The Midsummer Night Dream


The "Midsummer Night Dream" by Shakespeare portrays men's domination of women's right in relationships. But from a historical point of view, it can be inferred that the purpose of Shakespeare's play was to show the relationships of  parents to daughters and the relationships of men and women in the 16th century society of England. However, the main point of focus in this analysis is  to determine the elements of the text that can be perceive as masculine( active, powerful)  and feminine ( passive, marginalized) , and how the characters support these traditional roles.  The following sources below will be use to support the analyses of the play, and to bring out the main purpose of this play according to Shakespeare views of men and women's relationships in England.
