    Rewriting Contractual Ideas of Marriage: Abelard and Heloise, Pioneers of Courtly Love The union of people in marriage has slowly evolved into the institution we recognize today. Many modern ideas of marriage derive from religious traditions that reinforce patriarchal views through their practices. Author Ruth Mazo Karras's book, Sexuality in Medieval Europe, analyses literature to decipher societies in the Middle Ages. She portrays discriminatory attitudes surrounding marriage in medieval society, in which women "were subordinated by legal enactments as well as by church teaching" (86), and "the man was the head of the household and the woman should obey him" (85). Christianity's power over its communities solidified as "church succeeded…

The concept of marriage was taken very seriously by women and men because they were both affected by it. Marriage could either ruin your reputation (by marrying someone of a lower class) or support you (by marrying someone of the same or higher class). The novels of Pride and Prejudice and the Taming of the Shrew describe various marriages and inevitable factors that played key roles in shaping them. Social Statuses, the inferiority of women, and the purposes of marriage arrangements formed the marriages in Pride and Prejudice and the Taming of the Shrew.…

    Marriage, ideally, is love. Shakespeare ended all his comedies with happy weddings, yet Dorothy West does neither in The Wedding. For a novel titled The Wedding, there is a decided absence of an actual wedding ceremony, although that does not mean the novel is devoid of marriage. Nearly every of-age character in the novel is wedded, yet as the generations go by, the circumstances of marriage begin to drift farther away from its traditional association with love. The union of Isaac and the schoolteacher embody how love and marriage are not mutually inclusive in The Wedding.…

    Separation in ancient Roman Family The word “divorce” always has been a difficult word for me to speak out loud. The divorce itself was often treated as a sin in the society I was raised in. As I read through Susan Treggiari’s “Roman Marriage,” I started to wonder how the divorce was perceived in the ancient Roman society and where those divorced women stood on the issue. It is apparent the different social roles in ancient society had influenced them since this is the time period where it was considered normal for men to have all the powers and women to stay in and take care of the household.…
