To what extent do you agree that in “Othello” Shakespeare presents women as the tragic victims of men?

In such a male dominated society‚ Shakespeare presents the women in the play as tragic victims at the hands of their husbands‚ in particular Desdemona and Emilia. Throughout this essay I will relate to the Aristotelian and Senecan descriptions of tragedy to

Chair‚ members of the house‚ This house believes that women and men should not co-compete in all sporting events and we will argue this motion for several reasons. We all want to watch fair and entertaining sporting events‚ so is it fair to tell every sports viewer that the rules and regulations are going to have to change? That the quality of most sporting events will decrease for no purpose at all? Equality in sports is an issue‚ but men and women co-competing is not the answer to it. Physiologically

Smith The Wage Gap between Men and Women The ongoing problem women face in society is being victim of the wage gap in jobs where they hold the same or greater positions as men. Things like the Equal Pay Act were designed to rid society of the inequalities in the work place. Women are continuing to be paid less than men in jobs where they hold equal prestige.
