Abstract
Sex and Violence: A Way To Hold Women Down is based on the content of sex and violence in Jacobean drama and how is affected women. Were men intimidated by some of the power that women had? Was it a way to have control over them and hold them down? The goal of my paper is to answer these questions. Sex and violence is something of a taboo nature in how people view it. Sex, violence, and women is something that has always drawn in audiences, but were these women destroyed because men felt threatened by Jacobean women and their power or was it a way to hold them down?
