Title of the paper: Universal values reflected in the comedy The Taming of the Shrew.
Author or topic: William Shakespeare.
Abstract: In this paper we can find an introduction of what we are going to deal with in this essay and the reasons why. Moreover there are different sections in which we can see what are the kind of values represented in The Taming of the Shrew such as the marriage and its economic reasons, the differences among social status and the position of the women during the Elizabethan era compared with the 21th century. In order to carry out that comparison we have watched the TV adaptation of the comedy by the BBC in 2005 “Shakespea-Re Told” The Taming of the Shrew in which we can observe both the differences and the similarities that these values have suffered throughout the time.
Furthermore in the paper we will also deal with one of the most controversial issues of the comedy that is thte possibility that Shakespeare had a misogynistic view or not. In addition we can read a conclusion in which the most relevant ideas of the essay are gathered.
Auto-evaluation: In my opinion I deserve a mark of 8 not only because I think I have made a good job with a coherent essay but also for the effort that I have done.
