The life of a muslim women.

The passage I chose to talk about I think really explain how in the Islamic culture women and their "position" in the household. ( No offense to women.)

I chose the passage on pg. 12 and the last paragraph on the page. This paragraph really describes with the rest of chapter 2 how in the Islamic culture women wait on the man to come back home and then service to there needs. Due to this many women tend to not know much about the outside world because they can't go outside or be seen by anyone besides their husband. In Palace Walk Amina loves her husband dearly, and that she waits for her husband all night and that her husband is very special to her. I think Mahfouz is puts this passage in the book just to emphasize how much the women in Islamic culture have a place to be a house wife and loyal to there husband.
