The Epic of Gilgamesh contains several instances where women are regarded as objects that solely provide men with pleasure, specifically with the story of Shamat and Enkidu. In the beginning of the epic, the story is introduced with the creation of Enkidu and his transformation into a human being; a vital part of Enkidu’s transformation being a woman named Shamat. Shamat acts as the bait or lure that leads Enkidu out of his animalistic lifestyle, and causes him to become human. In order to do so, Shamat is told to do sexual acts that will arouse Enkidu. For example, the

After the remembrance of how he was undressed, the speaker describes how Aunt Frieda would undress herself. Frieda undressed herself in her younger days. Her slow removal of clothes seemed like seduction. To the narrator, Frieda undressing herself represented a time of health, independence and youth, “I try to imagine her healthy, undressing herself “ (12). The speaker then remembers how her aunt’s body looked naked. She was a petite girl whose body had flaws. Her marks represent the tough times Frieda had growing up. The poem eludes that it was her inner beauty that stands out. It mentions two seventeenth century artists, Rubens and Rembrandt, who have different styles of work. I researched their work and found that Rubens is known for his very sensual and elegant work. In contrast, Rembrandt portrayed tragedy especially in his old age. Aunt Frieda’s life was not always glorious, and she endured many tough times. “ whose scarred beauty Ruben would surely have missed,/ but Rembrandt, in the loneliness of his dying days,/ might have been immortalized “ (16-18).

Nowadays, many young people in the world always read the literature book with many stories like science fiction, comedy, fantasy, and romance in life and society. Two of the most famous literature stories that make me really love it called “Beowulf” and “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.” Both of this story illustrated between these women 's always try to overcome with all the mission in life and show their responsibility to achieve successfully in life. Thus, the poet shows that the women 's role in British literature is a very good central point, they always face with all these conflicts about the protagonist male throughout the poem. Besides that, Beowulf and Sir Gawain always challenge with all the women in the story about their power and honor. Thus, the poet assumes all the women in the literature focus on the life actions and deeds with the male hero. In the literature work, all the women try to bring everyone in their lives with all the peace, and their sole purpose in life was to please a man’s every desire through the story. In both stories, the role of women 's is important to everyone in our society and life. We cannot deny the importance of women role in society as a wife or a mother in their families. They have a responsibility to take care of their own personal lives and their families by overcoming many obstacles from these heroes in the poem. Throughout the stories, the presence of the role of women in literature is very important and necessary in life with

She wraps her female sexual fantasy of Guenever's humiliation around a woman's perception of a male masturbatory fantasy. A handsome, dejected knight withdraws to a forest meadow next to a stream to reflect on his ill fortune. When he wakes from a nap, two lovely maidens take him to a fabulous pavilion where he spends the afternoon making love to the most beautiful woman on earth who loves him "more than anything" (116). Moreover, his generous lover provides him with "a dowry" of inexhaustible means and the opportunity to have her whenever he wishes, knowing he will circumscribe his pleasures to discrete circumstances. Marie's lai reflects twelfth-century feminine tastes.

He finds the sensuality of love from the beautiful Kamala. She teaches him everything that he knows about love. She is his first experience with a woman. "He learned many things from her wise red lips. Her smooth gentle hand taught him many things. He, who was still a boy as regards love and was inclined to plunge to the depths of it blindly and insatiably, was taught by her that love cannot have pleasure without giving it, and that every gesture, every caress, every touch, every glance, every single part of the body has its secret which can give pleasure to one who can understand." (53-54) Once he has discovered love, he decides that it isn't the right path for him then leaves. Later, he discovers that while playing the game if love, he had planted the seed for a son, before he left.

Love is perhaps one of the most contested issues in the world. No one has a precise definition of what love really should look or feel like. Most people have resorted to use their own experiences in love to effectively derive its true meaning. Through these experiences, philosophers have argued that the definition of love varies greatly depending on whether it was given by a man or a woman. This is however not the case. As proven by the narratives of Beauvoir and Sartre, the definitions of love derived from the experiences of both men and women are quite similar. Consequentially, Beauvoir’s account of the woman in love sheds important light on Sartre’s conflicting thought about love. By first highlighting the concepts of love as stated by Beauvoir, this text seeks to establish how Beauvoir’s account of love lays a vital foundation for Sartre’s.

Love is expressed differently by all, some like Salamono may tuck it away, only to release it when the lover has left forever. Others , like Marie, choose to boast it to the world without hesitation. This quality is her confidence is herself shining through. She never fails to attest to what she wants “Then she said she wondered if she

The portrayal of men and women has varied in different stories throughout history. Many portray women as beautiful, deceptive, manipulative, and smart, while men are portrayed as being strong, masculine, and easily tricked. In many of the works covered in the course “Major British Writers to 1800,” men are advised to refrain from acting lustful, believed that it would harm their overall ability to succeed in whatever the characters aimed to do. An example of this is seen in “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” when Gawain is deceived by Lady Bertilak in an effort to prove that Sir Gawain is imperfect. The depictions of men and women are very similar in Fantomina by Eliza Haywood, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Phyllis and Aristotle. .

A tall, beautifully terrible goddess with four arms, a long tongue and fangs, Kali ‘devours all beings ’(SK 50)-an ambiguous figure of the feminine and the monster. The men’s recollection of Kali is of both awe and fear. Luczak marvels ‘at her beauty’-‘the dancers thighs’ and the ‘waist is high and impossibly narrow, widening to full hips’ (SK 158). Moreover, his dreamy intimate encounter with Kali accentuates his attraction to a great mating partner. Larger hip is more attractive as the gluteal fat is a resource for pregnancy and lactation and wider pelvis provides lower risks of obstructed labour (Lassek and Gaulin). Das recounts that the great dark beauty of the goddess is ‘the power to incarnate, a force beyond time or comprehension’ (SK

Women have frequently been one of the victims of the stereotypical and judgemental society. Every action and step that’s taken by them are critiqued by society. If women are seen to be involved in such activities that violate modesty, they get shunned and negatively viewed, whereas if a man commits the same action equal amount of critique isn’t given. In many places around the globe, women are considered inferior. They are underestimated and are always seen to be dependent on men. What some often fail to acknowledge is their significance. The Epic of Gilgamesh was widely subjected on the heroism of two friends and the journey of transformation of a mighty king, but it did convey the significance of women and the important roles that were played by them nonetheless. Without the assistance and vision of women, the Epic of Gilgamesh wouldn’t have been so epic.

This portrays an early form of sexism, and a highly negative attitude toward the woman, showing that fundamental female qualities such as pregnancy and childbirth are irrelevant and not things to be highly valued. In the Buddha legend and during his life in general, the Buddha showed several contradictions concerning the status of women. He was said to be “torn between the culture and social system, and the conviction that women are as capable as men.”[3] Firstly, Maya, the name of his mother, means illusion in Sanskrit. However, in ancient Indian beliefs from which Tibetan Buddhism emerged, Maya was the name of the most powerful goddess who represented all material things in the universe. The Buddha also believed that the woman’s body was something impure and dirty, which then manifested itself into impure and evil personality characteristics. “The female’s defects – greed, hate, delusion, and other defilements – are greater than the male’s…Because I wish to be freed from the impurities of the woman’s body, I will acquire the beautiful and fresh body of a man.”[4] Women were believed to have uncontrolled sexuality, which was greatly frowned upon by men. The Buddha comments that “it were better that your sex enter the mouth of a poisonous snake than that it enter a woman.”[5] This rather harsh statement about male disgust toward sexual intercourse with women is the foundation of one of the biggest contradictions found in Tibetan Buddhism. Not only did
