Measure For Measure/A Feminist View
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page essay that discusses this Shakespearean work from a feminist perspective. Shakespeare's Elizabethan era was characterized by an "oppressive patriarchal culture," yet within this society, there are existed contradictions, "pressure point," so to speak, where there were "opportunities for resistance" (Findlay 7). This is the theoretical position taken by Alison Findlay in her text A Feminist Perspective on Renaissance Drama (1999). Using Findlay's feminist position, it possible to interpret Shakespeare's manipulation of the trope of virginity in Measure For Measure as offering a feminist perspective.

Medieval Gender Roles

of human freedom. The role of women in medieval Europe has been
portrayed as having limited freedom, denying them the right to exercise
free will in a society dominated by religious considerations as well as
being in the process of social and economic transition. This 7 page
paper proposes that during the Middle Ages there were a number of
factors that influenced gender roles, among them the preponderance of
war and the assumption of political power by the church. Once the

Most Witchcraft Accusations Were Made Against Women
[ send me this essay ]
20 pages in length. The discomfort that fear and unfamiliarity breeds has lead many societies to condemn certain populations for no rational reason. Looking back into history, perhaps no other example illustrates how unmitigated alarm and ignorance can create a living hell for those on the receiving end of such prejudiced treatment as with the subject of witchcraft. While both men and women alike were fingered as witches, women suffered considerably more accusations and, therefore, more indignities. Mental illness and gender emancipation, combined with the rampant fear of an unenlightened Puritan society, represented the primary reasons why witchcraft accusations were made mostly against women. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
