed her, her poetry ended up gracefully yet simply reflecting this solitary of her, it gives others who are somewhat similar to her thinking and lifestyle feel comforted and engrossed with her poetry, even after all this time. 
Isolating oneself does not always mean neglecting the whole world while feeling sad doing it, it could be solely someone’s way of enjoying life the way it is. Just like how others enjoy company and going out, others feel the same about being alone. You could be the happiest ever with yourself rather than seeking it from others, by reflecting on yourself, life, and your surroundings, charging energy that was sucked out from socializing. Just because the majority do not feel like leading a solitary life, does not mean the ones who do are odd. You will eventually find your peace, stay away from people’s chaos, and save people from yours too. 
On the contrary, this might lead to someone who does not easily -could be completely- believe in people, does not have an optimistic view of society and its people, and even be the center of the talk for being ”weird”. Overall, I believe what determines the advantages and disadvantages of solitary is the one who's living it because often time a disadvantage to someone, is a blessing to another.

Secondly, excepting each other flaws as well as their own, and realizing that everyone is prone to have flaws that might not be changeable. What makes changes difficult is the constant denial that is built on an unrealistic, false base of expectations from a relationship that feels like walking on eggshells. Listening to their partner and having a full conversation with them without turning it into a fight at the slightest opposition would play a massive role to fix some aspects of their relationship. Because relationships sure need commitments, as well as full efforts to sustain and keep them going, that is, from both sides not only one that should be entirely invested in them. Lastly, anyone should know that working on and trying to fix a relationship is a tough process, and it will certainly take time, but willingness will overpower barriers.

Most of the time people search for logical reasons to be unhappy, rather than accepting minor ones, and in Mrs. Mallard’s case, her only escape from the misery she feels is through her husband’s death, which is tragic honestly. Although I felt terribly sorry for the husband, it goes the same for Mrs. Mallard; no one deserves to feel this way. 
Marriage discussions are always packed with the same stereotypes about it being hard to handle, draining energy, someone not being able to fully enjoy their life, and the famous phrase ”live your life to its fullest before getting married” Honestly, who would not feel oppressed before even getting oppressed? When something is constantly being talked about and acknowledged, it will eventually become the only painfully acceptable truth. It is because people made us feel that all marriages are this way that we cannot help but view it like this. Even the simplest amount of freedom indeed will be left behind in marriage, even if it was left behind willingly, overtime when it gets piled up, someone will eventually get fed up and explode from the overflowing and constant enduring. So it is truly oppressive but by nature of society’s labeling, even if it was not overwhelmingly, there is always that small cracking that seeps out patience.

I felt that there was an exaggeration in her reaction to the news of her husband's life after she thought he had died.  The death of a woman because of this makes me feel that the narrator is exaggerating the story. in fact , I don’t think that all marriage are oppressive by .nature in the other hand ,  it is really need  to work and patience and communicate from the both sides]]> 2022-03-20 18:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/amaryamalayed/Shareurthoughts/wish/2103959478 They should communicate positively and not be stubborn or ignorant. Therefore they should first feel what they lack and what they want from each other, and after realizing this they should communicate respectfully. By going back to their story, you can see how they lack communication. For example, when the wife was talking to him while he was reading he did not respond and did not ask her to wait on the other side she did not ask her him way ….so my point is if they comunicate thair proplem will be solved.

The advantages of isolating yourself is finding yourself; doing what you love , trying new things ...
The disadvantages lack of communication.

I do not agree nor disagree that 'all marriages are oppressive by nature' because we do not know what happens in each and every relationship.
