Beatrice is the one that starts this one. “I wonder that you will still be talking Signior Benedick nobody marks you.” This shows us that Beatrice wants to talk to him but she does it insulting him. Benedick responds really quickly “What my dear Lady Disdain! Are you yet living?” Here Benedick is saying that Beatrice feels that she is inferior to everyone and she can say anything because she is inferior. In Act II where there is a party in Leonatos house Beatrice talks to a masked man and tell awful things about Benedick to him.

This aggravates him and he accuses her of having no faith in him. He says “Why do you come hither? Have you no trust in your husband?” (Hawthorne pg. 298) Georgiana retorts saying “"it is not you that have a right to complain. You mistrust your wife; you have concealed the anxiety with which you watch the development of this experiment.
The only woman the prince is going to marry is beautiful and white. The prince and his lifestyle are the cultural norm, and everyone wants to be rich. It is capitalistic and when Cinderella has to be dressed in the beautiful ball gown, it is an example of consumerism and how a woman is only wanted if she is beautiful while wearing something beautiful as well. Cinderella is an example of traditional norms when it comes to femininity. If she were strong and independent, she would end up alone.
Alex Williams Mrs. Elrod AP English 12 March 29, 2013 “The Importance of Being Earnest” and the Victorian Era Society The Victorian Era was an excellent time in the English history, when classical music was at its peak and sophistication was very important. During this great era, men and women searched for the ideal partner based on the expectations in this demanding society. After researching the society of the Victorian Era and relating it with the society found in Oscar Wilde’s play “The Importance of Being Earnest,” the reader can acknowledge the humor found throughout the Characterization and the social satires of this era and play. With its subtitle “A Trivial Comedy for Serious People,” The IBE jokingly criticizes the Victorian morals and manners but also pokes fun at the wealthy. Men and Women of the Victorian Era had very distinct roles.

Hell and night must bring this monstrous birth to the worlds light” (Shakespeare 1.
Lady Macbeth’s Direct Influence of Macbeth The downfall of Macbeth is caused by two unparalleled sides of the same road that is merely Macbeth’s own personal weak conscious and the dominated physiological abuse of Lady Macbeth. The constant manipulation of Lady Macbeth directed at her husband operates as an assault to his duties as a man and spouse, along with substituting her husband’s ambitions and aspirations with her own thriving greed for power. The ability to think to beyond what is needed encourages not only the collapse of sanity in Macbeth but also the rationality of Lady Macbeth. “What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our pow’r to accompt? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?”
Sophocles characterizes Creon as a sexist ruler who has little value for women, which consequently leads to his downfall. This ultimately reveals that possessing discriminatory traits can result in one’s demise. Sophocles characterizes Creon as a sexist man that consequently endures a harsh downfall when he displays his arrogant attitude about himself being king and his belittling attitude towards women.
