The view towards the non-virgin females

The view towards the non-virgin females
We discussed in class that in the medieval era, when a women is not a virgin anymore, they are socially looked down upon, and ‘useless’. This view was more clearly shown in Hamlet, when Ophelia would not leave Hamlet immediately. Also, famous medieval novels such as Scarlet Letter show such principles as well. This idea of looking down on women that lost ‘purity’ is not only present through dramas of medieval era, yet it is still clearly shown in modern era as well.
In modern society, when men sleeps around or makes out with numerous different women, it is not seen as too abnormal. Yet, sometimes people comprehend these behaviors as normal behaviors as well. Yet, the problem is that when women take same actions, the society looks down on them more severely. In the end, people stay away from such women and outcasts them from their social group. Although not as severe as the old days, women’s excessive sexual interactions with men, are still seen as one of the mores.
