In writing an ssignment on men's attitudes towards women in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, a lot depends upon the depth and scope of your background study. If you are compiling notes, or character sketches, I would keep it simple.
Go through the text, male character by male character. Note down whether the character expects of a female character (subservience, obedience, requited love,loyalty, faithfulness etc.) Be prepared to be unique and different however (add in characters such as Mercutio and the gang of guys who are making fun - such as when the Nurse crosses the square - they are not motivated by hurtfulness but humor yet their cruel remarks must be hurtful all the same.)
remember types of relationship too (father/daughter. husband/wife,employer/servant.)
