Paper Summary:

The paper explains how the plays of John Ford ("'Tis Pity She's A Whore"), Thomas Heywood ("A Woman Killed With Kindness") and John Webster ("The Duchess of Malfi") show that the evolution of English drama evolved in a similar pattern to the religious and social injunctions of society.

From the Paper:

"The religious and social injunctions during the eras when "Tis Pity She's A Whore," "A Woman Killed By Kindness" and "The Duchess of Malfi" were ones that greatly restricted female expression and clearly and rigidly defined roles for them deemed appropriate by the Church and social institutions. During Elizabethan England, patriarchy reached its pinnacle. Men maintained enormous control over women due to religious and social injunctions that permitted such control."
