How are the ways people view gender roles in maycomb different than the way we view gender roles today ? how r they similar ?

Maycomb is the fictional setting for the novel by Harper Lee “To kill a Mocking Bird” the way in which people on this fictional town see gender is mostly based on prejudice and bias, it is commonly read during the course of the novel that all female must behave in one way and all males in another. We can read the particular example of Scout Finch a girl who is not happy with this social conception of genders as presented in Maycomb. She is not happy with the concept iof having to be sweet, soft and polite all the time just because it is how girls must act. She is what now could be considered as a tomboy.

Today social stigma in regards to gender is not as strict as presented in the novel; most people do not necessarily expect a woman to be sweet, soft and all-polite. There is a more open mind these days about what a woman can be or act like, so, in that way, we can say that our society is different to the one presented in the Novel.

But there still is a sense or the “right” or more preferred way in which a woman is to behave or act. There is some degree of prejudice in our society. It is true that society accepts women with different behaviour to what it is “normal” or preferred, but we still encourage our little girls to dress, play and act more girly-like because it is better seen. We still buy soldiers to our boys, but little kitchen sets to our girls.  

i cannot see any of the options

agamemnon was the leader of the greek troops in the trojan wars and orestes was his son. when agamemnon returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. after a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. he killed his mother, but greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. there are a lot of similarities with the ulysses/telemachus father son pair. ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to troy. he still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. while penelope is faithful to ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring ulysses. in the same context, telemachus is asked just like orestes to restitution his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. athena is him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father
