What is ordered should be done and nothing less is accepted.
Slaves are not treated as human beings with equal rights. Rather, they are considered by their masters as property which can be dispensed at any time. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, this is demonstrated by what Mr. Crouch said to Winky, "I have no use for a house-elf who disobeys me… I have no use for a servant who forgets what is due to her master, and her master's reputation." (Rowling 90). Mr. Crouch's words are laden with meaning as to how he sees his house-elf slave; the house-elf is nothing but a property that can be dispensed at any moment.
People who are enslaved are denied of the basic human rights to be compensated for the work that they do. Moreover, they are not entitled to the most basic benefits an employee receives such as rest days, sick...
They are not guaranteed of a retirement. They work until they are able to. These are all because they are considered as slaves and not as employees. Slaves are people that other people own. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, this is captured by what Nearly Headless Nick told Hermione, "Sick leave and pensions?... House-elves don't want sick leave and pensions!" (Rowling 118) Another important thing to note is that slaves, at least the way they are portrayed in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, think that the way they are treated is ok, that it is how it should be. This could just be a ploy perpetuated by the masters.

Instead of the author's context it is the reader's context that is examined from the feminist perspective […] It is not the intention of this paper to enter into an extensive discussion on the theoretical validity of these different viewpoints. Suffice to say that it is the less extreme and more open -- ended and integrative form of feminist critique that is considered to be the most appropriate theoretical trajectory
It is not they are any less able or proficient. Over the past decade, the schools have become even more driven in this respect. Children at younger and younger ages are expected to read.
