This work deals with Shakespeare’s play Hamlet with regard to feminism. It will analyze Shakespeare’s treatment of the female characters is misogynistic. Furthermore it will try to find out if Shakespeare’s treatment of the female characters is misogynistic or not, if he created feministic women and if he supported the idea of equal rights. It is here that the root of Hamlet’s problem is discovered, his mother’s hasty marriage to Claudius. This is preying on his mind even before he discovers by means of the ghost that his father had been murdered by Claudius. He is still trying to come to terms with his mother’s sexuality and he has to work through these feelings before he can even really consider avenging his father’s death.
Based on that question i’m trying to investigate whether Shakespeare is Misogynistic or not? Through his plays and short story I will analyze Shakespeare’s treatment of the female characters is misogynistic. I hope some of you have different perspective or ideas according to my mini research. I just want to share my curious about Shakespeare. Thank you for attention.
