Gender criticism is an extension of feminist literary criticism, focusing not just on women but on the construction of gender and sexuality, especially LGBTQ issues, which gives rise to queer theory.

Crafting a top-notch reaction, review, or critique paper goes beyond summarizing the content of the material being analyzed. It involves critical thinking and effective writing skills to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the ideas presented. Mastering the art of critical thinking and effective writing is essential to producing a well-structured and articulate response. The process involves identifying the main points, arguments, and evidence presented, assessing their validity and relevance, and organizing thoughts coherently.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

2. To know the significance of studying Gender Criticism.
To understand how gender generally influences the works
of literature.
To identify the different approaches of Gender Criticism.
To know some of the authors and literary works involved in
Gender Criticism.
4. What is Gender Criticism?
Gender criticism examines how sexual identity influences the
creation, interpretation, and evaluation of literary works.”
(Kennedy, 2071)
Because literature is timeless, Gender Criticism greatly
influences the way society views gender differences. Therefore, it
examines how an author may have influenced gender perception
through a work of literature.
5. Purpose of Gender Criticism
-to criticize gender as we commonly conceive it.
Essentialism - concentrates of the differences between
men and women and their bodies.
Constructionism - concentrates in the differences being
related to nurture not nature
6. Approaches of Gender Criticism
Masculinist (recently advocated by poet Robert Bly)
-an ideology of masculinity; and ideology opposed to, or
opposed by feminism.
Feminist
-a social theory or political movement arguing that legal and
social restrictions on females must be removed in order to bring
about equality of both sexes in all aspects of public and private life
7. Historical Background
In 1960’s, the gender criticism approach began when
feminist criticism arose. There are definite differences
that have been noted between gender criticism and
feminist criticism. The difference is sex and sexuality.
Gender Criticism is based on common conceptions of
gender.
8. Feminist Criticism
Takes as a central precept that
the patriarchal attitudes that
have dominated western thought
have resulted, consciously or
unconsciously, in literature “full
of unexamined ‘male-produced’
assumptions.” Feminist criticism
attempts to correct this
imbalance by analyzing and
combatting such attitudes…
9. Other goals of feminist critics include “analyzing
how sexual identity influences the reader of a text”
and “examining how the images of men and women in
imaginative literature reflect or reject the social
forces that have historically kept the sexes from
achieving total equality.
10. Gender Criticism is present in literature
as the time of learning to read.
The image shown illustrates the typical roles
of males and females.
11. After outgrowing the childhood reading, Americans are able to
see the effects of gender in William Shakespeare’s work.
Ophelia is consumed with
an actual madness since she
perceives that she has a
problematic relationship.
Her madness escalates with
the death of her father
Polonius. Hamlet however,
exhibits a pretend sense of
madness resulting from a
plan to avenge his father’s
death.
William
Shakespeare
12. Emily Dickenson
Her first work was published in
1890 four years after her death.
Her work was found after her
death in 40 volumes of nearly 1800
poems. There are many of Emily’s
poems that are important in
gender criticism movement.

13. I felt a Funeral, in my Brain (280)
Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading – treading – till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through –
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum –
Kept beating – beating – till I thought
My Mind was going numb –
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space – began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange
Race
Wrecked, solitary, here –
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down –
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing – then –
14. Europe
Emperially-mined European women, like others in North
America, sometimes operated from the same assumption of
superiority when they founded the first international
women’s group.
International Council of Women (1888)
International Women Suffrage Alliance (1904)
Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
(1915)
15. What has caused the continued gender
role differences??
Picture of the entrances to
the restroom.
At early ages children
learn that males wear
pants and women wear
dresses.
16. Strategies for Gender Criticism
1. Consider the gender of the writer, what role does gender play in his
work?
2. Examine whether the reading of the work may be altered by the changes
in gender roles over time.
3. Observe how gender stereotypes might be reinforced or undermined.
4. Consider the gender of the characters, and what role gender plays in
this work?
5. How is the relationship between men and women depicted?
6. How does the treatment of gender in the work reflect the work’s
meaning?
17. Other attributes to gender criticism of could be the
deficiency of female authors until the 20th century.
Historically female education has been inferior to that
of males. After the 19th Century women were more
frequently allowed admission to colleges and
universities. The amounts of women that attain
master’s degree and doctoral degrees also have risen.
“The resulting stereotype that “a woman’s place is in
the home” has largely determined the ways in which
women have expressed themselves.”
