Abstract
The writer discusses sexual symbolism, human behaviour and foreshadowing in these short stories. The paper explores the impact sexuality had on society, and the ways in which society affected women in relation to sexuality.
From the Paper
"Almost to the end of the text her mysterious feeling of Bliss, for which she finds no outlet, drives Bertha. Mansfield explains this Bliss to the reader through the nature of Berthas actions, Bertha transfers her energy from arranging fruit, to tending her daughter but neither creative nor motherly actions can relieve her. Her duties as mother, housewife and decorator are not enough to fulfil her. Signs of sexuality materialize in this scene. The bowl of fruit sits full and ripe, ?stained? with pink as a symbol of fertility as well as temptation. The grapes still covered in bloom remain untouched, as Bertha is sexually unawakened. Bertha looses herself within the image of the fruit and its sensual nature, yet jerks herself back into reality. She contradicts the earlier sensual imagery with a superficial comment on the carpet. This pattern of indulging in her sexuality and then recovering herself is repeated throughout the text. She turns away from the two stray cats courting and is more likely to accept pictures of beauty such as the Pear Tree, or Pearl as sexual before she does the more animalistic images of sex."

The paper also provides a detailed analysis of Mansfield?s original and distinctive delivery of the short story.
From the Paper
"An important figure in the modernist movement, Katherine Mansfield was a highly experiential writer who sought to find new ways of representing the world. The beginning of the twentieth century was a time of terrific change due to technological advances, scientific theories and capitalism. The First World War compounded this disturbance and literally shattered the universal values which held society together. Society was left fragmented and disillusioned and the Modernists felt that the traditional mode of representing the world in literature, specifically realism, was outdated and no longer appropriate. Mansfield ?s short story Bliss, 1918, demonstrates the desire to break with the past and experiment with new methods of writing which would express this transformed society more aptly."

From the Paper
"Death pervades Mansfield's short stories. Her own illness of pleurisy/consumption and the harsh effects of World War I focused her thinking and reactions. As social commentator, she continued to remain an active participant in the European intelligencia. Like many of her contemporaries, however, Mansfield felt cut off from the harshness of death and war (x-xi).
The Daughters of The Late Colonel and The Garden Party depict characters in society facing the real world consequences of death. Through Josephine and Constantia in Daughters, Mansfield emphasizes how illness and death pervades not only the dead but the living as well. Death cuts the daughters off from an adult, mature life; trapped in their service to the memory of their overbearing father that leaves them ill-equipped and unprepared to live life on their own. In The Garden Party..."

Sexual Desire of Plato's Symposium - Diotima and Alcibiades, 2002.
Discussion of Plato's "Speech of Diotima" and its theme that sexuality is a path that leads to the appreciation of spiritual beauty.

Abstract
Plato, in the "Speech of Diotima," explains much of human beings' ability to learn to love, as this seems to distinguish them from animals. Socrates is told that a person must devote himself or herself to the love of beautiful bodies and the cultivation of their own. It is then necessary to view the beauty of people's souls as more valuable than the beauty of their bodies, and to then acquire an appreciation of the beauty of various activities and laws and, "with the result that ... the beauty of bodies is a thing of no importance". (58:210c) Sexuality seems to be referred to here, as a basic and early motivator of a greater and greater ability to perceive and appreciate beauty as the ancient Greeks believed was a most important element of the personal development of the superior person.

Abstract
In this article the writer analyzes the play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' by Tennessee Williams and notes that bathing and drunkenness are two common threads exposing sexual tension in the play. The writer points out that even the title of the play suggests the sexual tension between the characters. Further, the writer looks at the connections between desire and death as portrayed in the play. The writer maintains that it is as if Williams is telling us that from too much desire only death can come. The writer notes that Stanley, the most dead of all three characters becomes numb to his reactive behavior. The writer concludes that Stanley is trapped in his uncontrollable animalistic sexual desire destined to live like an animal surviving purely by instinct.
From the Paper
"Stanley is a man's man--full of animal instinct and desire. He cannot control himself in any regard. Stanley cannot control his temper so he beats his pregnant wife. He can't sequester his passion for Blanche so he rapes her. He can't bare losing Stella so he screams for her at the top of his lungs proclaiming his need and love for her. Stanley is all about sexual desire--it rules and runs his life.
"Drunkenness and bathing are the soothsayers for Blanche and Stanley when their desires become overwhelming. Blanche uses a bath to soothe her nerves and to try and wash away her sexually promiscuous path."

Background to the Study
Over the last two decades, research studies have documented significant rates of child sexual abuse among both female and male children.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to compare and contrast the characters of Stella and Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams? A Streetcar Named Desire.
Tennessee Williams? A Streetcar Named Desire, set in the Elysian Fields district of New Orleans, opens to the sound of a tinny piano playing Negro blues tunes, music that according to the author ?expresses the spirit of the life that goes on here" (p. 13). This spirit is one of desire, suppressed passions, and illusions played off against a sordid reality. These themes are embodied in the characters of Stella Kowalski and Blanche DuBois, who are sisters. Stella is a gentle young woman from a background obviously quite different from that of her husband,
Stanley, whose first act in the play is to throw his wife a (...)"

Abstract
This is an introduction to the topic that sexuality in advertisement causes sexual desirability of a person. The null hypothesis is that this experiment using sexual advertisement will not produce desirability. The paper shows how sexuality is a problem in the United States and examines whether the advertisements that portray sexuality may lead to sexual violence crimes. The writer asks that if this is true, then is it ethical to use ?sexual? advertisements?
From the Paper
"Does sexuality cause desire for sex? What is the difference between looking at sexual advertisements and regular advertisements without sexuality? Is there a difference? The class will show 15 sexual advertisements and 15 non-sexual advertisements. Will there be a difference? Many believe that the media has played a role in the increase of young people having sex early and with more partners. Is this true? Movies, television, music, and magazines are filled with sexual messages to the young person. Even at an early childhood age, children want to dress sexually. Teens rate the media as a second source of information about sex. Schools are the first source in giving information about sex. Does ?sexual? advertisement lead to sexual crimes and aggression? Is it ethical to use sexually appealing advertisements if it can lead to violence in the home or other crimes? Does research show that advertisements bring the desire for sexuality? "

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the short story "Miss Brill" by Katherine Mansfield. Specifically it contains an in-depth character analysis of "Miss Brill." The paper focuses on Miss Brill's inability to see reality for what it is, which makes her a sad and even pathetic character living a tragic and flawed life. The paper's author finds Miss Brill's character to be quite complete and complex for such a short story.
From the Paper
"This very short story contains quite a bit of information in just a few pages. The narrator is Miss Brill, an older single woman out to enjoy a band concert on a bright fall day. Throughout the story, the reader learns more about her character, her life, and her work, and it is clear by the end of the story that her life is empty and sad. In fact, her character is quite pathetic, not because her life is so empty, but because she cannot admit that to herself, or face reality. She is old, out of touch, and clueless. She is also a kind woman and it is clear she is harmless and meek. However, her life is tragic because it is so empty and she accepts it that way. "

Abstract
This paper reviews several articles discussing female sexuality. It reviews articles on what female sexuality is, what is involved in the sexuality of females, what helps aide in feminine sexuality and what hinders a women's sexuality. The paper looks at some of the problems associated with women's sexuality and whether these are perceived, physical, or medical problems. Finally,it examine how women see their own sexuality.
From the Paper
"Before the advent of the ?sexual revolution? in the 1960s the subject of female sexuality was considered taboo in so called polite society. Discussion of sexuality by females was viewed as an aberration. Women were taught and told that the normal reaction of women towards sexual intercourse was that they generally did not feel any physical or emotional pleasure from it. Sex was a means to an end; by performing their wifely duty to please their mates women were subjugated to the role of baby maker. This severe repression of female sexuality and its total submission to reproductive functions determined the limits of knowledge for untold generations of women (Gomex 1995)."

"Sexuality is a term that means different things to different people. The same can be stated for sexuality in politics, religion, and social relations. This paper discusses the articles of "Sexuality" and "The Sexual Revolution." How is sexuality a political issue? How does sexuality affect the way people live? How has sexuality changed through the years? These questions are important in helping a person develop their own sexual identity and understand why a person believes the way he/she does about social politics or the social issues of sexuality. The authors show how sexuality is affected by both religion and politically. Sexuality has changed over the years in many different ways. "Throughout the course of U.S. history, the meaning of sexuality has been continuously reshaped by changing economic and social institutions". At one time the word "sex" would get the attention of people because sexuality was not discussed in public."

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews how human desire and sexuality can become the victims of racism. Particularly, the paper examines two articles which underscore how the sexual urges of white men vis-a-vis black women were valorized and legitimated even when that meant rape, at the same time as the sexuality of black men, especially as it pertained to white women, was de-legitimized.
From the Paper
"Human Sexuality and Racism: A Discussion of Two Articles There is little doubt that human sexuality and desire can function as a form of racism. That being said, racist desire and racist assumptions about sexuality can still be combated by vigilant citizens. The following paper will review the work of Lewis R. Gordon and Siobhan Somerville with an eye towards examining how human sexuality functions as racism (on occasion) and also how people can fight against racism when it appears in such instances."
