Throughout the Elizabethan era, men had more advantages than women. William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew has characters such as Petruchio, Baptista, Katherine, and Bianca that show how men overpowered women. During the Elizabethan era, there was heavy sexism. Women were discriminated. Through Shakespeare’s language, men could speak to and about women in a disrespectful and derogatory manner. Women were voiceless and deprived of their right to speak. Women were inferior to men. During the Elizabethan era, through Shakespeare’s language, and in Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, it is proven that men had more advantages than women.

Men being respected and treated highly while women treated with little to no respect because society has pictured women as inferior to men. I strongly disagree with how the society portrayed women in 'Taming of The Shrew.' Portraying the female gender being a weaker gender to the male sex. Even in todays' society, women are still being portrayed as the weaker gender by society and the male gender. 'Kat' is soon to realise the unfairness of how each gender is being treated by society and becomes labeled as a 'Heinous Bitch,' quoted by 'Miss Perky,' for speaking her mind and taking a stand against the person society wants you to be. While young 'Bianca' is still yet to realise the mistake of believing the lies that the society feeds young girls to find what the 'real' meaning of the word "Beautiful." The Misogynist World that was shown in the Movie 'Taming of the Shrew' indicated how both genders were treated in the Elizabethan Era. However in '10 Things I Hate About You' the film displayed the world that appeared to be similar to our traditional society but if you look closely enough, you can see the movie to be ruled by misogynist expectations. Shakespeare grew up in the society where treating women as inferior to the male gender was acceptable but the writers of '10 Things I Hate About You', Karen McCullah Lutz & Kirsten Smith, wrote the film as an

1-3. The main idea of Chapter 1 Every Trip Is a Quest (Except When It’s Not) (pp.1-6) can be concluded in the following sentence: every story is a quest that consists of a person that has a reason to go to a certain place with challenges on one’s way which then leads the particular person (usually the main hero of a story) to the actual, or real, reason associated with self-knowledge, because the quest is always educational.

2. What was interesting about the process you went through in writing this paper, and what did you learn from it? The process of researching the topic was very interesting because although I had already read the novel, re-reading parts of it allowed me to elaborate more in this assignment.

* When reading literature: memory, symbol, and pattern help you understand the text better. If you don’t comprehend literature, then you won’t know the real meaning behind that passage. But that’s why memory, symbol, and pattern come in to help. I think the recognition of patterns make it easier to read complicated literature because then we can analyze what

Lakoff and Johnson’s analytical tool highlighting and hiding presents readers with what is seen and unseen in a metaphor (10). In this case, this metaphor really highlights getting the general idea of what is going on. In both situations, the person is getting a basic understanding of what they are looking at, or reading. This metaphor hides the fact that in a museum getting the principal idea of what something is, is ok because there is another exhibit to look at, whereas while reading, it is ok to get the general idea, but that chosen reading is all the reader is going to focus on, so getting a deeper, and fuller, understanding than just the basics would be helpful, so they know what’s going on and why. Although they only get the

The Taming of the Shrew was written in the Elizabethan Era in England at a time when men were considered to be superior to women. The patriarchal society of this time is reflected to a large extent in the text and various implications of traditional values can be noted.

Trace three of the following threads through the novel. In two paragraphs for each explain the various literary effects of each of the threads and how each is related to the theme. Use quotations from the novel to support each analysis.

A Quest consists of five elements: 1. a quester, so to speak, or the person who is on a quest. 2. a place to go. 3. a stated reason to actually go there. 4. challenges and trials on the way. 5. a real reason to go there.

Sexism is the stereotyping and discrimination based upon gender. Typically steered towards women, it has played a large part in not only our society today but in the past as well. In the play The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare, it is shown in the treatment of the women by their male counterparts. It is most prevalent in the way that fortune-seeking Petruchio goes about taming his aggressive and sharp-tongued wife Katharina. By examining Petruchio’s actions and Katharina’s reactions towards his efforts at taming her, once can see that the play is indeed sexist.

Women and men’s role in Elizabethan society is completely different to modern society. The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare shows exactly what the attitudes were like. For example, the scene when Katherina is fighting with her sister because Bianca has a number of suitors waiting for her but she refuses to tell Katherina which one she prefers. Katherina gets angry and aggressive towards Bianca because she doesn’t give her an answer, Katherina starts to attack Bianca. Their father enters into the room and says “For shame, thou hilding of a devilish spirit! Why dost thou wrong her that did ne’er wrong thee? When did she cross thee with a bitter word? Baptista is expressing why Katherina would

In Shakespeare's comedy, The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare has a woman as one of the story's main characters. Katherine Minola (Kate) is off the wall, and kinda crazy. Because of her actions, the “male centered world” around her doesn't know what to do with her.

One of the most notorious topics of interest in the works of Shakespeare is the role women receive in his plays. The way Shakespeare wrote his plays, women were very submissive to men and had no will and choice of their own. Women were extremely reliant upon the men in their lives, believing that they were inferior and thus following their desire for the women’s lives. This included that marriages were usually arranged by a powerful male, instead of giving the woman the opportunity of choosing marriage for love. It is not surprising that Shakespeare portrayed women in a way that was familiar to him and the time era in which he lived. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Taming of the Shrew, both focus on the development of love and not, with
