“Agamemnon”: Clytaemnestra

... The Chorus looked to her for guidance and protection, alluding to her as their “lone defender, single-minded queen.” (Line 257-258) Her power was recognized by the Chorus, “We’ve come, Clytaemnestra. We respect your power. Right it is to honor the warlord’s woman one he leaves the throne.” (Lines 258-261) This line immediately sets up the fact that Clytaemnstra has gained power in Argos during Agamemnon’s absence.

Henry IV: Redemption

... he would have rather traded Hal for Hotspur, the son of the Earl of Northumberland.

Imagery In Macbeth

... contrast between the wretched creature that Macbeth really is and the disguises he assumes to conceal the fact. Secondly, I think that in the play honours are thought of as garments to be worn; likewise, Macbeth is constantly represented symbolically as the wearer of robes not belonging to him. He is wearing an "undeserved dignity." A crucial point in describing the purpose of clothing in ‘Macbeth’ is the fact that these are not his garments. Therefore, Macbeth is uncomfortable in them because he is continually conscious of the fact that t ...

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Women In Elizabethian England

... her father says, become a nun, or die. All three of these “choices” involved sterility either emotional, sexual, or absolute, respectively. These don't really sound like choices to me, nor do they sound like choices to Hermia. Woman, especially daughters, were to do what men commanded. Another example of how woman were seen as second class citizens is how they were supposed to treat men.
