The Submissive and Evil Women of the Bible The Bible and the church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of woman's emancipation. A famous 19th century feminist named Elizabeth Cady Stanton voiced this about her struggle for women's freedom. Women, considered a lower class than the men, wanted this subjugation changed.

Through the use of various feminine roles throughout the play, Shakespeare manages to portray how dramatically important the witches are, along with how imminent greed and power can eventually grasp hold
the essay is likely to be exclusive when it comes to the women in Shakespeare. Little attention had been given to the women of Shakespeare prior to the seventies feminist movement. The women in King Lear deserve attention just as women in every Shakespearean play do.

Goneril and Regan are believed to be vicious, evil women and Cordelia the small, sweet daughter and while this interpretation
Evil In Women and Its Effect on Macbeth "...My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man that function Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is But what is not." (1.3.140-143). Throughout Shakespeare's play, we see that Macbeth is the victim of evil seduction by women. In the above quote the evil is perpetrated by the witches.

Christina Rossetti, is about two sisters who go trotting along in the market and see fine fruits. Laura tries to help her sister by constantly telling her not to look at the “evil” men selling the evil fruits. The naive sister gives in and gets sick after eating bad goblin fruit, and is soon healed because of her sister's bravery. When women show bravery in literature it is often a big deal because it is uncommon for the woman to be the hero. “We must not look at the Goblin men; we must not buy their fruits”
though it was very one-sided. Taking all of the information given into consideration, before getting deeper into Fires of Faith, it was believed that Mary Tudor was completely evil and abused her power as Queen of England.

tales of Medea and Gilgamesh. Both tales tell their own views on Women, but also show each woman in their best and worst: The common, the priestess, the harlot, the wise, or just an evil witch. By analyzing and contrasting each woman one can see the view of women in ancient societies through the way stories detail them and their defining actions.
