Juliet vs. The Women From "The House On Mango Street"

Juliet is very similar to the women in The House On Mango Street. All the women are trapped in their own world some how by different people in their lives. The women are not allowed to go out and stuck at home and told what to do for the bulk of there day. For Juliet and the women there are told who they should marry and how they should be like. Unlike the the women Juliet is more privileged in the sense that she dose not have to stay at home to watch children, clean, nor cook and is more privileged to go out but must be accompanied. With Juliet it is less of her father or husband creating isolation for her but her status in the society. As being almost royalty and coming from a very wealthy family she has to be preserved and carry on the family name with an honor. The women from "The House On Mango Street were more imprisoned on able to go out or use the phone and have no sense of communication at all. Taken away from everyday freedoms such as education and a social life.
