Explore the role of women in two of the texts read this first half of the semester. What roles do they play in the stories? This is a comparison/contrast essay, so illustrate the subtle similarities and differences in how women function in the two texts. Do some women stand out as proto-feminist figures (advocates for women’s power and freedoms) or do they all perpetuate a traditional (and oppressive?) status quo? Use speeches, descriptions, behaviors, and plots to develop your argument. Present a clear and interesting thesis.
