WEEK 9: Women in "Macbeth"

 
In the Renaissance era women weren't considered equal with men. Women weren't able to own property. Men were allowed to beat their women as long as they didn't kill them.
The Macbeth family didn't support the Renaissance era because they didn't have children. All family in the era had children and wanted more.  The men in the era were always the dominant ones and their wives weren't their equal but Macbeth thought of his wife as his equal that had the same power as him.
