Abstract

The emphasis of females in William Shakespeare’s works is widely discussed and prevalent topic of debate. It is noticed that Shakespeare has anticipated his age because of his creativity in discovering a lot of the hidden features of the female even negative or positive. Thus, various critics have commented on Shakespeare’s feminist depiction in his plays. It is true that Shakespearean female characters are the victims of conventional England of patriarchal domination, but it is also obvious that they deliver the vital and universal female characteristics.  The female protagonists are given the most outstanding roles that control their plot in the plays of Shakespeare. In this research, the presentation of female characters in Shakespearean plays: King Lear and Romeo and Juliet will be discussed from feminist perspective. The central purpose of my research is to confirm that Shakespeare’s female characters were revolutionary, which had countless means to struggle against the constraints of the patriarchal society that imposed on them. Accordingly, this analysis should eventually succeed in representing his female in an innovative, virtuous strong and rather revolutionary manner, for an Elizabethan man. These females will be the character of Cordelia in King Lear and the character of Juliet in Romeo and Juliet.
