1. In this journal response, you will need to read Elizabeth Winkler’s “Was Shakespeare a Woman?” in The Best American Essays:2020.

Please refer McCarthy’s “All the Pretty Horses”, there are many female characters. John’s mother, John’s Texas girlfriend, and a couple of Mexican women…so start to form your own opinions about the roles of women in McCarthy’s fiction as well as McCarthy’s ability to create and realize female characters.3. In an MLA-style essay not exceeding 450 words, please discuss the following claims (you may agree or disagree with them):Male authors cannot create good or realistic female characters.Female authors cannot create good or realistic male characters.Cormac McCarthy’s female characters are not very interesting or realistic; therefore, it is safe to conclude that he doesn’t care as much about them as he does his male characters.4. The specific names, descriptions, and quotations from McCarthy’s narrative should appear in the essay.
