What are some major themes in shakespeares play's?

You can look at how Shakespeare portrays women and men in his plays (particularly in Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet). Look at how men are portrayed and at how women are portrayed and examine how this differs from common beliefs about gender roles. You can also compare and contrast the parental relationships depicted in Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Nights Dream. How does Hermia's father compare to Juliet's when approached by a suitor who wants to marry his daughter? Good luck!
