Abstract

Shakespeare’in oyunu Much Ado About Nothing erkek gücünün evlilikte aşkın olmasıyla nasıl sınırlandığını gösterir. Bu makale evliliğin kadınları erkek-egemen bir toplumda sessiz kurbanlar haline getiren bir deneyim olmaktansa, cinsiyetler arasında eşit bir denge olduğunu anlatmaktadır. Ayrıca, romantik bir evlilikte aşk ve bağlılık (sadakat) her iki cinsiyetin sosyal görevleri olaması açısından da vurgulanmaktadır

MR. "PRINCE'S JESTER" AND MS. "DISDAIN": THE MALE POWER AND WOMAN'S RESPONSE TO IT IN MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Abstract

Shakespeare’s play Much Ado About Nothing demonstrates how male power is limited through association of love in marriage. This paper will discuss marriage as an equal balance of power between the genders rather than an experience that makes women silent victims in a male-dominated society. Love and commitment will also be focused on in terms of the social duties of both sexes in a romantic marriage
