Shakespearean’s women were important basically because
Shakespeare, a famous writer who had written 154 sonnets and plenty of dramas—which are
all critically renowned worldwide, was born during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I: a
woman, influential, powerful, esteemed.
First, it should be
noted that Shakespeare became an actor and performed with a group called the “Lord
Chamberlain's Men”. This group became popular that even Queen Elizabeth I, watched their
performances. Having such encounter with the queen, and with the reality that was
created by the society about females, especially the queen, he would have had a high
esteem for women, that such is obviously manifested in many of his dramas and sonnets.
Somehow, we may see it as his way of honoring his queen though his
writing.
Secondly, we may also consider the women in his
life; his wife Anne Hathaway and two daughters: Susanna and judith. Having them around
as valued individuals or as women who contributed in the influences that created the
persona of Shakespeare could be another factor that we may consider to answer why
Shakesperean women areimportant at that time.
