Queer theory challenges the idea that identity is fixed and determined by a single characteristic like gender or sexuality. It recognizes that identities are complex and composed of many different factors. Describing a group with a broad generalization ignores individual differences. For example, saying "women are good cooks" assumes cooking ability is determined by gender alone rather than other attributes. Shakespeare's The Tempest reflects the gender norms of Elizabethan England when it was written. Miranda's value comes from her beauty and virginity. Her marriage is assumed to be the natural state for women and a means for her father's political goals, reflecting common practices among higher classes at that time.

Moral Criticism and Dramatic Construction (C&C)

Both philosophers had a major influence on Western art but there remains a debate on whether art should primarily teach or simply be enjoyed.

Terrorism
Terrorism can have significant mental health impacts on both direct victims and the general population. In the immediate aftermath of attacks, stress symptoms are very common but usually decline within a few weeks or months for most people. Direct victims are more likely to develop longer-term conditions like PTSD, depression, or anxiety disorders, with rates around 30-40% within two years. Children and those with prior trauma exposure are also at higher risk. While effects tend to be temporary for most, terrorism can still terrorize thousands or millions of people through fear and uncertainty. Mental health experts need to understand terrorism similarly to how doctors understand physical health threats.

Gender issues and queer theory
- 1. Gender Issues and Queer Theory
- 2. Queer Theory *Queer theory is basically the idea that ones identity is not a fixed thing and therefore does not determine who you are. Its implies that there is no meaning in talking about a group in general because peoples identities are made up of many different features and so to accept that people can be grouped as a collective because they share one characteristic is narrow minded. For example by saying ‘Women are good cooks’ is a sweeping statement that assumes this as being a woman is only one part of a persons identity. *www.theory.org.uk
- 3. Gender Issues Arabian views on females. Un-gendered children. (guardian/independent) Gendered words. (European languages) Transgender? Transsexual? Roles of women – Prospera, Ariel, Miranda>working mother Gender stereo types. – yorkie/jeans Media portrayals. Using sex to sell music/products. Sexism- suffragettes, feminism.
- 4. Gender Themes, The Tempest When this was written effects how different sexes were viewed. In Tudor times sexuality was fairly hushed because of teachings from the church and state. Ariel, is this character male or female??? Female name but more often than played by a male…this could be because in Elizabethan era actors were all male. He is often portrayed very effeminate. Prospero, in the Julie Taymor version Prospera was a woman…the ultimate working mother. Was very dominating strong character but she had a very mothering side for her daughter. This obliterates the stereotype of women being meek and submissive. Miranda, innocence. The ideal untouched woman, just discovering her sexuality. Represented as the heroine/lead female. “He [Prospero] essentially uses Miranda as sexual bait” Prospero coldly reminds his slave… “I have used thee, filth as thou art humane care, and lodged thee In mine own cell, till thou didst seek to violate The honor of my child.” (i.ii.348-351)
- 5. Gender Themes, in Shakespeare *Given the circumstances of the time Shakespeare's lack of strong female characters can be excused because of the time in which it was written. Woman are noticeably absent from Shakespeare's tempest due to the Elizabethan stage, however, logistically this does make sense as only men were legally able to step onto a stage. *2 “Everything in the tempest maintains the status quo and used as means of social control” Miranda has value because of her beauty and virginity. “oh if a virgin…I’ll make you Queen of Naples.” (37) The way Miranda (the sole female) is shown implies that the only way love and happiness can be found is if you are pure and beautiful. This would be a widely held view of women at the time. Marriage, in the play, is assumed to be the desirable and natural state for all young women. Miranda is being used by her father for political purposes. This sort of coerced marriage would be common among the higher classes in the time that this was written. *www.sites.duke.edu/english *2 www.sunlinepress.com.au
