* *; PATRIARCHY *: Literally 'rule by the father' but more generally it refers to a social situation where men are dominant over women in wealth, status and power. Patriarchy is associated with a set of ideas, a 'patriarchal ideology' that acts to explain and justify this dominance and attributes it to inherent natural differences between men and women. Sociologists tend to see patriarchy as a social product and not as an outcome of innate differences between the sexes and they focus attention on the way that gender roles in a society affect power differentials between men and women

Who is patriarchy in Romeo and Juliet and is Friar Lawrence patriarchy too?

"Patriarchy" is a word formed from the Greek word "archon" which means "ruler". A mon-archy is a state ruled by one ruler (from the Greek word for one, monos), an olig-archy is a state ruled by the rich, and an-archy is a state without a ruler. From the word "patrus" meaning "father" we get patriarchy, or rule by fathers, just as matriarchy is rule by mothers. No character in Romeo and Juliet is named Patriarchy, so it makes no sense to ask "Who is patriarchy?" Patriarchy is not a person, nor is it an adjective so you cannot ask whether Friar Lawrence is patriarchy any more than we can ask whether he is distance. Is Verona a patriarchy? Likely.
