Technique should enrich the action... The beauty of image and movement, the rhythm, and the effects- everything must be subordinate to the purpose”.…

“The Type” by Sarah Kay is a poem that analyzes how women are being categorized into objects and how they need to break away from being someone they are not into someone they can create for themselves.

Susan McClary believed, that as film and media continue the discourse on gender identities today, early-modern opera was a pioneer in the construction of gender identities to the public sphere. The construction of gender became necessary when presented portrayals of the world had to differentiate between male or female characters, as one sex could play the other. These constructions were shaped by the time and place in which the work was presented. The issue on how to represent women was controversial during Monteverdi’s time as perspectives on the female rhetoric were divided. McClary analyses Monteverdi’s L'Orfeo and believes that men had a more provocative stage presence while women had to have an innocent portrayal to remain attractive…
