Abstract
William Shakespeare’s plays tend to exhibit discernible woman figures that go beyond the accustomed passive women. The investigation carried out in this essay will be according to the research question: “Study of unconventional woman figures in William Shakespeare’s comedies “Much Ado About Nothing”, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Twelfth Night” in regard to the conservative society of the period.”. The purpose of this extended essay is to analyze how the prominent woman figures in the comedies Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night reject the accustomed womanly attributions and display valiancy. This essay is comprised of three sub-headings, each analyzing a particular play with respect to its most remarkable woman figures and their stance towards the society’s shallow approach towards them. While analyzing the plays, the attitude towards women in the realm of the play is discussed and contrasted with the idealized heroines. In the conclusion of the study, the main elements of the comedies are juxtaposed and assembled with references to other works on Shakespeare’s audacious woman figures. Based on the analysis, the common characteristics came across in these plays are gallantry, wit and confidence. As a result, it is found to be obvious that all of the females studied propose an explicit transgression that leads the way towards the two sexes becoming more equal.
