Abstract

The English author, Jane Austen, once said, "In every power, of which taste is the foundation, excellence is pretty fairly divided between the sexes." Throughout history, certain roles have been assigned to men and women based on what society deems acceptable. Since the beginning of human existence, women have assumed the role of nurturer; sacrificing themselves for the sake of their family, and guiding their loved ones through obstacles. However, men have been cast in the roles of provider and protector; therefore, men generally possess a more aggressive personality, and they often lack the ability to truly empathize with those around them because they learned to suppress their emotions. Nonetheless, throughout the movie, The horseman on the roof, the main characters Pauline and Angelo, battle with, and often times break through, gender barriers, showing that the restraints put on the behavior of men and women are unfair to both sexes in that they do not allow either gender to develop a full array of emotions.
