Issues of Gender Relationships and Violence in Euripides' 'Medea' and Shakespeare's 'Othello'

(Please note: Task 1, 3 & 4 have been combined together into one report. Task 2 is separate and can be found on page 9)

In the play ‘Othello’ written by William Shakespeare, we see not only the main male character leads. But we also see the female characters, Desdemona, Emilia, and Bianca. These three women were portrayed in ways that showed them being inferior to the other male roles as well as society during the Elizabethan Era. But Shakespeare made each of these individual ladies characteristics quite unique to one another having the traits of a feminist. Even though in the play we read how the male characters did somewhat control them and made them look weak compared to them, there were moments where Desdemona, Emilia and Bianca stood up for themselves.

Feminist critical lens examines certain texts with a primary focus on both gender’s relationship with each other and how such relationships demonstrate effects towards beliefs, behaviors, and values. This critical lens also examines a patriarchal-centered society and how such society define and interact with women with an emphasis on stereotypes of both genders that are present and evident in the text being analyzed. William Shakespeare’s Othello can be scrutinized through the feminist critical lens. A deep analysis focused on feminism of the play Othello paves way for the judgement of different societal status of women in the period when the play took place, the Elizabethan society. Othello is a best fit that demonstrates how men were

If you have been struggling with this question then an answer to your problem, if not plight, has been found which I am going to describe below.

Shakespeare's time was a patriarchal society of strict social hierarchies and rules about how women should behave at home and in public, with women being vastly deprived of the freedoms they have today. In the play Othello, the three female characters Desdemona, Emilia, and Bianca conform to the ideological expectations of Shakespeare's Elizabethan Society and lack power and importance when compared to the men of the play. Throughout the play, women are seen as the possessions of men, passed along from their father to their husband, making them essentially powerless and submissive to the whims of their men. Desdemona is seen as a piece of property to be owned and is treated as such by the men in the play.

Medea loved Jason and was quite happy to be the meek and mild wife she
