{{Quote|"Thus the woman, who had perversely exceeded her proper bounds, is forced back to her own position. She had, indeed, previously been subject to her husband, but that was a liberal and gentle subjection; now, however, she is cast into servitude."}} | {{Quote|"Thus the woman, who had perversely exceeded her proper bounds, is forced back to her own position.

{{Quote|On the first post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to women rather than to men: "I consider this was done by way of reproach, because they [the men] had been so tardy and sluggish to believe. And indeed, they deserve not only to have women for their teachers, but even oxen and asses ... Yet it pleased the Lord, by means of those weak and contemptible vessels, to give display of his power."|Commentary on the Gospel of John}} | {{Quote|On the first post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to women rather than to men: "I consider this was done by way of reproach, because they [the men] had been so tardy and sluggish to believe.

{{Quote|"Such duty as the subject owes the prince, | |||
Even such a woman oweth to her husband; | |||
And when she is froward, peevish, sullen, sour, | |||
And not obedient to his honest will, | |||
What is she but a foul contending rebel | |||
And graceless traitor to her loving lord? | |||
I am asham'd that women are so simple | |||
To offer war where they should kneel for peace; | |||
Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway, | |||
When they are bound to serve, love, and obey." |''The Taming of the Shrew'' Act V, Sc. 2. <ref>https://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/views/plays/play_view.php?WorkID=tamingshrew&Act=5&Scene=2&Scope=scene</ref>}} | |||
