HW23: "With apologies to Virginia Woolf"

In Chapter three of A Room of one's own, I noticed that Woolf talked of arranged marriages more than once. I decided to take the headline of Jezebel Hells Bells:Return of the British Bridezilla

paragraph cited(Woolf pg.42)

Response as Virgina Woolf:
I could hardly believe my astonishment when I read this article. Women actually having the right to choose their husbands! It's about time! The right of a woman should be to have her future in her complete control. The days are long gone of when woman will be forced to spend the rest of her days with a complete idiot. Woman should have the full right to pursue what they want in their weddings. Weddings should involve excitement for the future not fear. A high point in this article for me was the admiration a groom held for his bride. A woman should be praised. No one has the right to take someone for granted. More importantly someone that they are expected to spend the rest of their lives with (if they are to last that long.) Finally marriage can be a ceremony of affection. There is no evidence of a business deal, or an exchange of family names purely from status. There is no longer practices of betrothal which leads a woman to live a life that she does not desire. Marriage is a choice that should be made because of love, and respect for an individual, not to raise your social stature. I'm pleased to say that this is a step to a society that resembles equality. By giving a woman the right to pick her mate you are allowing her to become whatever she likes and to mold her own future. Marriage should be sacred and by giving a woman full priority over the situation allows her to become more of an individual.
