While it is clearly seen that Gertrude and Jocaste use their sex for survival, I can’t help but wonder why they use their sex. To me, sex is something important and something that shouldn’t be used as loosely as it is used in the plays. In addition, I also believe that people who use their sex are inherently weak.
To elaborate, if someone uses sex to get what they want, the first thing that I think is they are weak. I have reasoning behind this belief though. I feel that sex is a last resort. Why wouldn’t someone use something other than there sex to get what they want such as, a talent, money or anything else. It just seems as though sex is the easy way out and the only way out for the women in the plays we have recently read.
Now, I’m not saying that these women aren’t smart to use their sex to get what they want, but I personally believe that there is always another method to get what you want. I guess you could say it is kind of taboo to me.
