Shakespeare and the Feminist Manifesto "Unruly women," "outlaws," "the female Wild," "the Other": these are some of the provocative terms used by feminist scholars in recent years to refer to Shakespeare's heroines. They have helped us to take a fresh look at these characters while we are reevaluating the position of women within our own society. But are Shakespeare's women really unruly? It would be anachronistic to believe that he created rebellious feminists in an age that had never heard the
William Blake, the Jonah of London missing works cited Through the streets and alleyways of Nineveh the prophet Jonah trudged. At every marketplace and city gate he joyously roared his tidings of evil, “forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!” Two and a half millennia after the great fish vomited Jonah back onto dry land, William Blake faithfully follows that path of bilge and seaweed, bile and gall, into the fraternity of prophets and oracles. Just as Jonah was reluctant to prophesy
Dramatic Changes have taken place in Sydney’s cultural and economic landscapes during the past two decades.

Stores such as Timothy Eaton, Hudson Bay Company, Simspon’s and other major retailers stimulated the economy by encouraging cash sales, ultimately modernizing Canada and making it what
“The Victorian era was a time of prosperity, broad imperial expansion, and great political reform” (Miller).

During this time there were no televisions, computers, central heating, or cars ("Victorian Britain: An Introduction"). Rather than going to school, most children began working around the age of six, which was mostly because of the Industrial Revolution which had also been
Cornrows and doublets and ski hats, oh my! In Shakespeare's original Hamlet the fashion was much different from 400 years into the future in Michael Almereyda’s Hamlet. The characters in Hamlet all have an extremely contrasting fashion sense. Hamlet, Ophelia, and Queen Gertrude’s style changes in both versions of Hamlet. The words stay the same, but the mood is changed because of the style of each character. In Shakespeare’s play the attire that Hamlet wears are likely from the 16th century. The
