Little Big Man

to present day, there has always been a division between men and women. Back then it seems the wives were expected to take care of the house, and the husbands were always the dominant one of the relationship. The man appears to always be right while the woman needs to appreciate the man because he provides for the household. Both Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” and Henry Isben’s play “A Doll’s House” portray how women struggle in marriages. Nora Helmer, the…

gently when she might well quarrel with him instead, because that will only make him like her better” (Genji 26). This is different than that of Kyogen women, who outwardly and unabashedly display their anger at a moment’s notice with little regard for how the man will think of her. Some negative qualities seen within chapter 2 of The Tale of Genji that do not apply to Kyogen women would be the over-eagerness to please. Kyogen women do not typically have this trait due to their character…

“Frailty, Thy name is women”, one of “Hamlet’s” most well known lines, when you think about it ; Is the name truly thy men? One of the main issues to be brung upon in “Hamlet” is how male-centered the viewpoint is. It is so build upon the one gender that it even displays male dominance throughout the whole book. For example (act three, scene two,1622) the conversation between Hamlet and Ophelia during the Mousetrap scene. Hamlet asks Ophelia can he lay in her lap, she simply says no and he…

This causes conflict when the man and women are trying to converse because the man may just sit silently as the women speaks. He is listening, but the woman does not believe so because he is not responding. This is because when girls talk to girls they usually make listener-noise. I noticed this when talking to my girlfriend; she would constantly maintain eye contact and remained lively in conversation.
