| Posted: 06 Feb 2015 06:26 AM PST In Shakespeare's day, women characters were played by male actors, and we can't know whether the spectators truly saw them as women. Is it because of that or despite it that Shakespeare wrote such individual women? More than four centuries down the road, artists still work over the Bard's plays, while the literature of most of his contemporaries has remained in its own era, and surely his splendid women have something to do with that. You don't see Vishal Bhardwaj making a Hindi movie out of Don Quixote, and even his Maqbool, Omkara and Haider would have been just plain bloody without the roles played by Tabu, Kareena Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma. Even in the original plays, in their Elizabethan English, Shakespeare's women shine out for their crisp and bold verse. For the four weeks leading up to Women's Day, LATHA ANANTHARAMAN looks at four of the playwright's many magnificent heroines—Juliet, Cordelia, Cleopatra and, of course, Lady Macbeth. |
