Romance in the Plays of Shakespeare

Abstract

Romantic love is a dominant theme in Shakespeare's plays. Friendship between males always overpowers the relation between females. In Shakespeare's play the main motive behind the love is always property and wealth and there is no place for real emotions and feelings. Love and reason keep little company together. Daughters are always forced by the wishes of their fathers, their real love, emotions are never let free. They are compelled to marry with the men whom they dislike. The struggle for the quest of identity especially for female characters is clearly exhibited in the plays of Shakespeare. Females are always abused by their lovers or by their husbands.
