Writing, literature and the portrayal of the sexes Where literature and society are concerned, excepting for fairy tales of the Cinderella type and some of what has come to be known as magical realist fiction, the presentation of the characters in works of literature will always be consonant with such characters’ position in society and the roles they play and value a particular society attaches to those roles. If there is a clear cut and rigid gendered, class, racial, etc. division of roles and lifestyle these will of necessity be reflected in that particular people’s literature.This is because, together with other forms of artistic expression, literature both embodies and shapes a people’s metaphysics i.e. their worldview.

As such alongside the ‘normal’ portrayal of characters and roles may exist characters that deviate from that norm.
