What is the central idea of the following?
The idea that women are not equal to men has been a prevailing, common theme in literature since the beginning of time. Like their predecessors, Renaissance writers staunchly laid down the tenet that women were less valuable throughout the pages of effusive literary writings, where women are alternately idolized as virtuous or shunned as harlots. One man proved to be a glaring contradiction to this falsity. That man was William Shakespeare and he had the courage in those turbulent days to recognize the value and equality of women. His portrayal of women differed than that of many of his contemporaries during the Renaissance era.

Children dream of the day when they will be grown up. They will no longer have bedtimes, bath-times, curfews, or any other restrictions.

Now they long for the days they could roam free all summer without a care in the world. Innocence has always battled with experience.
