How do the authors we’ve read describe or play with either ideals of masculinity or femininity?

How do the authors we’ve read describe or play with either ideals of masculinity or femininity? (Please choose only one of these.) Compare and/or contrast between 1) one or two poems we have studied, 2) Antigone, and 3) the selections from the 1001 Nights we read. How do the characters engage with and/or subvert (i.e. undermine the power of) either societal ideals/stereotypes of femininity (what it means to be a “woman”) or masculinity ( what it means to be a “man”). Specifically, which characters embody these ideals or subversions, and how? Write an essay of approximately 800-1000 words, and don’t forget to write about 1001 Nights, Antigone, and a poem or two from the selection from the first unit. You must use quotations and format your essay according to the guidelines provided earlier.
