The Taming Of The Shrew: Misogynistic Perspective

535 Words3 Pages

The Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare, is written from a very misogynistic perspective. In the play, Shakespeare examines the relationship between men and women and offers that a man should have full command over his female counterpart. This is of course extremely sexist, but it was not uncommon at the time for women to be seen as less valuable than men and Shakespeare was just being realistic for the time period in which this play was written. With that being said, as a male author in the 1500s, Shakespeare can never depict the female perspective in a completely accurate way.
The whole point of The Taming of the Shrew is to show that women are inferior to men and must obey them at all times. In the play, the ideas about gender

  • Essay Comparing The Taming Of The Shrew And Othello

    2005 Words  | 9 Pages

    In Shakespeare’s two plays, Othello and The Taming of the Shrew patterns of domination and submission are explored in relation to the shared issue of gender and power contained in each play. In Shakespeare’s time, women were expected to carry themselves a certain way to maintain the honor of their families. Shakespeare writes Othello and The Taming of the Shrew in the Elizabethan era which readers can see by the way the male figures in the plays see their women as property than human beings. By writing from the Elizabethan point-of-view, it effects the way each play is perceived as behavior previously seen as acceptable may now be viewed as unacceptable from a feminist perspective. For example, in The Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio dehumanizes Katharina’s character which results in Katharina’s submission to her husband, Petruchio.

  • 16th Century Gender Roles

    Over time values have greatly changed, for example, gender roles and courtship. Literature has coincided along history and it 's a great way to view how these values have changed. William Shakspeare’s Taming of the Shrew is a great example of how gender roles and courtship were portrayed in the 16th century. Although it was controversial in its time because the lead,Katharine, is a strong-willed woman who believed she didn’t need a man in her life. It is obvious that everybody 's obsession in this time period, and some small-minded people now is that a woman absolutely needs a man to survive.

  • Marxism In The Taming Of The Shrew

    1282 Words  | 6 Pages

    Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew is often attacked for its misogynistic oppression of women and domestically abusive undertones, especially for the ‘taming’ of the titular shrew, Katherina. However, in an at least humanist, if not feminist, point of view, I argue that there are two different but overlapping sets of relationship dynamics between our main couple. Their relationship is constantly dual-layered. The first is the pair’s “madly mated” (3.3.242) personalities which allows them to form a partnership that proves to be a union of equals by Act 5. While the other, shaped and influenced by the social expectations of the ‘public,’ is the dynamic that relies on both of their imaginations to play the roles that they are presumably assigned

  • Female Agency In Shakespeare's Tragedies

    883 Words  | 4 Pages

    Introduction Throughout his career, William Shakespeare has presented a range of strong-willed and active female characters. His comedies, in particular, contain many women who not only have agency but are able to use this to gain sexual and political freedom. In order to investigate the extent and role of female agency in Shakespeare’s comedies, three plays from various points in his career will be analysed: The Taming of the Shrew (c. 1592), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (c.1594-6), and All’s Well That Ends Well (c.1602-7). First, though, what is meant by both political and sexual agency must be defined.

  • The Taming Of The Shrew Women Essay

    927 Words  | 4 Pages

    The roles of women are immanently transcending as society continues to alter their perception of the female race. Since the misogynistic Elizabethan era, women exceed the expectations of encompassing subservient and docile characteristics to becoming respectable individuals capable of embracing their own beliefs rather than a man’s. However, equality for women’s rights only began with the recognition of society’s unequal treatment towards women. The Taming of the Shrew in its own sense stands as small step of recognition towards the early fight for the rights of women. Shakespeare uses this piece of literature to essentially reveal and criticize the manner in which male-dominated societies treat women as animals that are to be tamed.

    Katherine and Bianca are opposites at the beginning of Taming of the Shrew. Petruchio and Katherine are very similar. Lucentio is overcome by love and is willing to debase his station in order to achieve it, like many other women and men in Shakespeare's plays. Despite the confining gender expectations and roles of his time, Shakespeare was aware and interested in what people of different genders could have in common. Shakespeare uses the differences and similarities in personality traits throughout Taming of the Shrew and the rest of his works to prove that men and women can have very similar and varying personalities.

    Throughout history, women have always been considered inferior to men. Women are typically supposed to stay home and care for the children, quieter than men, do not need an education, and are supposed to listen and do what they are told. The men are the ones in charge. They are “always at the top”, expected to work to provide for their family, and tell their wives what to do. When reading “Taming of the Shrew” by Shakespeare and watching “10 Things I hate About You” directed by Gil Junger, the stereotypes and gender role of Katherine (Kat) and the sisterly relationship between Katherine (Kat) and Bianca come across.

  • Rebellion Against Femininity In Macbeth

    It’s no surprise, that Shakespeare’s Macbeth was clearly constructed as a rebellion against femininity roles of the time. During the Elizabethan era, women were raised to believe they were inferior to men since men obtained desired masculine qualities such as strength, and loyalty, whereas women were viewed as figures of hospitality (1; 6; 28-31). Obviously, not being tempted by the luxury of subservient women, William Shakespeare rebuked this twisted belief, applying that women deserve more respect than their kitchen tables.

During this time in history women were usually never seen without their husband, but were seen as a nurturing object for the children and somebody to take care of the house.

  • Feminist Criticism In Othello

    A Modern View of Feminist Criticism William Shakespeare 's "Othello” can be analyzed from a feminist perspective. This criticism focuses on relationships between genders, like the patterns of thoughts, behavior, values, enfranchisement, and power in relations between and within sexes. A feminist examination of the play enables us to judge the distinctive social esteems and status of women and proposes that the male-female power connections that become an integral factor in scenes of Othello impact its comprehension. I believe that the critical lens that provides modern society with the most compelling view of literature is Feminist Criticism because it analyzes distrust and disloyalty among relationships, women being treated as possessions

    The way Shakespeare approached gender is perhaps his most well known writing quality. In the play King Lear, the story starts out with the socially accepted norm of male dominance. As the play progresses, King Lear slowly loses grip of his kingdom to his daughters, Goneril and Regan, both of which are females. Females of this time period, even those of nobility, are still expected to be ruled by men and aren't supposed to hold any true power over their reigning male counterpart.

    Taming of the Shrew There’s been a lot of questions and discussions about if Shakespeare was being a little bit too cruel or bias in the way he represented women in the play, Taming of the Shrew. There’s a lot of different opinions and in my personal one I think he is non-misogynistic. It was a just a comedy not an insult to woman. People are just being too sensitive about it, and just looking more to it than there actually is.

    In a place where equality doesn’t exist, women become objects that men trade around for their own benefit. Women are valued according to the wealth they inherit from their “ previous owners,” their fathers. They are disrespected and treated mercilessly, with their beauty and their personality simply being the auxiliaries that profit their owners. In the play, The Taming of the Shrew, marriages are arranged like trading possessions, where women are married off with no rights and are supposed to remain loyal to their owners.
