as when the war started‚ women were challenged to take on traditionally male roles‚ upon return of the men‚ women were kicked out of their jobs and forced to once again take on the traditionally female roles. This was unfair and started the first feminist movement. Feminism was a significant part of a women’s life within the 1800’s to the 1990’s‚ but is it still relevant today?

Hamlet: Coward Many people proclaim Hamlet a hero‚ but I believe he stands as a coward who questions himself. Hamlet’s intellectual ability is superior to others‚ but there lies his weakness.

productions of Hamlet Act 1 Scene 4-5 from the ghost’s entry to Hamlet’s reaction: the 2009 version directed by Gregory Doran starring David Tennant and the 1990 version by Glenn Close starring Mel Gibson.

When I was reading the drama‚ A Doll’s House‚ I could instantly tell that the play would be best analyzed through the feminist perspective. The Feminist perspective centralizes on the actions and identifications of the female characters in a literary work. This perspective is mostly used to analyze the protagonist‚ which is Nora in this play; a pathological liar and manipulator. She acts as though she is innocent when regarding her actions‚ but she isn’t ignorant and knows that what she has committed
