    Uploaded by

    This article analyzes how Aphra Behn's play "The Rover" from 1677 depicts rape and the experience of women. It explores how the play uses scenes of sexual assault to examine women's lack of agency and status in society at the time. While the play treats rape lightly, it provides insights into changing attitudes about women's sexuality and autonomy in the late 17th century in England.
