[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that argues that Shakespeare's portrayal of women in The Merchant of Venice and in Much Ado About Nothing shows that he considered women to be capable of showing intelligence and loyalty to equal any man. Beatrice through her loyalty to Hero and Portia in her dramatic defense of her husband's friend, Antonio, show that they possess intelligence, loyalty and courage equal, or superior, to the men in these plays, whom they overshadow in this regard.

Shakespeare's 'Merchant Of Venice'/ Role of The 'Other'
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper examining the occurrence of 'other' in Shakespeare's works. The issue is discussed using Adelman's thesis that Shakespeare's characters project their own fears onto other characters they define as 'other.' An analysis of Adleman's theory is included, followed by a discussion which addresses the separate elements that such a reality involves. Adleman's theory, while correct in some ways, is in other ways far-fetched and ridiculous. Adleman's theories are related to similar issues which appear in the Shakespeare play, 'Merchant of Venice.'
