I would say that traditional gender roles for men and women are not relevant today. Gender roles have been around for years and they have always been labeled a certain way‚ but I’d say now that those labels have been broken.

I think Macbeth is still a relevant text for high school student. Why I think this is because Macbeth uses timeless themes and emotions in the story that some are still relevant today.
