Modern sensibilities argue for total equality in relationships, railing against traditional relationship structures wherein the male is the dominant partner. This is an admirable view, and one that commendably dismisses gender roles. However, such absoluteness neglects to consider the possibility of intellectual and social inequalities between members of a relationship that could make some form of dominance beneficial. Throughout his comedies, William Shakespeare examines this possibility by demonstrating both the benefits of adhering to a power structure and the dangers of failing to recognize the necessity of having one.
