  • Essay / The Fall of Women Throughout History - 3179

    Across the world, women have been considered second-class citizens, especially in British culture. However, were women really submissive to men or only in tradition? Women were treated unfairly towards men, referring to the Bible with Adam and Eve. Eve was tempted by the serpent to eat the fruit of the tree, even though God had commanded her not to do so. Women were considered weak and foolish by men because Eve did not obey the Lord. In the Bible it is clearly stated that “for Adam was formed first, and then Eve.” / And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, transgressed” (1 Timothy 2:13-14). Men were created before women; also that Eve was responsible for the fall because she was the one who had been deceived. In the book of 1 Timothy it says: “Let the woman learn in silence, in all submission / But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over a man, but to be in silence” (2:11-12). ). In the Bible, women were seen as having no power, or even speaking about it. Men, as the stronger sex, have responsibilities towards women; however, they do not implement them. As a result, men establish that women are to be seen as unheard, weak, powerless, rightsless, pure, etc., and yet they are the ones who tempt women into attempting to achieve such things. Then, whether or not the woman succeeds in obtaining power or satisfying her natural urges, she experiences a downfall, demonstrating that women must “stay in their place.” However, as the years pass, more and more female writers emerge, the stories begin to change; they still show women falling victim to various male temptations, but they also demonstrate how a woman can rise above this and save herself, or another.
