『말괄량이 길들이기』에 나타난 말하지 못한 말들

Abstract

Kate a shrew-figure was able to establish her vividness in a way impossible for her to resist as a Subaltern over the brutality of early modern patriarchy society. “The Taming of the Shrew” leads critics to believe that it has also been a popular source of various criticism about husband and wife’s access to socio-economic power game. There is a wide spectrum of themes from the highly theoretical to the practical changes in the economy and traditional Tudor society. The Final speech of Kate on the stage in Act V has been puzzling critics how to decode Kate’s genuine woman’s place in the patriarchal power structure and culture. To be conclusive, I tried to recover the lost historical Voices of the marginalized, the oppressed and the dominated female characters of Shakespeare’s plays. By invoking the historical exploitation and oppression of the disempowered, Spivak constantly reminds us that any act of reading has important social and political consequences. We need to learn how to step out of the cultural essentialism and start experiencing otherness.
