Answer:
The correct answer choice from the options here, to answer the question: How could the characters´ differing views of arranged marriage be analyzed from a historical perspective and from a feminist perspective?, would be: A historical perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the story is set. A feminist perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women.
Explanation:
Historical perspective takes care of how historical events, historical background, including factors such as culture, affect the development of those events. The feminist perspecive, rather studies how different situations, both historical and otherwise, have affected women negatively throughout cultures, traditions, history and religions. In this case, the correct answer is the first one because the historical perspective would look at the event being narrated in the story of "Marriage is a Private Affair", evaluate when such a thing took place and where and then it would see that in the particular culture and time at which the story takes place, such an event as arranged marriages was normal, and even acceptable. But the feminist perspective would not care about traditions, beliefs, or cultural and historical background. It would simply see that arranged marriages undermined the rights of women by limiting, or completely obliterating, their choice.
