The society in Shakespeare time

The importance of being a man in shakespearean time was to have power, control, being head of the family, and going out to work to provide for yourself and your family. Being a man in those times was very important because they were seen as the provider for their families, they were the ones to go out and work to provide and maintain a living for the women in their lives. Also being a man meant you were the head of the house, in control, most to all decisions were made by the men in the house. They controlled the finances and ensured everyone ate.
Illegitimate children were viewed or looked at as bastards, unacceptable children, because they were created the wrong way in society's eyes. If they were not born in marriage they were scorned and discriminated against, and treated unfairly for actions done by their parents.
Baracoi goes against what i think because i dont think he should follow anyone who is conspiring to mess with one's name just for revenge for someone who didnt bring him any harm to his life. Its hurts the people who are involved in the getting the person who is revenged against and does less to the person who is revenged against. And I dislike this character for following a man who help hurt other to revenge against his brother.
