Compare And Contrast Deborah And Jael

96 Words1 Page

Chapters 4 and 5 provides a positive and powerful tone when discussing women. Both Deborah and Jael are praised in the lyrics in chapter 5 (5:7,24). Chapter 4 depicts the women as strong and independent when completing actions. Deborah is respected and obeyed by Barak with a compromise, and Jael confidently kills Sisera (4:8-9,21-22). I find the passages comforting, since the women are treated like humans instead of objects. Important actions and interactions are held in between men and women. At the end the women are celebrated just like the men when they accomplish something

  • Esther As A Bat Mitzvah Analysis

    1251 Words  | 6 Pages

    This interpretation is seen through the way in which the author has used Esther to show the ideology of gender and power. This is emphasised in the text through the way in which Esther embodies the patriarchal values through her beauty and obedience (Hancock, 2012). This belief existed largely in the Tanaka, as the first book states that men were created first and women second, which set up a patriarchal view for the rest of the books. From this setup, many scholars say that although the book of Esther is named after the primary female character, it is “told by a man’s world, but also for a man’s world. That these are not stories of women, but stories of female role models determined and fostered by the strongly developed patriarchal ideology.”
