Here's how I would go about beginning this
essay-
To start formulating a thesis for your essay,
consider the following:
What do some of Shakespeare's
female characters have in common? Is there one trait you have observed in multiple
characters that you can discuss in your essay?
Are there
two characters you can compare and/or contrast for your
essay?
You could also consider arguing whether
Shakespeare's women are weak or strong. You could discuss their relationships with other
characters as well... an example could be whether they are manipulative or supportive of
their husbands/significant others.
Once you have chosen a
direction for your essay, you can choose characters to discuss within the essay. Here
you will use 5 examples from Shakespeare's plays to support your assertions about his
female characters.
You might also want to consult secondary
sources for opinions about Shakespeare's female characters.
