shakespeare questions

Q1 A. The society of woman in shakespearean days is very different to today. The role of the women in those days was to beckon to every need and wants of the man in those days. The women were to be very loyal and obedient and had no say ikn anything and must never disagree to anything the man says. If ever they were to go against the mans word she would be greatly punished and regarded as being very disrespectful.

Q2 A. The importance of being a man inn those days were that the man was the bread winner of the house hold.The men must always be respected and never be looked upon as the same level as anyone else especially a women. Men are the ones that mostly rule and are respected and are the ones that go out to defend their country which in todays worlds anyone male and female have been allowed to go and fight wars and defend their country or go and represent them in importants meetings etc.

Q3 A. The character that goes against the way women are suppose to act ib shakespearean days is Beatrice. This is a woman who stood up for her rights and spoke her mind. She defends herslef and alll women in those days that couldnt find the courage to defend themselves in fear of their men living in the household. Beatrice wasn't afraid to say when Benedick was wrong and was not afraid to tell him what she thought about him even if it was insultive. In those days women were not suppose to do that it was considered as morally incorrect and disrespectful to the men of the household.
