Welcome... |
|
Thanks to all who took the time to visit my site after taking an interest in the world of Shakespeare. On this page I shall explore the topic of Shakespeare's portrayal of women in his tragedies: Hamlet and Macbeth. Also, I have made a list of some who also share an interest in this topic so as to give you a broader perspective on these ideas instead of just whatever comes out of my mouth. I have also supplied some images and quotes from the two plays to serve as more of a visual to everyone out there. Anyways, though, I hope you all enjoy my site and please sign the guestbook and visit the forum if you wish to further the discussion! |
About Me |
|
My name is Logan and I am currently a senior at my high school. I was born in Cape Canaveral, FL and have moved three times since then until reaching my current home but have never moved outside of Florida. Currently I am taking a course in AP English, of which this site was created for, so as to improve my writing skills and reading comprehension as writing is a favorite hobby of mine. Another favorite hobby of mine is listening and playing jazz music on my saxophone. I have been playing for about six to seven years now and see no chance of ever stopping. I also hope to become a graphic designer when I finally leave school. Some of you may ask why, but all I can really say to that is that it is my joy in life to bring entertainment to everyone. To achieve this, I can think of no better way then in the art of creative design and the playing of my saxophone |
My Thesis |
|
It's been known that back in Shakespeare's time, women faced the everyday problem of inequality in their lives. They were thought of as no more then property for their husband and a mother to their children. However, it is my thoughts that lead me to believe that Shakespeare may not have completely agreed with this way of life. Through many of his female characters we see a shimmer of the power of a women in both Hamlet and Macbeth. From the parental enigma that is Gertrude and the powerful and conniving wife Lady Macbeth, it is apparent that Shakespeare's women were not meant to simply sit around doing the laundry all day. |
