.... based on gender in this scene, since they both spoke their mind in the company of men. Act I, Scene III, between Juliet, her mother and the nurse shows the formality that Juliet has with her mother. Juliet calls her mother Madam and behaves very submissive and obediently. Lady Capulet is very detached from Juliet’s upbringing, which is obvious by the lack of knowledge regarding her child’s age. The nurse raised Juliet and breast-fed her as an infant.

.... a paragraph saturated with words of strength and authority: sturdy, supercilious, enormous, and aggressive, to name a few. Tom’s physical body is described as “cruel” and this describes more than just his body, but his demeanor as well. His voice, “…a gruff husky tenor…” (11), added to his rough image.

Similarly, Beneatha does not believe in Walters aspirations of becoming a rich entrepreneur, and thinks he is rather foolish, incapable, and will resort to any means to make money. "Oh, God! Where is the bottom! Where is the real honest-to-God bottom so he can’t go any further!" (142). Beneatha is referring to the fact that Walter plots and schemes get more ridic .....
