.... by God. She did not have the desire to break out of the repression of morality; instead, she upheld the moral code that caused her miserable life. Only in the end did Tess fight back and kill Alec, but she did not do it for her own liberation but for the love of another man. Hardy implied the idea that women were always subordinate to men. He applauded Tess for learning and upholding Angel's believes and gave Tess no believes of her own Like Flauber and Hardy, Tolstoy was a moralist. From the beginning to the end, Tolstoy's heroine was consumed by her own moral believes. Anna, like Emma, wanted more than what society of .....

.... and lands Odysseus visited that were inhabited by mortals were dominated by men. In The Odyssey women are unequal, treated differently, and are considered inferior to men. Throughout the epic women are not given an appropriate amount of respect by men. The male characters of The Odyssey expect certain traits and characteristics of women that they do not expect of themselves. Men expect that the women in The Odyssey be loyal to them, and not be adulterous or seductive. When Odysseus returns to Ithaca in disguise, he expects Penelope to be faithful and loyal to him. It is doubtful that Odysseus would have stayed with Penelope if .....

.... be made between the sexes. Most women agreed with me and felt the sexual tension apparent in the story. This sexual tension was quiet and sensual. The only men that picked up on this picked out some overtly sexual innuendoes and chose to ignore the subtleties as Eliza's mood changes and tone of voice. The other men attributed any sexual tension to Eliza's need for children, which is a valid point, but it ignores too many other things in the story to fit it well. I found the words of R.S.
