ENG3UO: Macbeth Response to Literature Assignment

-      Gender roles follow a “natural” order is shown in the article, “In the Middle East, gender roles are messing with e-commerce shipping” Jake Flanagin.

-      The article written by Jake Flanagin, “In the Middle East, gender roles are messing with e-commerce shipping”, expresses the fact how a shipping company delivers their packages directly to their customers’ homes. When the customers are women, it makes situations tough because women cannot interact with men they don’t know and most employees are male. In Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, she is portrayed as a character who is more cruel, ambitious, and stronger than her husband. Macbeth implies that she basically is a male in a female body. Lady Macbeth also plans King Duncan’s murder but cannot literally do it because she is a female and wants a gender change. Written by

-      In the text some connections made to gender roles are, women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to drive automobiles. Today in most modernized countries, women have the right to drive just as men do. But, Saudi Arabia is the only nations where women cannot drive in the UAE. The law over there dictates that females must be accompanied by a mahram, which can be a father, brother, uncle or husband. So if the shipping companies hire women, they need to be accompanied by a mahram which can be difficult at some times. Also, the women cannot answers doors to men they do know of. This makes it difficult for the employers as they would have a hard time doing their jobs. Women in most countries can almost too any job and women don’t need a man to be with them at all times. They are capable to handle some situations, such as answering the door.
