The main theme these two poems have is the idea that woman are simply inferer to men in most aspects of everyday life. While they are presented in different ways and tones, they both embody the idea that woman have certain roles in life and are uncapable of preforming certain tasks that men are supposed to do.
In thw poem, "Women," i felt as if the way women were percieved was through the most generic, classic lens that society was grown overtime. Basically with the idea that woman were meant for very specific things, loving and caring for theor men. They would never be at all capable of doing any labor, or jobs our society percieves as "the man's job." It really set the idea that not only couldnt't we do anything, but we just honestly would never want to anyway.
The second poem, "The Queen and the Young Princess," it was presented more as a story, which i liked. The young princess wanted to go out and experience the world, but her mom has played into the same old story as woman have throughout time. That woman have certain roles in society and simply cannot handle the real world such as a man can. The queen i think doesn't WANT to hold her daughter from the world, but she is just trying to be realistic with her. I felt as if in a way, the queen had almost "given up." She begins to realize that more i think watching the spunkiness and desire in the princess.
