Answer 1

Do Google Image for "Mary I," aka "Bloody Mary," "Mary Queen of Scots," and "Elizabeth I." These were the "Monstrous Regiment of Women" that John Knox complained about. Many rank Elizabeth I as the best ruler England ever had (google "best ruler" & "Elizabeth I).

Answer 3

i found this on a website click links below for help.

throughout history the role of women has been heavily debated. Women have had to struggle for the rights they have today, even if some of us may still question if women really do have the same rights as a man. Whether it was getting the right to vote or even being able to join the work force, women have earned their place in society today.

There are many avenues that you could take to see and understand the role of women throughout history. For this essay, we will look at William Shakespeare's Othello to see how he interputs women. There are three women in this play we can focus on. They are Desdemona, Bianca, and Emilia. As the story unfolds the roles of these women are set forth

The first women that I will discuss is Bianca. Bianca would be known as a modern day prositute. By analizing her relationship with Cassio, it seems as though Bianca really wanted to have some sort of relationship with him. An example of this is in scence 3,act 4. It begins as Desdomona and Emilia exit as Bianca enters. Bianca begins to question Cassio about his whereabouts.

"Bianca: 'Save you, friend Cassio! Cassio: What make you from home? How is't with you, my most fair Bianca? (I'faith,) sweet love was coming to your house. Bianca: And I was going to your lodging, Cassio. What,keep a week away? Seven days and nights, Eightscorce eight hours, and lovers'absent hours More tedious than the dial eightscorce times? O weary wreacking! Cassio: Pardon me, Bianca. I have this while withthis leaden thoughts been pressed, But I shall in a more continuate time Strike off this sorce of absence. Sweet Bianca, Take me this work out."(page 165 lines 190- 204)

It is then that Cassio gives Bianca a "token" of his love. Upon reciving this "token", Bianca becomes highly offended. She then acusses Cassio of having anohter lover.I find this very hard to believe. How could Bianca of all people have the nerve to question someone's loyalty,whenit is her lack of loyalty that earns her money.The relationship between Bianca and Cassio is purely physical. Their relationship would fit the general sterotype, that women are only good for one thing.An example of this,lack of care, is when Iago and Cassio are talking about the relationship between Cassio and Bianca. "Iago: She gives it out that you shall marry her. Do you intend? Cassio: Ha,ha,ha!"(page 179 lines 135-136)" Cassio: I marry(her?)What a customer?Prithee bear some charity to my wit! Do not think it so unwholesome. Ha,ha, ha!"(page 179 line 140) In the end we never find outwhat becomes of Bianca. However we can assume that she continues her lifestyle. Whether or not that includes Cassio is left a mystery, only Shakespeare knew what became of them.

Emilia would be a very difficult character to evaluate. Throughout the book you see her personality come out. Emilia seems to be a very rebellious person in a sense. Of all the women she seems to be the one with the most intelligence. Emilia has experienced more in her lifetime. She is begining to understand her role as a wife towards her lord(husband). This is act 4, scence 3, where Emilia is talking to Desdemona about husbands. " Yet we have some revenge. Let husbands kknow Their wives hvae sense like them. They see, and smell, And have thier palates both for sweet and sour, As husbands have. What is it they do When they change us for ohters? Is it sport? I think it is. And doth affection breed it? I think it doth.Is't fraility that thus errs? It is so too. And have not we affections, Desires for sport, and fraility, as men have?"(page 217 line 104-113). By just reading this short passage, you can tell the kind of character Shakespere intended for Emilia to be. In my personal opinion, Shakespeare wanted to keep the readers in anxiety about the relationship between Emilia and Iago. As you read the story, you get the idea that Emilia has to fight to get her husband's attention, or you could even say his approval.However by the end of the story she pays for her personality triat with her life. It wasn't till the end of the story when she realized that her mistress was dead, her own folly in loving her husband and seeking his approval.

The final womman I am going to talk about is Desdemona. Desdemona can be classifed as the victim of the story. Shakspeare portrays her as the devoted wife even up to the point of death. All throughout the story, Desdemona appears to live for her husband. Desdemona's one goal in life is to please her husband to the fullest.There are severals sections within this book, that can possibly back up my thesis.The first qoute that I will use is.Desdemona:You indeed may say so,For t'was that hand that gave away my heart.

After reading this book, you may be able to draw many conculsions about the role of women.During Shakspere's lifetime women were only seen as objects. If Shakespere were alive today he would be very surprised to see how far women have come. Women are no longer just objects used to fulfill the pleasures of men, but women have become much more. They have become devoted wives, loving mothers and whatever else their imaginations allow them to think up.
