Tamar and the Patriarchy: A Feminist Analysis of Genesis To the modern day reader‚ The Bible greatly exemplifies an oppressive patriarchal social structure. Women are often raped and otherwise objectified with no consequence. Typically in the Bible‚ when a woman is a victim of misfortune due to her husband or father ’s lack of virtue‚ God has little pity for her‚ as she is portrayed as something owned by one or the other.

multi-layered piece of literature with many overarching themes. One of the least thought of themes in the modern conception of Frankenstein is feminism. However‚ feminism subtly pervades the entire novel. The story of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley explores feminist themes through the characters of the story‚ plot development‚ and the setting the novel. Frankenstein is riddled with passive female characters who suffer throughout the novel. Not one female character throughout the novel ever exhibits behavior

women were still not seen as fully equal. For example‚ “Our yoke and sufferance show us womanish” (1.3.85). William Chiarelli 7 Shakespeare was influenced by his own culture and that of the Roman culture when the play was written. Therefore‚ the feminist and new historicism approach both acknowledge the fact that sexism existed in both Ancient Rome and old English times. 5. BRUTUS.

people snarl at the word Feminist and while I used to shy away from calling myself one I now proudly accept it. I AM A FEMINIST AND I’M PROUD. I value my feminist views and defend them whenever people attack them. My values changed a lot due to my feminist views as I saw the way women were being treated and the way I was taught was the correct way for me to be treated and realized I wasn’t placing enough value on women and more specifically on myself. My values as a feminist made me realize I needed
