Question

What evidence from the text best supports the theme that society places limits on the roles of women?

Answer 1

Answer:

“I took my charming little Capri maiden . . . on my arm.”

Explanation:

This excerpt from the text above shows that women were considered as weaker or precious vessels to be treasured and doted upon. Helmer, the man in this excerpt carried the maiden whom he described as charming and little into his arms.

The limit placed on women was that of not being expected to strain themselves or engage in anything hurtful. That was why Helmer doted on the lady who had danced her Tarantella so well.
