Down to Feminists Hail to Real Women Everywhere
Equal opportunity, its such a standard policy
these days. It was originally associated with the
feminist movement with the simple intent to
establish a level playing field. The prima facia
of the phrase is idealistic, and at the least, the
perpetual continuation of egalitarianism. Although
these are both true, taking a look deeper into the
contemporary application of the concept reveals
anything but equality. As a woman, these so-called

More Power To You Henry V, Twelfth Night, and
Macbeth cover the whole field of Shakespearean
genres, but it is amazing how Shakespeare displays
a theme and carries it through in any kind of play
he wants to. Historic, comic, and tragic plays are
about as different as you can get, yet when we
take a closer look we see many similarities among
them, especially in the area of social hierarchy.
In all three of these plays, Shakespeare uses a
similar theme, which he conveys and proves through

people in general didnt not just hold certain
morals, but the different classes in the Victorian
society also held their own beliefs on moral code.
Of which, the mid...
