Does Shakespeare Women Still Exist Today

Decent Essays
In the play, Shakespeare describes the woman as an object that does not have much value to it. The only thing he focuses on is the woman’s beauty. He does not give them much importance in the play in order to show that all women are the same and can be replaced. Shakespeare shows that in the play by giving the women names are similar sounding that could be easily confused. However, the men have names that are distinct and cannot be confused. Without a man next to them, the woman is practically invisible in society. In our society today, do woman have more of a value than they did in the past? Do the traditional gender roles that were depicted in the play still exist today?

    In literature, the role and function of women varies depending on the author. Particularly in the past, there were playwrights who portrayed women as frail, passive figures to be only used as pawns for mistreatment from men. We can see this portrayal in William Shakespeare’s, Hamlet, as well as Arthur Miller’s, Death of a Salesman. The female characters in these two plays are to be considered as two-dimensional characters that only serve to help develop their male counterparts character. However, a closer study reveals that the true roles these female characters took on had purpose; for some, they were the most prominent characters of the play.…

    Imagine a society where the only purpose of women is to be wives and bear progenies. That’s primeval Athens, where females are seen as the property of men. However, the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, projects the opposite notion, which is uncommon because the play was written in the 16th century. In the play, a young Athenian woman, Hermia, disagrees to marry Demetrius, the man of her father’s choice. Hermia is depicted as having dominance through her bold actions that go against her father’s authority.…

    Twelfth Night was written near the end of Queen Elizabeth 's reign in England. The notion of a strong female, such as Elizabeth, choosing to lead a country without the help of a man began to provoke people to consider what truly a woman’s role was (Callaghan, 86). For the most part, up until this time literature strongly focused on powerful male leads that expressed dominance and intelligence greatly surpassing the minor female characters in literature (Callaghan, 32). Shakespeare 's Twelfth Night strongly questions whether men are superior to women or society has simply forced women into the background, ignoring women 's ability to rival men 's talents and rationale. Feminism in Twelfth Night detects negative attitudes towards women of the…

    At the time of Shakespeare’s plays, the role of women was seen as obsolete or unencouraged. Women were not to be educated, they were to obey their father’s wishes then their husbands, and they were grouped into the social class of their husbands. Women also rarely left the comfort of their homes; except to attend church then return straight home thereafter. The female roles in plays were played by younger boys. In medieval times, it was considered to be disgraceful or embarrassing for women to be on stage.…

    However, today’s society cannot be considered “post-sexist” if a faction of the population still perpetuates the sexism that we see in the play. Despite its age, this play is still relevant today because it portrays a societal view that shockingly still exists. While post-sexist readers view the most ridiculous lines in the play as the funniest ones, this only exemplifies sexism that is still prevalent because people wouldn’t find these extremes to be comical if the lines in this play weren’t at least a little bit familiar. Ultra-stereotypical aspects of this play are laughable because of how relevant these themes have remained over at least the last two-thousand…

    Gender roles have always been a prominent underlying issue throughout history within an androcentric society. The OED defines gender roles as the role or behaviour learned by a person as appropriate to their gender, determined by the prevailing cultural norms (OED). Shakespeare explores the theme of gender roles throughout King Lear regarding women and power. He suggests that women are incapable of achieving power on their own and that when they receive power it will corrupt their judgement, cause nothing but chaos and bring about their downfall. Shakespeare challenges the traditional gender roles of women in society, giving them power whilst making failure imminent.…

    One interesting thing about this is that Mrs. Wright’s first name is finally stated, the only female name given throughout the entire play, but it was only revealed when she was talked about before she wed. In all other context she is simply referred to as Mrs. Wright. This seems to show how the other women in the play are also seemingly oppressed because of the fact that they are married and are referred to solely by their married surname. Although not typically seen as oppression today, in this era the practice of marriage in general was something not to be taken…

    Shakespear play A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play that consists of a comedy and mostly romance of four lover's that fight to be together which eventually gets the characters into problems. There are many examples of patriarchy throughout the play, the one that stud and persuaded me the most is how man hold all the power over the women, and women are largely excluded from everything. The women on the other hand have no say on the commands that they are given by the man, the women are treated like an object and property. Firstly, one example where patriarchy is exhibited is on act 1 scene 1 between Theseus duke of Athens and Hippolyta queen of the Amazons, when Theseus came back from battle, As stated " I woo'd thee with my sword…
