My main question is about the gender roles set for women and men during this time period. Women have always been the gender discriminated against throughout history, even today, but it was especially terrible back then. Why should a woman have to pay money to her husband on their day? Why should a woman be denied access to reading and learning? Why does a woman have to marry someone they may not be in lover with just because her parents want her to? Why does a woman's only purpose seem to be to have babies and serve the men? Women are much, much more than that. Men treated their own mothers, sisters, and aunts differently, but why? Women have the same exact capabilities as men, but why didn't they realize that in earlier
