119 Words1 Pages
Throughout literature a character’s gender has played a major part in their role of the story. These gender-specific stereotypes exist throughout literature going as far back as The Iliad to more modern literature such as Harry Potter. There are always characters that don’t follow what society deems as their role and these types of characters tend to influence the story in a greater way. Inside The Iliad and Harry Potter there exist ideal male roles, female roles, and characters that don’t follow the normal roles of society. Both stories have their own definitions of what roles are suitable for each gender and in a way reflect the change in how the real world society views these roles over time.
