HW

Background for understanding:  (The idea of “The cult of True Womanhood,” or “the cult of domesticity,” sought to assert
that womanly virtue resided in piety, purity, submissiveness, and domesticity- The attributes of True Womanhood, by which
a woman judged herself and was judged by her husband, her neighbors, and her society could be divided into four
cardinal virtues - piety, purity, submissiveness, and domesticity... Without them.... all was ashes. With them she was
promised happiness and power.). True Women were to hold the four cardinal virtues:
1. Piety - believed to be more religious and spiritual than men
2. Purity - pure in heart, mind, and body
3. Submission - held in "perpetual childhood" where men dictated all actions and decisions
4. Domesticity - a division between work and home, encouraged by the Industrial Revolution; men went out in the world to
earn a living, home became the woman's domain where a wife created a "haven in a heartless world" for her husband and
children.
 Female Characters:

She is also unconventional because in court she told her father straight up that she is married to othello and that othello did not do any form of witch craft to have her for himself. 
In Act 1 scene 3 " i do perceive here a divided duty....." is where she told her father the truth.

Assignment 1

1. What rules dictate the behavior of men and woman in relationships today?
In a realtionship the man or the woman have the same amount of responcibilties and the same goes or the way people are suppose to behave. An example of how we are suppose to act in a realtionship is being loyal and not cheating on the other partner. Another is no violence, no hitting or hurting of any kind. These are basic rules of a relationship because ot involves safety of another human being as well as te feelings of others.

2. Name a situation in which the rules have been clearly violated. That is, what things " nice girls" or "nice boys" just don't do?
A realtionship in which certain rules in a relationship have been violated was in a well know case between Rihanna and Chris brown. This was when he hit her on a car ride.
A "nice girl" is a girl who would never do anything to hurt another person, mentally or physically. A "nice boy" is someone who does the same.

3. Why do these rules exist? Do you think they apply locally or just in school?
These rules exist for the benifit of others. I think it's important because when rules aren't set In a relationship people don't go crazy because of feelings. These rules areset everywhere. Not just in school but being a good person in society And following the rules makes you a good citizen.
