Some words for ladies were acceptable in Shakespeare’s book some not and little choices like important stuff in there lives where not decided by the ladies was by the men.
The biggest choice that women could not choice was getting married and not getting jobs and going to school but the only thing was, looking after the children if there were married or be a maid which means looking after someone’s house. At that time if you had I child which was a girl you will teacher her how to paint and other stuff but meanly you will call someone to come and educate your child so that you could get a good husband and if you had an child which was a boy, that boy was lucky because boys in them days had more what, lots more power than the ladies in them days as William Shakespeare presents in some of his books like Romeo and Juliet etc.
The book about who want to get the biggest land.
When you read king lear the book you can see that Regan and Gonil are really fake and Gonil says there is no words to describe my love to the king know as there dad .Dut when you look at Cordelia she telling the truth she says no because when she gets married her love will be to hers husband and other love the dad, the reason it is shocking is because as a woman she would be acting as a gold -digger as are sister are doing ,not being sexes.
