The portrayal of women in The Epic of Gilgamesh, A Doll’s House, and The Iliad leaves room for the interpretation of how women were viewed in the context of these cultures. How do you describe the roles of the women in these stories? Choose ONE of the stories and write an essay discussing the roles of women depicted in the story of your choice. As part of your conclusion, tell whether the text leaves an image of women that should be challenged or should modern day readers leave contemporary views aside and read the text only as a piece of literature of the past.
