In A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ Shakespeare portrays the plays female characters in two different lights. While late 16th century English women were expected to become wives and mothers‚ A Midsummer Night’s Dream does not adhere to the set gender roles of the time.

John M. Murry describes Twelfth Night as having a ’silvery undertone of sadness’ - this view is held by other critics alike.
