Is this sentence grammatically correct?

>On the surface, Bertha’s strategy of rebellion seems to be less successful at achieving happiness than Helen’s submission; however, it is important to remember that Bertha is systematically disadvantaged in ways that Helen just isn’t: while they are both women, Bertha is also a Creole and very mentally ill.

Is this easy to read, and if not, is there a better way of saying this?

i would find something more formal, as well as more emphatic, than your "just isn't." otherwise it's fine

If you have to write something like that for a university course, change your degree.

If you genuinely enjoy writing this drivel, kill yourself.

It's correct. I would change the semicolon for a period personally.

>>8776705
This. Maybe just say "in ways that Helen is not." What's this for OP? Just out of curiosity.

It's totally fine (I am a punctuation master).

It would be fine to split it into two sentences (at "however") as well.

Insane I keep writting because teres nothing Taht Ill rathher do,I m going crazy by the minute AND Aia can feel it, pleas will somenone help me now, please will someone come down to this hole and help me, please, please, p,ease. I know there is no answer, and I know I shoul have never asked, but i did. T the en of thr en dsande end there is only a tame flame, and perfect and carelles flame. Eagerly waiting for us to give away wat makes us human, wath mekes us suffer. And is in this far and distant place, this natural and and man made place, where I find her. She isa ll I care for. Beauty incarnated, and me. She loves me, i know, but im too afraid, because I know me as well a someone can know HIMSELF. I fight and I burn and then i cry some more but i never let them see that. She isa ll I care, maybe even an answer, maybe even a question,but is too far away.And she keeps getting further. Why, ho why? Had the tulips turned gray, when the mountain had crumbled and the prose had gotten stale.

I think this one is alright

When matter in parentheses, even a grammatically complete sentence, is included within another sentence, the period belongs outside the closing parentheses.
