that is true. There’s no right reason female characters always speak so much less than male characters in films. There was probably no intention to make men lead the progress of a story, but in fact filmmakers inadvertently caused a gender inequality through filming businesses. According to New York Film Academy Presents, only 30.8% of speaking characters were women in the top 500 films released from 2007 to 2012 and average ratio of male actors to female actors is 2.25:1.

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.
