Assess how men's attitudes to women are represented based on the dialogue in the play. Cite at least two textual evidence to prove your point.

Sought after women were either worshiped or scorned. There was no grey area here. This is sometimes known as the "Madonna/whore" complex. We see this in many of Shakespeare's plays. Othello worships the ground Desdemona walks on. When he finally acquires her, and her reputation is put to question, Desdemona becomes a common strumpet and deceiver. This is carried out largely by Romeo as he worships the unattainable. His soliloquys and asides raise Juliet to goddess status.
