Friar knew about the problems between the Montague's and Capulet's yet he still marries Romeo and Juliet. Friar knew it would end in a feud between the families because he said “For his alliance may so happy prove to turn your households rancor”.
One of the first similarities between two of the texts, is the perceptible barriers that the ‘falling in love’ creates, barriers are built in great contrast to one another, and these come across as impossible to destroy. “His name is Romeo, and a Montague; The only son of your great enemy.” A barrier is built by the two families ongoing feud between one another, in which they do all they can, to protect ones maiden name. It is first brought about in the prologue, “and the continuance of their parents’ rage” highlights the foremost hurdle they encounter, its initial intention is to separate their togetherness and never let it merge into a “new mutiny” but in actual fact it brings them closer together. This creates the sort of scenario of ‘not being allowed to have something, increases you’re covet for that thing’ be it love or even a symbolic item, like say, an onion maybe... Juliet reacts in a way that she expresses her anger and frustration at this barrier of hatred, which is held together by the concrete family name “My only love sprung by my only hate” It weakens her mentally, knowing that she feels for the man so deeply, the man that “If they do see thee, they will murder thee” Her hearts love and desire for Romeo has only strengthened “Prodigious birth of love it is to me” yet the barrier still stands. This makes her more vulnerable to being hurt but only motivates her further, to bulldoze the barricade down as if it is her heart that is controlling her mind, rather than hear actual intellect controlling her mentality, this foreshadows and explains future tragic events which occur ever so wretchedly.
Patriarchy not only shows in commitment relationship like marriage, but also takes place in family relationship like father and daughter. When Egeus angry declares his right over Hermia and strongly denies her love for Lysander, As she is mine, I may dispose of her- Which shall be either to this gentleman Or to her death - according to our law Immediately provided in that case.

Since she is a perfectionist, when she comes to live with Stella and Stanley, she tries to change their ways of living by decorating the place and performing other modifications to the lifestyles of the married couple. This sets off a negative attitude in Stanley since he can not live the way he lived before Blanche appeared in their life. Now that she is here, he can not fulfill his desires, which mostly have to do with sex. Stanley's biggest flaw is his character. He is a domineering and possessive husband who has an abundance of pride.
In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, the two main protagonists are very similar in based of personality traits, but it is also shown that they are still very different individuals and whose characteristics have a bigger impact on the play. Romeo, the son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague, whose actions have escalated the family feud between his family and the Capulets. Romeo was love struck the moment she saw Juliet, that the same day “[they] met, [they] woo’d, and made exchange of vow” (Shakespeare, Act 2 Scene 3 62). In a sudden action of haste, he asked Friar Lawrence “that thou consent to marry us today” (Act 2 Scene 3, 64); all of this because of what he has been feeling ever since he met her. Not only he is impulsive, but he is also devoted.
If Capulet had not moved up the wedding the Juliet and Romeo could have happily escaped together. Finally, the family feud between the Capulet’s and the Montague’s. During the beginning of the story the chorus gives us a story overview by saying, “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star crossed lovers take their life” (7). If the two families were never feuding then Romeo and Juliet could have been happily married. The feud is the main issue in the story.
Macbeth was obsessed with gaining power and becoming king and he was jealous of Duncan because of his power and authority. In the opening pages of ‘the withered arm’ the origins of the conflict between the two women are established. We are shown the connection the two women have to Farmer Lodge and the differences between the two social classes. Hardy deliberately juxtaposes the different houses and lifestyles (pg5) to encourage the reader to sympathise with Rhoda and perhaps to emphasize more the inevitability of the conflict between the two women. Hardy’s interest in the underdog and the uncovered difficulties experienced by women and the poor, show he was strongly against social prejudice which would have been a big thing at the time this novel was written and was probably influenced a lot by his own childhood experiences.

In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet’s father is a controlling, brutal and selfish person. Despite his concern about her happiness, he forces her to agree to the important decisions he makes for her, without considering her opinion. For example, when Juliet refuses Capulet’s decision for her to marry Paris, he responds very cruelly. He starts talking to her in a very harsh way, calling her names like “disobedient wretch,” “baggage,” and “hilding” (lll, v, 160-169). He also mentions that he feels like hitting her.
They do not belittle themselves as housewives; instead they “compete” with their partners. And because of this competition, they could very well be pushing them away. The interaction between the male and female are different because of this ongoing war between the genders. “That’s because they’ve been raised to think of men as the enemy. Armed with this new attitude, women pushed men off their pedestals.” This is from “The War on Men”.
