Question

how does this fact support the feminist ideas in the play?

• midnight assassin, patricia l. bryan and thomas wolf

options:

• it supports the idea that women were carefully protected by their neighbors.
• it supports the idea that women’s perspectives were not taken seriously.
• it supports the idea that women of the period often complained about their husbands.
• it supports the idea that women’s perspectives were respected and taken into consideration.

Explanation:

The fact describes a woman going to neighbors about her husband's behavior, but the context of feminist ideas in the play implies that such reports (women's perspectives) weren't given proper attention. Option A is incorrect as neighbors' protection isn't indicated. Option C misinterprets the action as "complaining" rather than a serious report. Option D is opposite to the feminist idea of unheeded women's views. So B aligns with the feminist theme of women's perspectives being dismissed.

Answer:

B. It supports the idea that women’s perspectives were not taken seriously.
