Directly from the start of this passage men are shown to be more courageous and powerful than woman. The conversation that the young girl has with the colonel shows how society idolizes men to always be a better than women‚ the term she uses to describe women being inferior “jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era” is a very common and coherent example all of us have been hearing for a long time.
