of sixty. Women’s lives were similar in many parts of ancient Greece‚ but the Greeks themselves singled out the city state of Sparta as being greatly different. The women of Sparta were granted an equal stake in the success or failure of their state.

one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays. In this essay I will look at Hamlets perception of women in general but particularly Gertrude and Ophelia. I will also look at the historical presentation of women‚ comparing Hamlets time to today and seeing if the symbolic role that the females characters have is related to the period.
