Women Portrayed in Homer's The Odyssey Women were
very important to the Greeks, and they showed this
value in many ways. In The Odyssey Homer shows us
the different ways women were looked upon through
female characters, such as Penelope, Naussica, and
Anticlia. With Penelope, a faithful and loving
wife to Odysseus, Homer reveals to us how the

Cambridge Cambridge University Taming Of The Shrew
2,014 words
A recurrent theme In Shakespeare's plays is the
idea that things are not always what they seem.
The Taming of the Shrew shows a good example of
this theme. In this play we find many
discrepancies between what seems to be and what
is. The main theme of this play is knowing what a
person is really like is more important than how
they appear to be. This is shown by Petruchio's
relationship with Katherine; the changing roles of
Tranio, Lucentio, and Hortensio; and the true
characters of Bianca and K...

Woman Suffrage Association American Woman Suffrage
1,059 words
Woman suffrage is the right of women to vote.
Today, women in nearly all countries have the same
voting rights as men. But they did not begin to
gain such rights until the early 1900 's, and they
had to overcome strong opposition to get them. The
men and women who supported the drive for woman
suffrage were called suffragists. During colonial
times, the right to vote was limited to adult
males who owned property. Many people thought
property owners had the strongest interest in good
government a...

"To have drunkards, idiots, horse racing
rum-selling rowdies, ignorant foreigners, and
silly boys fully recognized, while we ourselves
are thrust out from all the rights that belong to
citizens, is too grossly insulting to be longer
quietly submitted to. The right is ours. We must

Stanton's speeches shows what great injustices
women had to suffer. Stanton is saying that even

cultured women. In many...

Women In The Ibo Society
605 words
In Things Fall Apart, the Ibo women were perceived
as being weak. They received little or no respect
in the Ibo society and were harshly abused.
Perhaps, tradition and religion established their
role in this type of society. In the story,
Okonkwo had three wives. He mandated them around
as though they were animals. They never questioned
what they were told and were required to be loyal.
The reader sees this at the beginning of the
story, when Okonkwo brings the young man into his
home. Okonkwo t...

End Of The Play Shakespeare Othello
781 words
Shakespeare's Othello is commonly regarded as a
work depicting mans ability to use his reason
towards evil intentions. A lowly ancient in a
generals army is able to destroy him through
manipulation and deceit. But although Iago's
deceit of Othello is undoubtedly a central theme
in the play, another theme regarding the nature of
the man towards woman is apparent. Shakespeare's
Othello suggests that men mistreat women because
women, as a sex, allow themselves to be
mistreated. The mistreatment of ...
