| Description |
"In this thesis, I will explore the literature of the Jacobean era--specifically The Tragedy of Sophonisba, The Duchess of Malfi and Macbeth--and how these depictions demonstrated dualities between good and evil female stereotypes and the anxieties of men over the sexuality, beauty, and power of women. I...argue that the three Jacobean plays reflect fears about women who defy societal standards with the use of literal and metaphorical witches who use their voices and bodies to manipulate men, exemplifying the importance for women to follow the rules set by society." |
