    For whatever reason, writers tend to categorize female characters more strictly than they do male characters. Generally using the “Big 8” archetypes, women are placed into confining molds with little to no room for variation. Whether they play the role of the sweet, virginal Innocent or the plain and wise Sage, women, especially when written by male authors, rarely exhibit the same complex personalities as their male counterparts. Even worse, authors sometimes pervert these archetypes, exaggerating the worst qualities of each, as seen in Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.…

    Sexism is the root of many problems in society, and this paper is going to expose the root of many of the ideas about women that society has created. It is a reasonable assumption that many pieces of classic literature, read for many generations keep many negative stereotypes about women alive. Some examples of characters that embody these negative female stereotypes are Gertrude from Hamlet and Big Nurse from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Both of these novels include women in positions of authority, that lose a bit of their power because of the men surrounding them. Gertrude is ridiculed for being too expressive of her sexuality which seems to make the people of her kingdom believe she is not a worthy leader, while Big Nurse is ridiculed for the exact opposite.…

    In literature, the role and function of women varies depending on the author. Particularly in the past, there were playwrights who portrayed women as frail, passive figures to be only used as pawns for mistreatment from men. We can see this portrayal in William Shakespeare’s, Hamlet, as well as Arthur Miller’s, Death of a Salesman. The female characters in these two plays are to be considered as two-dimensional characters that only serve to help develop their male counterparts character. However, a closer study reveals that the true roles these female characters took on had purpose; for some, they were the most prominent characters of the play.…

Women at this time were seen as mere objects that acted as conciliation prizes for the gain of power and their sole use was for reproduction. Maintaining the duty of tiding the home and looking after the children, no outlet for an education or a chance to make a voice for themselves. Men acted as the leading voice in society, making all substantial decisions for women. The hierarchy of genders was ever so present and was based on the physical differences between men and women.…

    Epitome of Masculinity There is no grey area when dealing with the expectations of men and women in a tribalistic society; there is only black or white. Men and women are on completely different ends of the spectrum regarding how society perceives them. In the Igbo culture, men are considered the head of family and society while women are considered caretakers and are subordinate to men. Men are expected to have an active and aggressive personality while women, however, are expected to be subservient and passive. These expectations shape how society is supposed to be and influence the decisions of individuals.…
