    How Does Shakespeare Characterize Portia's Disguise

    Nowadays, men and women have equal opportunity to gain qualifications and to practice their talents but the age of Shakespeare set many boundaries for women. The notion that arrives from Portia’s disguise is that the court is part of man’s world and that woman is not allowed to participate even if she is more capable. There should not be an issue if she were to come to court with her womanly dress code or debate with her womanly tone but she cannot because social convention does not allow her to do so. Shakespeare can make it happen and can sketch Portia in the court without disguise but he also follows the convention and presents her keeping the real identity in veil of such an effective and intelligent woman.…

    Monteverdi Gender Roles

    The issue of gender is very much present in nowadays musicological debates. Researchers present their different views on the topic, which may be opposing in some cases. Just like popular music influences our perception of gender, classical music is also one of the most important genres to consider when talking about gender representation. We can recognize several patterns of gender representation also in Monteverdi’s operas and connect them with the society on the turn from Renaissance to early modern era, when patriarchal conventions slowly started to lose their impact.…

    Gender Roles In Christina Of Markyate

    Let Her Voice Be Heard: Patriarchal Control, and Traditional Gender Roles in “Christina of Markyate” and “Hildegard of Bingen” written by Anonymous Authors The Bible states, “Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet” (Timothy 2:11-12). Such courageous acts including, voicing one’s opinion, sharing beliefs, and expressing knowledge are just a few examples of what women could not do during the medieval ages. Like any other female during the third and beginning of the twelfth century, Christina of Markyate, formally known as Theodora, and Hildegard of Bingen are considered inferior to the male sex. Women are expected to respect the wishes of their parents, oblige to marry and live a life according to stereotypical heterosexual norms.…

    Women In Beowulf And Sir Gawain

    Throughout time, and especially during the middle ages, a woman’s role and position in the household as well as society was very much imposed upon being described as more at home and without a creditable opinion on important matters. But as time went on women became more educated and liberated developing strong opinions, being less confined, thus leaving the impression of women in traditional societies as being more “dangerous” or even “evil” as conveyed in Beowulf, Lanval, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and the Wife of Baths. During the mid-evil time period, the bible was seen as a huge source on how people and men especially saw gender roles and what was right from wrong. Since the beginning, they have used the bible in reference to women’s nature and have compared them to Eve and the apple and evidently saw women as prone to temptation, evil, untrustworthy, seductive, weak, acting purely on their own intentions and…

    I’m sitting alone in the front pew of the University of Virginia Chapel on a cold December night. In front of me there is a tall metal stand with a set of bongos perched precariously atop. Behind me sits the entire crowd of the sold out Virginia Women’s Chorus Candlelight Concert. When I arrived in Charlottesville months earlier, I could have never expected to be here. I have just finished performing a piece with the chorus minutes earlier, when a member of the chorus steps forward and addresses the audience to explain and introduce the next piece.…
