ESSAY ON: Measure For Measure/A Feminist View

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: A 7 page essay that discusses this Shakespearean work from a feminist perspective. Shakespeare's Elizabethan era was characterized by an "oppressive patriarchal culture," yet within this society, there are existed contradictions, "pressure point," so to speak, where there were "opportunities for resistance" (Findlay 7). This is the theoretical position taken by Alison Findlay in her text A Feminist Perspective on Renaissance Drama (1999). Using Findlay's feminist position, it possible to interpret Shakespeare's manipulation of the trope of virginity in Measure For Measure as offering a feminist perspective. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
