2. ➔ Feminism is known as the principle
advocating social, political and all other rights
equal to men.
➔ In the play Hamlet by william shakespeare
many controversies arise from the text, one of
which is feminism.

3. The influence of shakespearean era on
the play.
➔ During the time of shakespeare authors were only men, their
voices were baised in favor of a male point of view.
➔ In this era there must be one ideology that 'chaste and modest
wife'
➔ The fact that England was not a patriarch in shakespeare's
time may have promoted his interest in writing the of
Hamlet in the way he did.

'Hamlet'
➔ Only two female characters in the play, Gertrude &
Ophealia. Play focuses upon only male characters.
➔ Both the characters are potrayed as servants to men.

brother.

for pleasure.

the men around her.

my very soul and there i see such black and grained
spots as will not leave their tinct”
