Gender roles are assumed and there is a lack of communication amongst them. My mom has always taught me to help her maintain the household by cleaning and cooking for the rest of my family. I am the only daughter of a family of three children and have always had the responsibility of accommodating the men in my family. This has caused some resentment towards my brothers.

Dolly and Toula are similar, Dolly being Aboriginal not knowing what she wants in life, she comes across a “white boy” which her nan is not very impressed by. This relates to Toula in a similar way, because Toula comes from a strict Greek family and she is expected to marry a “Greek boy” too keep the tradition in the family, instead she marries Ian Millar who is from a "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant" who Toula comes across unexpectedly whilst working outside the family business. These both show a strong sense of belonging as Dolly and Toula feel they belong when the men are welcomed into the family. In the 1950’s play “Rainbows End” by Jane Harrison and in the film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” directed by Joel Zwick in 2002 both effectively portray different aspects in which allow individuals to feel self-comfort. Ones interaction with others and the world around them can enrich or limit their experience of belonging.
This is an example of gender stereotypes where the women/wife is expected to do everything in the home a mother would do and still raise the children without any help from the husband. “I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean…I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook” (Syfers). This is only one example described in her essay but it does fit the stereotypical wife that men dream of and expect to have. The unrealistic dream often happens when men are depicted as having total control over their wives. Syfers goes on to describe how if and when the husband decides he wants a new and better wife he is allowed to do so.
