Marilyn's downfall =( !

Summary:
After Marilyn had finally reached what she dreaded for so badly she started breaking down. Marilyn became an actress and she was becoming famous but apparently all of the fame and fortune wasn't worth it. Even though Marilyn was envied by a lot of other girls Marilyn wasn't happy with her life. She made many mistakes that could never be fixed and people that didn't know her life story thought she was a promiscuous girl. Even now people that truly don't know Marilyn think she is an easy girl that would let guys do anything they wanted with them. However, I know Marilyn's story and I can honestly state that Marilyn deserves respect and for people to care about her because she went through a lot during her child and adulthood. Joe DiMaggio held a funeral for Marilyn and she was laid to rest in August 8, 1962. Until today Marilyn also remains being a legend in the world of acting.

Quote: "In Marilyn's case, the triggering event, the specific incident that pushed her over the edge, seems to have been nothing more than her doctor's having gone to a dinner party with his wife" (Leaming 424).

Response: Marilyn wanted nothing more than to be an actress. On the other hand, she also wanted to find true love but everything just seemed so hard for her to achieve. Joe DiMaggio however, did love Marilyn but things just didn't seem to work out between them since they had different views on certain things. In the end Joe was really upset about Marilyn's death and he still loved her even after she died.

There's Still Hope Left For Marilyn!

Summary:
Marilyn Monroe dreaded to have a child and saw the opportunity. She was so ecstatic when she was pregnant from Arthur Miller that she was very fearful to lose the child. Marilyn was ready to leave her bacchanalian lifestyle and settle down to have a child but she never got the opportunity to actually have and raise a human being. She started consuming pills and drinking alcohol because in a weird way she thought that was going to help her baby stay healthy, but apparently she was strongly mistaken since she had a miscarriage. After her baby died she fell into a strong depression and she started wondering why her baby died. She really wanted to have a baby but her desire soon came to a halt. Afterwards, Marilyn wasn't as enthusiastic about the movies but she still wanted to remain married to Miller, she actually had strong feelings for him.

Quote:
"From then on, her hopes of the film had died. But Marilyn's attitude to her marriage was a very different story. She was utterly determined to keep that dream alive" (Leaming 271).

Response:
The quote proves the point that I was talking about when I stated that Marilyn was willing to give up her acting career but she still wanted to keep the marriage she had with Miller. Miller showed that he really cared about her and he really helped her throughout her acting career especially since he was a movie director at the time. Nevertheless, they ended up getting a divorce on 1961.

Marilyn's Outcome

Summary:
Marilyn was living a great life until her life started hitting a downfall. She was truly in love with Joe DiMaggio but Marilyn's life became a problem in their marriage, she became famous and many guys just wanted to have sex with her. After dealing through all of these problems, Marilyn and DiMaggio decided to get a divorce on October 27, 1954, while remaining intimate friends. Latter on in 1959, Marilyn won a Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy. Marilyn also came by the decision of finally marrying and settling down with Arthur Miller, a playwright that helped Marilyn through achieving success in her acting career. During the time period in which they were married, Arthur made films especially for Marilyn. However, on January 20, 1961 their marriage ended. Marilyn didn't have long marriages with Arthur or Joe but for the time she was with them she seemed happy.

Quote:
"Marilyn's relationship with Arthur changed when his wife found out about the love affair" (Leaming 189).

Response:
Marilyn actually started seeing Arthur in secret but as soon as his wife found out everything changed. Mary, Arthur's wife kicked him out and he became closer to Marilyn as a result. Arthur showed support towards Marilyn that was very special to Marilyn leading her to fall for him. After some time, they became official and Marilyn decided to marry him. The women who barely ever wanted to settle down for a person actually married twice. You can tell how people influenced her life in good and bad ways. Such that she became more serious but was also more depressive at times because of her fear to be neglected.

Marylin Suceedes

Summary:
After never being able to acquire the goals Marilyn dreaded for, she met Joe DiMaggio. DiMaggio was a famous baseball player for the Yankees and he feel madly in love with Marilyn. He wanted to marry her but wanted her to stop acting. Marilyn wasn't going to give up her dreams of being an actress so she didn't let DiMaggio talk her out of acting. Even though he didn’t want his "girl" to act, he still supported her. Marilyn landed a spot in some films like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and she started becoming recognized. She had finally reached her full potential in acting.

Quote:
"This was the moment Marilyn had been working toward since she was a sad, lonely little girl in an orphanage" (Leaming 88).

Response:
This quote describes how when someone really wants something and they work hard for it, the goal is attainable. Many people want things but the never put dedication toward those things so in the end they are left with nothing. However, this wasn't the case for Marilyn since she actually won her stardom after trying countless times.

Merilyn Monroe

Summary:

Barbara Leaming's, Merilyn Monroe or Norma Jeane is about a girl that was left alone in the world at a very young age. She didn't like accepting the fact that she was an orphan but the facts were inevitable. She wanted nothing but to be an actress but this goal seemed too hard to accomplish. While she was in some houses many men abused of her since she was beautiful. However, Merilyn was given a shot in Hollywood and she wasn't about to let it go. She started being intimate with many guys in order to get what she wanted. Nevertheless, she didn't want money or power so she turned down marriage offers. Johnny, a guy that fell in love with Marilyn told her to not be in films that weren't a big deal because then she would never obtain the big break she was longing for. To Marilyn's disgrace Johnny died from a heart attack and she felt lonesome again; she even tried to commit suicide but wasn't successful.



Quote:

"Money and security, the things Hyde and now Schenck offered, were never really what she was after. The whole point of getting involved with Johnny, Kazan, or any other men in her life had been to help her reach a goal. She wanted to be a person in her own right" (Leaming 26)

Response:

Marilyn wanted people to respect her and admire her. She wanted to accomplish her aspiration by becoming a famous actress. Many people thought she just wanted money and eternal wealth so many men told her to marry them. I think she was a woman with a set mind. She didn't want to marry someone she wasn't in love with. Many people in her place would have accepted the offers Marilyn received but not Marilyn.
