Comparing Margaret Cavendish’s The Description of a New World, Called t

Comparing Margaret Cavendishs The Description of a impudently World, Called the glare World and Sir Thomas more thans UtopiaThe so-called Utopia the quasi-perfect orderliness flourishes in Margaret Cavendishs The Description of a smart World, Called a Blazing World and Sir Thomas mores Utopia. While the former is a dreamlike account of fantasy rule and the latter a pseudo-realistic travelogue, both works paint a picture of humankinds that are not so perfect after all. These imperfections glitter like false gemstones in the paths of these Utopians phantasmal beliefs, political systems, and philosophical viewpoints. Religion and spirituality reach into the depths of the human header and strongly influence a nations way of life. In Margaret Cavendishs Blazing World, the Emperor and the inhabitants of the Blazing World idolise Margaret, who renamed herself Margaret the First. Highly revered as a deity by the people, Margaret is strike to discover that females do not have a high charge in the religious fabric of the Blazing World. Women are barred from religious assemblies, because it is promiscuous for men and women to be together during religious worship, so women must remain at home to worship in the privacy of their cortege (Cavendish 1767). Priests and governors are made eunuchs to safeguard them from women and children who, according to Margarets advisors, make similarly much disturbances in the church and in the state. In Sir Thomas Mores Utopia, women priests are highly regarded. However, churches here are also separate the men mystify on one side and while the women sit on the other(a). Aside from thinking that the peoples of the Blazing World are discriminate as Jews, Turks, or Christians because women are... ...r recognition should not exist, yet in Mores Utopia, these beliefs exist at the very heart of the citizens being. In both of the purported Utopian worlds, the imperfect religious traditions, rigid governing systems, and amiss philosophical beliefs mar what are otherwise model worlds for all other nations to imitate. Margaret Cavendish and Sir Thomas More, in their differing styles, are able to convey that no world is perfect, but there is room for change, for everyone can fabricate their own conceptional worlds and travelogues.Works CitedCavendish, Margaret.
