Abstract or Introduction

The essay deals with the oppression or emancipation of women in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream”.
The essay will have a look at three scenes within which sexual intercourse is implied. In them the threat of male dominance to females within sexual relationships both physically and socially, how marriage can be a metaphor for imbalanced power distribution, and the possibility of engaging in a heteroerotic relationship without experiencing disempowerment as a woman will be explored thoroughly.
