Women in Taming of the Shrew
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that discusses the role of women in Shrew. The writer argues that the behavior of the women in this play is not only against what was perceived as societal norms, but, also a direct contradiction against divine order. Therefore, the function of the women in this comedy is to not only to portray "uppity" women, but to demonstrate the human quality to rebel or "sin" against God's express will. The fact that all of the women in the play, at some point, behave in a shrewish manner suggests that this tendency is presented as universal. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
