"That's all folks!'

                             As Porky Pig always says at the end of each show, "That's all folks!' and this is my last blog. I enjoyed the class with Professor Quarrell. I believe overall that Shakespeare has build women characters who were strong which didn't support the Renaissance era. As I stated numerous times women were suppose to be submissive but Shakespeare created these characters in his play that weren't. For example, Juliet fell in love with the enemy of her family, Romeo and fought for that love to her last breath and then there was Kate and Beatrice who voiced their opinion and were known as shrews.

This week we read Shakespeare's sonnets `18-20, which some people believe is Shakespeare professing his love to a young man which I don't agree with. I believe that this week doesn't support the way women were treated in the Renaissance era because usually men didn't have to woe a woman their father were the ones they needed to woe. Women were treated like a product that was negotiated as business transactions between families.

WEEK 15: Queer Theory Defined


Retrieved from: Professor Susan Quarrell

        The definition of queer I believe doesn't support the Renaissance era because men viewed as masculine men in control of the women. In the Queer theory men were seen as feminine which doesn't support the way they should act.
