Luciana In Shakespeare's Comedy Of Errors

Because of her being part of one of the highest upper social classes, she was expected to have a nurse that takes care of the housework; but that did not mean that she had to stop acting as a mother with them. For example, “Nora takes off the children’s things and throws them about (…)” . This is not a decent mother’s anticipated behavior, which would have instead been to accommodate the coats in a proper manner for Anny, the maid, to put them in the right place. The standards of society represent women as housekeepers which have to complete the role of taking care of their children . As Nora does not satisfy any of these roles, we can conclude that she is rebelling against these expectations of society, because she is not taking care of her three children as she ought to.

He feels that getting married will exterminate the last shreds of rebel he has in him. Kim later invites the Schaefers over for dinner. They’re a lonely hippie couple. As they’re having dinner, Kim starts to get annoyed and you can tell because shes giving the Schaefers the look also. She speaks up and asks the Schaefers, “do you two even like being married?”

Women became less strong and didn’t find the courage to act on their own or solve problems on their own. Juliet may have ended her own life because she truly loved Romeo, or she didn’t want to face the tragedy on her own. In conclusion, women’s rights played a huge role in the play Romeo and Juliet and could be one of the deeper meanings within the

In a way, Shakespeare is implying that when women are allowed to make their own decisions and do what they want, it never results in anything beneficial. Gertrude chose her new king and in the process contributed immensely to the downfall of her son, Hamlet. On the other hand, Ophelia, Hamlet’s lover, is the perfect model for a young lady in those days. When her father advises her to steer clear of Hamlet, she immediately obeys him. She does what she is told, not questioning why, but accepting that that is the way that things are to be.

• Polygamy would spoil the institution of marriage None of women are able accepting polygamy completely. Most of them would ask for a divorce once they notice their husbands’ request to remarry. It might be rush but what is the point to stay in that marriage? If the husband really loves his wife, why must him finds another?

Instead of marrying upon reaching puberty, she stayed with her father until she was ready to get married. She also hated men in general due to their consistent drunkenness and somberness. She acquired fluency in Chinese classics while most females spent their time serving the men. Even if Murasaki decided to diverge from the

”(8) The front pattern means paternalism, and the back pattern implies women’s resistance of it. Charlotte Perkins Gilman uses the room and the mixed patterns in the wallpaper in order to depict the oppression of the women and the subsequent consequences of that oppression for both narrator and her husband. In the 19th century, the rights of women were not guaranteed, and women were controlled by their husbands, or fathers.

But if you had a friend, any friend, and the friend came to visit, I’d make him feel comfortable” (Carver, 3). The Narrator did try to do this. In fact, during their conversation during dinner time, he tries to comment on the discussion, but only ends up in embarrassing himself and his wife in the process. Than there is also the fact that he pities what he does not understand. For example, he believes the blind man’s wife was sorrowful in death.

This code denied women any legal rights and access to divorce, which meant that their husbands had control over them, confining them to a subordinate, domestic role. Before the French revolution, women played a domestic role and they were subject to limitations. The law was against them. They couldn’t vote, act in plays or get a job to generate their own income. Yet, the paintings that were produced during the time, depicted them as desirable, beautiful and

It’s not until Nick Carraway (Daisy’s cousin) becomes neighbors with Gatsby, (Daisy’s long, lost lover) when she discovers that Gatsby is alive, still in love with her, and has been waiting for her just across the bay. Nick helps them reunite with each other in secret. He says that it’s just the two meeting for brunch, but it is not. This relates considering how she got married knowing she wasn’t in love with Tom and only for his money at first. As soon as she found out that Gatsby was alive and kicking, she jumped at the opportunity to be with him privately.

He only helped Diana get famous with his cheating, but she suffered because of him. Diana’s life might have been like a soap opera because her marriage was not perfect, she had to share the husband with the mistress and the queen did nothing about it. She did not get the support from her new royal family, she was in her own. People and Media know how to change the situation so she

One of the main arguments of the anti-suffrage movement was that the women’s place was at home. Without women at the house, society would crumble without anyone raising their children. One anti suffrage document stated “Man’s political service to the state is counterbalanced by woman’s service in the home. If there were no families and no homes, there would be no State.”(2). Anti suffrage advocates believed that women held down the family portion of society, and that in turn gave them an important role.

In the novel one of the men, Carlson is annoyed by Curley’s outburst of trying to look for his wife and complains, “Whyn’t you tell her to stay the hell home where she belongs?” (62). Men didn’t like the idea that women could have the same rights as them and go around to places instead of staying at home. They believe that since women are meant to be housewives, they should stay in the house. From this quote, the reader perhaps, mistakenly agrees with Carlson, thinking that Curley’s wife is just a rebellious woman who isn’t there for her husband.

William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” was a play about romance, misunderstanding and happiness. A modern audience would view this play in a different way to an audience in Shakespeare’s time, particularly in relation to the role and status of women and attitudes towards courtship and marriage. Two of the main ideas in the play include the fact that women’s voices aren’t heard and the role of the father in the relationships of their daughters are two topics that will be covered. As a 21st century viewer of this play seeing the treatment of women, and how their voices and opinions aren’t always taken into account, I believe that this sort of treatment wasn’t the right thing to do.

Similarly to Lennie, Curley’s wife also feels left out and different from everyone else. She is not considered a “normal” wife, or have a “normal” hope for her future. Most people during this time hoped to get married and become a housewife; Curley 's wife aspired to be an actress and only married Curley when it did not work out. Curley’s wife told Lennie, “I ast her if she stole it, too, an’ she said no. So I married Curley (Steinbeck 88).”
