Why I Choose this Lens

I will be reading the book Beloved through the Feminist lens. I am particularly fond of the Feminist lens because I identify as a female and discovering the ways that females are portrayed in a patriarchy society reels my interest. Also, learning of the gender roles in different time periods appeal to my curiosity in historically analyzing the way the society functions. I believe that women should be equal to men in all situations. No gender deserves to be deemed less than the other. This lens that I view this book in is relevant to my life as well, because I live in a patriarchy type of society. I would directly be able to connect to females in the book that live in this type of world. I am hoping to deeply understand the way each gender is portrayed in this book and I am looking forward to finishing this book with a new outlook on society.
