I Am Not an Object Laura Bates wrote a very controversial article on May 22, 2015. Her two page article, “How Dress Codes Shames Girls and Perpetuates Rape Culture,” set a tone that is hard to forget.

Honor vs shame Succumbing to lies and deceit, lustful temptation, and insubordinate shortcomings, characters in Shakespeare’s plays and histories illuminate the challenges with which significant societal figures fight to preserve their honorable titles while battling the self-consciousness of shame. Indeed, in Two Gentlemen of Verona, one of Shakespeare’s primere comedies, there is an ongoing conflict between submission to passion and loyalty to friends, seen most notably in the character
