Women's discourse of power in Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
Author: Anwar Elsharkawy
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3668350450
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Scientific Essay from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: M.A, , course: Discourse Analysis, language: English, abstract: Women in "Macbeth" (i.e., Lady Macbeth and the Witches) speak a strange language that is very similar to what women seek today. This language can be described as antilanguage: a language by which women can direct, control, and dominate men. This paper introduces a contradictory statement to the current views in discourse analysis, which indicate that women are powerless, trivial, dominated, and sexual objects (Andersen, 1988, Chaika, 1982; Lakoff, 1975) by showing women as powerful, serious, and dominating as men. In doing so, it focuses on the recent views of discourse, power, and women, taking Shakespeare's "Macbeth" as a field of application by analyzing Lady Macbeth’s turns of talk.

Desdemona, Lady Macbeth, and Cleopatra
Author: Ana Maribel Moreno G.
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1491765992
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
In 1616, William Shakespeare shuffled loose the mortal coil. In honor of his death four centuries ago, Ana Maribel de Moncada, Panamanian, professor of English at Panamas Universidad Especializada de la Amricas (UDELAS) created Desdemona, Lady Macbeth, and Cleopatra: Tragic Women in Shakespeares Plays, a literary analysis of three of Shakespeares most compelling, complicated, and cherished characters. Using information and insight gleaned from the works of her peers and other Shakespearean experts, Ana Maribels scholarly analysis of the importance of these three women as characters drew heavily upon the foundational works in which they appeared. The stories of Desdemona, the doomed wife of Othello; Lady Macbeth, the scheming queen from Macbeth; and Cleopatra, the all-powerful but ultimately tragic queen caught between love, rivalry, and ambition in Antony and Cleopatra are well documented through movies, novels, plays, operas, television, songs, and more. To entice students and educators alike, Ana Maribel designed her work to inspire both scholarly and casual reflection, analysis, and discussion of the works of the most well-known and respected English-language playwright. From the richness of the original plays, the author harvested the extensive detail and profound imagery found in Shakespearean text. To best honor Shakespeare four hundred years after his death, Ana Maribel sought to inspire a global celebration and discussion of his work and its impact on language, theatre, and literature in all segments of human society.

Gender and Political Power in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra and Macbeth
Shakespeare and the Nature of Women
Author: Juliet Dusinberre
Publisher: London : Macmillan
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
SHAKESPEARE AND THE NATURE OF WOMEN was the first full-length feminist analysis of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Its arguments for the feminism both of the drama and the early modern period caused instant controversy. Dusinberre claims that Puritan teaching on sexuality and spiritual equality raises questions about women which feed into the drama, where the role of women in relation to authority structures is constantly renegotiated. SHAKESPEARE AND THE NATURE OF WOMEN claimed for women a right to speak about the literary text from their own place in history and culture. The author's Preface to the Second Edition traces contemporary developments in feminist scholarship, which still wrestles with the book's main thesis: Renaissance feminism, feminist Shakespeare.
