Analysis Of Of Mice And Men And Oliver Twist

Women of today or of the 21st century have the privilege of working, having an opinion and the right not to be ruled by men. However, women from the 19th and the 20th centuries were dependent on men, because only men were able to work good wages.

This tells readers how men have no respect for women because she is called a ‘tart’ which means a slut, and conveys the idea that women were thought in a misogynistic manner by males in the 20th century. In the Victorian era, women were supposed to be properly attired and dressed ladylike.
