    During the antebellum time period in the south, many black slaves were subject to a tremendous amount of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse by their owners. Almost every time a harsh and violent slave owner is talked about, it is assumed that it is a white man inflicting all of the violence and torture. Although that is true that white male slave owners did impost a lot of this violence, they were not alone. It has recently been shed to light that female slave owners were just as violent, if not more violent than their male counterparts. In Thavolia Glymph’s work Out of the House of Bondage: The Transformation of the Plantation Household, she gives empirical evidence that white women in the South were more cruel than many historians had made them out to be.…

    Harriet Tubman once said, “I think slavery is the next thing to hell” (Tubman 30), and Douglass and Jacobs agree. Douglass’s Narrative of the Life and Jacobs’s From Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl share horrifying memories from their slave lives, including but not limited to physical and mental violence and inhumane treatments from abominable masters. While both authors describe and endure both types of violence in their narratives, there are subtle differences due to different situations, genders, and perspectives. Douglass seems to be focused on enduring the various forms of violence for his own independence, while Jacobs battles gender stigmas and violent oppressions for not only herself, but also her children.…

    Treatment of Women in “Othello” and “Trifles” Throughout history the handling of women has evolved. From the Victorian Era to the latter half of the nineteenth century many authors have championed the unfair treatment of women in books, poetry, short stories, and plays; however two authors have penned works worthy of comparison. In “Othello,” a maiden marries for love; however she is ultimately the fatal victim of her love. On the other hand, in the play “Trifles,” the downtrodden Minnie murders her abusive husband. Both Shakespeare’s “Othello” and Glaspell’s “Trifles” present the theme of patriarchal dominance through female characters who exemplify submission, victimization, and veiled strengths.…

    In the time period that John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi was written, women had absolutely no sexual agency. Divided into categories of Madonna or Whore, women had impossible expectations to live up to. While marriage is the one institution in which it is socially acceptable for a woman to be sexual, the play subverts this. That Webster has the Duchess’ brothers the Cardinal and Antonio’s critique her for remarrying makes the categories of Madonna and Whore indistinct, thus demonstrating policing woman’s sexuality is useless.…

    Gothic novels of the popular culture are usually interpreted to illustrate the subjugation of men and women, and frequently confront the anxieties encompassing gender and sexuality prospects in Victorian Britain. The Victorian era failed to make room for sexual candidness and gender distortion, and these ideologies are challenged in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Both novels were based around the Victorian era and both explore gender fluidity. The patriarchal views of the Victorian society imposed authority and domination of men over women and through these two texts; it is shown that the Victorian ideologies and prospects of society led to the discouragement of the two genders. Societal norms have transformed over time.…

    Supposedly based loosely on an erotic dream of Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ (1897) embodies one of the most fascinating and symbolically sexualised characters in English literature. Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ addresses Victorian anxieties regarding its women’s feminist awakening and breaking of patriarchal chains during the time and highlighted this fear in his novel. By focusing on these topics in his novel, Stoker, who was a staunch conservative Anglican and advocate of patriarchy, emphasises how women’s interests were leading to a dangerous change in the Victorian morality, and with the advent of the New Woman could hyperbolically eventuate in the complete destruction of English civilization. Throughout the Victorian period, men were becoming worried about women’s interests and what role they should play in society.…
