Literal analysis is crucial elements that help in critical analysis of the works of literature. In the context of the play ‘Goodnight Desdemona, good morning Juliet' is an n indication of a play that can be applied with the help of the theories. A vindication of the right of women according to Mary is evident in the play. Critically, we seek to understand the cries of women in the play and their representing to find out the root causes of their problems and the best way to curb them. Her thought indicates that women should have access to education to be able to commensurate their positions in the society.
Indeed women are essential in the society; it is a paramount that women are viewed as crucial elements in the society and to the nation as a whole. Restating the argument of Mary with the play pinpoints at the scenes were women are portrayed as weaker being in that they are subjected to unfair treatment not similar with that of men. Constance tries to decipher the ruining manuscript in the play but faces the challenge; she receives bad news that hindered her progress in making hypothesis. She becomes the character. It is an interesting way of approaching literal work as the classical theories. For example, Mary Wollstonecraft, one of the feminist activists in an effort to persuade women to be strong, intellect in both body and mind since the weakness subjects them to mistreatment (Wollstonecraft 497). In the play, the characters, for example, Constance faced challenges in writing her dissertation as her male counterpart was a discouraging individual instead of encouraging her. Ideally, Professor Claude critiqued Constance topic (MacDonald 14). She laments on her issues as she showed signs of giving up since she started throwing her possession in the wastebaskets, hence found her sucked into it.
Women indeed are useful Constance saved the life of Othello's wife. She intervenes by showing that Lago was tricking Othello. The case of the play' good morning Juliet' is an illustration of showing canonical text. The western society criticizes the death of a woman; Desdemona died in mysterious and unfair manner. The controversy surrounding her death indicates the way the society follows up the cause of death of a woman. Focus need to be emphasized in an effort to addressing the concerns of women as pointed out by Mary in claims that women should not be traded in marriage. Instead women be treated as human being who have the right to existence and similar rights like those of men. The society indeed is subjective, considering the encounter the women undergo. In the play, the characters portray a scenario where they are subjected to difficulties were their influence in decision making is tainted as the society is male dominated. Shakespeare sets a stage where one would see the scenario of love at first sight, the invocation of comedy. Professor' responses to Constance pushed her to declare her religion that 'it has fallen', and this could mean decisions she makes. It is essential that she considers apologizing to her or make up for her as the comments were degrading.
Arguably, the play surrounds on the power bestowed to men in expense of women. The professor looks down upon Constance; you have such a little mind' and unwittingly Constance response' Thank you for sir' ((MacDonald 21). It is critical to not that women power tend to be infringed. Since we expect retaliation from Constance concerning the degrading, the professor says of her. The pressure mounted on women to be submissive to men is evident in the play. The professor tells Constance that she is of lesser mind and would not handle the chores assigned to her. The society indeed is retrogressive in handling the concerns meant to encourage women become of good substance in the society (MacDonald 34). As a matter of fact, Mary indicates that the beauty of women and personality needs absolute encouragement. This will help them focus in the outward accomplishment and attain more. Mary's arguments, however, does not indicate that men and women are equal. It rather shows that men and women are equal in the eyes of God (Wollstonecraft 499). Therefore, it is not necessary to bring out the differences concerning their performance and achievements. The disguise that was portrayed by Romeo, Juliet, and Constance show the perception concerning love. Each tries to woo the other in the name of love. Betrayal is evident, since Juliet is supposed suitor to Romeo but still acts in each other's clothing in an effort to woo Constance. They storyline seeks to find out the real ‘wise fool' and yet Juliet had used this to woo Constance in disguise to give her a kiss. This brings out the illusion that exists between the characters since they portray betrayal.
Conclusively, it is apparent that women in the society are depicted differently. The arguments of Mary in her theories help understand the literal works in the sense that the issues highlighted concerning women and the struggle to achieve their rights is depicted. The play, therefore, acts as a good literal work that helps highlight the plight of women in the society. The feministic struggles by Mary have seen the establishment of gender equality and equality in collaboration with the human rights.
