Shakespeare's Daughters

Meer over het boek

Shakespeare frequently delves into the complex dynamics of father-daughter relationships, often portraying a widowed father with an adolescent daughter who has been sheltered under his authority. As the narrative unfolds, the daughter approaches adulthood, yearning to establish her own identity and make independent choices, particularly in love, which often leads to tension with her father's expectations. This exploration highlights themes of autonomy, generational conflict, and the struggle for personal freedom.
