Female characters in this unit played roles of nurturers, temptresses, and guides for the male protagonists. For example, Eve in "Paradise Lost" is portrayed as both nurturing and temptress, guiding Adam towards sin. Penelope in "The Odyssey" is loyal and patient, waiting for Odysseus' return and serving as a symbol of fidelity. Ophelia in "Hamlet" is obedient, fragile, and ultimately driven to madness, highlighting the oppression and vulnerability of women in ancient times.
