Gendered Identities: Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew
Öz
William Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew” questions the social world order that includes an exhibition of the Elizabethan norms including patriarchal authority. The subject matter of the play is a disputable topic that presents a depiction of the gender roles. The ambiguous paths about Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew” revolves around the ideas whether the play is about female’s being surrendered to the male hegemony in the patriarchal society or showing their power in a mutual relationship. Throughout the centuries, both the text and the perfomance of the play is evaluated in different ways by the critics, producers and directors. Almost all interpretations add different dimensions to this controversial aspect of the play. Caroline Byrne’s 2016 Globe Theatre production will be evaluated before passing onto Shakespeare’s own text since it is significant to evaluate how a contemporary female director handles this problematic issue of the “taming” theme in its re-presentation of the the ongoing discussions about Shakespeare’s portrayal of a “tamed shrew.” Then, the text will be examined in its depiction of the gendered identities.
