The Feminist revolution that women fought have turn both sexes against each other. According to the…

Maybe these two things were things from different time periods, so it was inferred that they had to be quite different. In this paper, two stories from different time periods’ themes will be compared and contrasted. Although some people may believe that stories written in different time periods can’t have similar themes, they can…
