Athenian women, are supposed to show manners. as stated above, they are supposed to be "ladylike". Which Helenas wasnt at all. She rebeled. didnt listen to what she was told. and didnt show she was a proper lady. - I hope this is helpful!

Athenian women are supposed to be very ladylike, have good poise and obey what they are old. But Helena chases Demetrius around, doesn't listen to what she's told and isn't very ladylike at all.
