Final review: Kluger

4. She criticizes judaism for its male dominated funeral rituals on page 30. How does this differ from waht we have read about sophocles' world?

Sophocles' world has no male dominance. In fact, Sophocles' world has a higher expectation for women during funeral rituals. Women are responsible to bring a person into a world, and therefore it is also their duty to "escort people out". A woman should be responsible for birth and burial.
