...disguise....'? This relates to Ibsen's 'A Doll's House'. I need to discuss this relationship but I'm unsure of what it means by 'sexuality'. Does this refer to the gender of the characters or the underlying sexual tones in the play? Any response from English experts would be a massive help!!
 
Is it possible that they want you to discuss this in broader terms? The role of dress in,for example, religion.
There is ample evidence to show that the present day nun's garb is a linear descendant of that of the Vestal virgins of ancient Rome and that in a great number of shamanic religions the shaman's ritual wear is actually female,thus rendering the wearer 'invisible' to malign spirits as well as facilitating the shift into the 'otherworld' by consciously breaking with the mores and conventions of their everyday world. I could write more but I don't know how relevant it would be.
 
OK I have a qualification in English Literature...but you are just as qualified as this question simply wants you to discuss YOUR idea of the relationship, there is no right and wrong interpretation. Sexuality being the practical ways you express your sexual appetite and interests.
