For instance, I disagreed with CH's saying that Shakespeare's Kate was an anomaly and that even she capitulated. Most interpretations of Kate's final speech are ironic. I'll have to go back and re-read it. I hadn't read it that way. But it's not one of the plays I have read many times, as I did with the plays I taught; I've probably only read it two or three times, which is only enough to start on a careful analysis. I agree, Shakespeare did have some very strong women. Raises a question. Were his women societal anomolies? Or were stronger women more tolerated in his day, maybe because of the example of Elizabeth, and did society regress from there to 1899?
