Description: An essay analyzing Shakespeare's treatment of women in the tragedies Hamlet, Othello and Antony and Cleopatra.
Shakespeare's Women. Shakespeare's treatment of female characters in the tragedies Hamlet, Othello and Antony and Cleopatra Shakespeare's Treatment of Women in the Tragedies Shakespeare, it is claimed by many modern critics, was a feminist. Shapiro for example goes so far as to claim that Shakespeare was 'the noblest feminist of them all'. Although I am inclined to agree with McLuskie that as Shakespeare 'wrote for a male entertainment', it is historically incorrect to regard him as a feminist. I believe that Shakespeare because of his extraordinary genius for portraying human behaviour, necessarily depicted the condition of women within a patriarchal system and created women characters which in their richness, transcend the limitations of his time.
