We know that Marty isn’t exactly content with a lot of his life. But what are the parts that he seems more or less satisfied with? Where is he #blessed? Marty is more satisfied with him trying to succeed in the meat business world, which in the 1950 s’ many men as well were making good amount of profit with family & on their own.

Marty may be thirsting for a companion, but he's not blind: No one around him seems all that happy with their romantic status. So what does he think he can have that others can’t? Even though Marty doesn’t have good looks, the way he gets girls is through his personality. In the 1950 s’ men only want to have fun and play around with the women. Marty is different from other people, he treated women with respect. http: //www. bing. com/ima ges/search? q=1950 s+da ting&view=detailv 2&&id= C 7 D 09 A 2232055 E 4 D 40 8527187 CAF 34 C 05 CE 3 42 FF&selected.

At the beginning of the movie, what’s difference between Angie’s and Marty’s expectations about romance, dating, etc. ? How do they change over time? At the beginning of the movie, Angie wanted to get hooked up with women and talk to women while Marty didn’t have interest in any of Angie's nonsense. During the 1950 s, men were expected to get married and have children. Marty had no confidence in himself, and he doesn’t see himself getting married in the future. For example, men in this period we expected to be tall good looking and be committed to marriage. Over time, In the beginning Marty didn't see himself good looking or finding a wife. But over time he noticed that his personality is helping him talk and open up more. http: //www. theatlanti c. com/sexes/archive/ 2013/01/the-manyproblems-with-online -datings-radicalefficiency/266796/
All the good guys in this movie get rejected more often than not. What does that tell us about the values of the society the movie depicts? The values depicted about this society are that women tend to go after the “bad boy” , society is more interested in looks than the inner heart personality. Men and women's expectations in society want looks that live thrill, the adventurous ones that are up for anything. Typically, the nice guys are seen as friends, or “too nice”. Marty was seen as nice but his looks didn’t help him either. http: //3. bp. blogspot. com/-XUzqn 9 Mq. If 4/US 2 j QFWZOI/AAAAFn 4/8 w 1 kgcaep. Cc/s 1 600/breaking+2+cropped. jpg
Marty’s history of rejection paves the way for a stronger, healthier concept of love. We agree on thesis because we believe that Marty has gotten hurt so many times that every time he has a chance to meet a girl, he wants to do everything possible to have something with her. For example, in the 1950 s, when a man "calls" upon a woman, he usually shows up at her house during an "at home" session and presents his card to the maid who then gives it to the young lady. She then is given the option of accepting his call by letting him in or rejecting it by making up an excuse as to why she cannot see him. http: //blogs. gossiptv. gr/politi/2011/04/29/inbridal-tripaki/
Aunt Catherine’s bitterness shows that even if you get everything - the husband, the family- nothing in life is permanent, and you can end up even sadder than before We agree with this statement because of the profound meaning and reality of it. Like all things in life, everything has an expiration date. Even love in this case, her children who once relied on her were now grown up and had their own lives to worry about. Most women in the 1950’s were obsessed with the idea of getting married and having children. Many women did not date men for long before getting married. Happiness for these women laid heavily on marriage. However after their children left, and the demise of the marriage usually made them feel empty. Now that their main goal was fulfilled they did not know what to do with themselves next
