Ext II English quotes (1 Viewer)

[MissSavage29]

Hi, i am in need of some help. I'm doing my ext II english project on Shakespeare and his women. I was wondering if anyone had some quotes either by Shakespeare himself or any other person regarding his treatment of women within his plays.
If you could post them or email them to me at
savage_chick29@hotmail.com

I would really appreciate this.
Thanks a bunch

Good luck with Extension II, I'm doing it too. I can't remember any of ol' Will's quotes of the top of my head though.

However, try searching the net, use google, and search for quote sites.

Have a look at coolquotescollection.com it might have some of Shakespeare's quotes, I don't know.

Glad to be of service Miss savage. Dunno what I'm doing my major work on. I'll probably write a novel or something, cause i always been good at writing, and very good at Bullshitting.

Thanks for the supporrt.We actually haven't started Ext English 2 yet, but we start tomorrow.

What you should do, I think is to read critical essays regarding women portrayal in Shakespeare's texts. I think you'll find this in the library or even online.

There some quotes in Julius Caesar that sorta reflects condescension towards women (Portia and Calpurnia) in the Shakespearean contexts. Or have a look in Othello to see how Desdemona is portrayed (you can link this with your Prelim. course).

I would've thought that you are doing a critical essay as your medium?

 

[MissSavage29]

Yep i'm doing a critical responce - most likely an essay. Though i have been told that you can do feature articles which i quite like. So i haven't really decided on that yet...
I've got a couple of critical articles... There is supposed to be a book entiled Shakspears Women which there are no copies where i live - if anyone has seen that do you know if its any good?
Thanks everyone

Feature Ariticle

you can do feature articles?

Yep - one of the girls in my school a couple of years back did one on Science Fiction and women's presentation... I think she got 49/50 for it or somthing very close to that

w0w cool. I think i'll stick with my poetry

 

[Gregor Samsa]

For a feminist critic of Shakespeare, Kathleen McLuskie is good to use, particular her essay The Patriarchal Bard: Feminist Criticism and Shakespeare: King Lear and Measure for Measure

The narrative and its dramatisation present a connection between sexual insubordination and anarchy, and the connection is given an explicitly misogynistic basis

The institution of male power in the family and the state is seen as the only form of social organisation strong enough to hold chaos at bay.

Good luck.
