Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew: A Critique of Gender Roles

This page presents a lengthy quote from William Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew," specifically Katherina's final speech. The passage vividly illustrates the expectations placed on women in Elizabethan society, portraying them as subservient to their husbands.

Quote: "Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, / Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee / And for thy maintenance..."

This excerpt encapsulates the patriarchal views of the time, highlighting the supposed duties of a wife to her husband. The speech goes on to compare women's obedience to that of subjects to a prince, further emphasizing the hierarchical nature of gender relations.

Highlight: The gender roles in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew are starkly portrayed in this monologue, providing a critical lens through which to examine historical attitudes towards women and marriage.

Jane Eyre: A Declaration of Equality

This page presents a passionate quote from Charlotte Brontë's novel "Jane Eyre," in which the protagonist asserts her equality and worth despite her social status and gender.

Quote: "Do you think I am an automaton? - a machine without feelings? ... I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal - as we are!"

Highlight: This powerful excerpt contains significant quotes from Jane Eyre about equality and spirit, emphasizing the novel's themes of female empowerment and the innate equality of all humans regardless of gender or social status.

Jane's impassioned speech challenges the societal norms that would diminish her worth based on her gender, poverty, and lack of beauty. She asserts her humanity, her soul, and her right to be treated as an equal.

Guerrilla Girls: Exposing Gender Bias in Art

The final page showcases a provocative poster by the Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous group of feminist activist artists. The poster, dated 1989, asks: "Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?"

Quote: "Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art Sections are women, but 85% of the nudes are female."

This striking statistic highlights the disparity between the representation of women as subjects of art versus their recognition as artists. The Guerrilla Girls use humor and shocking facts to draw attention to gender and racial inequality in the art world.

Highlight: This piece exemplifies how feminist artists in the late 20th century used provocative tactics to challenge institutional sexism and bring awareness to the underrepresentation of women in the arts.

Voir

Queen Elizabeth I: Defying Gender Expectations

This page features a powerful quote from Queen Elizabeth I, delivered in her speech to the troops at Tilbury in 1588. The quote demonstrates Elizabeth's strategic use of her gender to inspire her forces against the Spanish Armada.

Quote: "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too..."

Elizabeth acknowledges the perceived weakness of her female body while asserting her strength of character and right to rule. This rhetorical strategy allows her to both acknowledge and transcend the gender expectations of her time.

Highlight: Queen Elizabeth I's speech serves as a counterpoint to the submissive female role presented in Shakespeare's play, showcasing a powerful woman defying gender norms in a male-dominated society.

Voir

Highlight: The piece uses statistical data to expose institutional sexism in the art world.

Voir

Barbara Kruger: Challenging Identity

This page features a work by American conceptual artist Barbara Kruger. The piece consists of text overlaid on an image, stating "You are not yourself."

Highlight: Kruger's work challenges viewers to question societal constructs of identity, particularly those imposed on women.

The stark, bold text forces the viewer to confront the idea that our sense of self is often shaped by external forces and societal expectations. This piece aligns with feminist critiques of how women's identities are often defined by others rather than themselves.

Voir
