Shakespeare’s work, along with many other classics of Western literature, has been criticized for misogynistic representation of women. Are Lady Macbeth, Rosalind, Juliet, Viola and Kate now hopelessly outdated and offensive characters — or might Shakespeare’s theatrical genius overcome the stereotypes of the bygone era? Using examples of Shakespeare’s women from comedy and tragedy, we’ll explore the possible answers to these questions. Kindly sponsored by The Avalon of Bloomfield Township.
