Language and gender text h

This text shows a modern representation of the female steretype for this genre, due to there being a sexual inuendo from the women asking the man "Where do you want me, Professor Chadwick?"
However there is a very strong sense of male sterotypes 'strong note of impatience' this is a typically chractersitic of a male, suggesting that males are an impatient gender in comparison to women who are more patient and not as time urgent.
Also another part of this novel is 'found him absorbed in his work' this may be regarded as another stereotypical charcterstic of a male. Because typically in society it's the male that is the provider for the family and the female is supposed to sit at home and be a housewife. Therefore by suggesting he is 'absorbed in his work' this may refer to the typical male working lifestyle.
