Abstract
Multiple theories have been applied to analyze and approach William Shakespeare’s plays. The theory of feminism is one of them. Though Shakespeare’s Hamlet reflects women and men’s roles in the English Renaissance, he is also a playwright who analyzes, criticizes, and adjusts male-female psychological conflicts. The portrayal of Shakespeare’s female characters that surround them are deemed anti-feminist because of their roles or how they are alluded to in the play-text. Women in Hamlet, Gertrude and Ophelia, are given degraded opinions and roles within the play, which is the source of this misconception. The play is written from a male perspective; therefore, it focuses on the male characters and their experiences rather than considering the perspectives and consequences of women. As a result, it is reasonable to assume that Shakespeare’s Hamlet demonstrates male superiority because Shakespeare has fostered the public aware of women’s mistreatment, Hamlet can be seen as a test of the feminist approach.
