Answer 1

They illustrate the changing role of women in history.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Act 1, Scene 1, of the play, we see Egeus who is the father of Hermia, had come to the courts of King Theseus to revoke the ancient privilege of Athens.

In Act 1, Shakespeare has portrayed the changing role of women. Now women can speak for herself and fight for her love.

From the dialogue of Lysander, we can see that he is asking Demetrius that if she is herself saying that she does not love him, then he should leave her and let him marry her.

So, the correct answer is the last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream shows different resolute ladies whom were limited by society. In spite of these limiting conditions these decided females battled for what they really wanted.

Despite seemingly insurmountable opposition they stood firm and stood firm for the sake of genuine love.
