SHAKESPEARE’S FEMINISM vs. 20th CENTURY FEMINISM

SHAKESPEARE’S FEMINISM vs. 20th CENTURY FEMINISM

Busatlic, Raisa

We know very little about William Shakespeare. What we do know for a fact: he is a social phenomena, his name echoes everywhere. He is celebrated as a local poet all over the world. In the history of mankind no writer has enjoyed so much prosperity and reception. In this work I have presented one aspect of his work, his attitude towards womenhood in socal, political, and emotional context. Through few plays I emphasized Shakespeare's approach towards philosophy of life, not only when he spoke about women; life in his case has levels which are being reached, and his heroins proove this easily. Finally, this work will explain feminism through heroism in Shakespearean drama, studying similarities and differencies within this age, history, and Shakespeare's universal era. Key words: feminism, womenhood, universalities
