Through out the novel: Esther is mistreated a lot by men, she also loses a lot of respect or love of herself from comparing herself to other women in terms of what men want. “The idea of beauty also ties into the fourth stereotype: men regard women primarily as sexual objects and thus of a lower status. This stereotype is perhaps the most detrimental to the construction of a woman’s identity.” (Holt, 4) Because Esther is pushed by society, the mass media and even her family to find a husband, she is in a way programmed to compare herself to any other woman and this is large detriment to her self confidence. As a woman she is mistreated by men who feel they hold dominance over her, by other women who see her as strange or lesser for not following the rules of society and mistreated by herself because she feels she does not fit the mold of the ideal woman.

Developed by Carter and McGoldrick (1988), the family life cycle views dysfunction in relation to normal functioning, It frames problems within the course of the family as a system moving through time. The individual life cycle takes place within the family life cycle (Carter & McGoldrick, 1988, p. 4). The foundation of the theory assumes that all families go through predictable change precipitated by life events and sometimes-unpredictable events (Azar, 2017b, 6). As these changes are occurring, the family must be able to adapt accordingly in order to avoid dysfunction. This may involve tasks that must be negotiated as they become more complex, and new roles and operations.

Can an orphan become a queen? It sounds imaginable, however, this is the story of Queen Esther. God had a purpose and a plan for Esther. She was a humble woman that leads and assisted her people. Just like the steps from the book The Servant Leader, Esther’s life included five steps of a servant leader. She ran with great purpose, upended the pyramid, raised the bar, blazed the trail, and built on the strengths (Leah, 2010). She accepted and used her position for the good of her people. Queen Esther was a servant leader that selflessly placed the Jews before herself and even at the price of possibly losing her life. Moreover, she bloomed into an influential and authentic leader by placing the Jews above herself. The book of Esther is about Esther being a servant leader.

In many ways, Buddy Willard is a dangerous figure in Esther’s life had she been naive and accepting of his propositions. These dangerous traits, however, simply encompass the ideologies which many men believe to be true, particularly in this time period. Such traits are evident in the following events: his ridicule of her poetry, his implication that she should give up poetry when they have a baby and when he unsolicitedly reveals his genitals to Esther, asking if she’s ever seen a man. Though these actions seem disconnected from the masculine gender roles, they are almost direct reflections of the societal norms for men.

Had Esther been naive, she might’ve agreed with Buddy and conformed to the female expectations that she must stay home with a baby. The danger that such ideology poses to Esther’s growth and conceptions about the world around her is evident in her reflection:

In conclusion in the novel I am Not Esther the important ideas that I have chosen are identity and role of women in the COF i believe these are good themes because they are both about the way you live. Your identity is who you are and the role of women is about how their lives are as women in the COF. If you had to compare living in the COF with living the way we are today.
