The drama Emilia Galotti shows a picture of the society, in which women are dominated by men and don’t have necessary social value. In this society most men, especially the Powers, have sexual and degrading look at women and don’t respect them at all. The women in this tragedy are the second sex and under the subjection of the men. They are quite traditional, like Emilia and submit their self fully to others opinions, or like Klaudia try to pass the tradition or like Orsina have intellectual ideas, but also reflect the standards of the mail-dominated society in their thoughts and behaviors.
This drama has a feminist message for women: they should recognize their intrinsic value and don’t allow to become tools of debauchery of men and should think about events, of course, they should know that this is contrary to the wishes of men in the mail-dominated society and will certainly face resistance. They should seek their rights however it would look bad in the eyes of men.
