The author of the novel Neuromancer, William Gibson, forms a fictional world in which he creates men and women as equal according to Rebecca. I agreed with her assertion made after reading the beginning of the novel, but began to disagree as the plot developed. One of Rebecca\u2019s main points was that the equality between men and women created by Gibson, was portrayed through the character of Molly. Although, I agree that Molly was a dominant character in the novel and that her role in the story was as important as that of the protagonist Case, Molly had a countless number of implants that gave her, her supernatural abilities. Gibson made Case the main character without any surgeries while Molly had to have numerous alterations done to her to get on the same importance level as Case. Case\u2019s importance only came from his ability to enter the matrix and nothing else.<\/p>\n
In addition, Rebecca states that\u201d the women are at the same toughness level as the male characters\u201d however, as the story unfolds, it is discovered that Molly does have a fragile feminine side. We are made aware that Molly was once truly affectionate towards a boy named Johnny. It appears that Johnny had broken through the ice, like Case did in the matrix, and made it through to the sensitive Molly. The weaknesses of Molly become apparent as the novel reached its conclusion which made my idea of her change. Molly was also not the only female character in the novel and the other weak females like Linda Lee contributed to the fact that women were not equal to the men in the novel .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
