Explain the roles of men and women thus far. Are roles
painted stereotypically?

Well, traditionally, men and women have opposing roles. Men are often seen as the provider, and women are seen as caretakers of home and family, as well as a good friend/companion to her husband. These are gender roles defined by society, so yes it is painted stereotypically.
