A Feminist Perspective of Paulina in The Winter's Tale Feminist criticism explores gender themes in literature, assesses the worth of female characters, promotes unknown women writers, and interprets the canon from a politically-charged perspective. Shakespeare has proven more difficult to categorize than other white male masters of the written word, precisely because of the humanity of his female characters. Critic Kathleen McLuskie urges feminists to "assert the power of resistance, subverting
power. The war didn't just affect Vietnam, it effected the whole world. The United States joined the war around 1960's and ended in 1975. Both the Vietnam War and play Macbeth exhibits the theme of Patriotism. Newly elected president Nixon declared in 1969 that the United states would continue the involvement in the Vietnam War in order to "Help end the conflict and secure peace with honor for the United States" (Nixon).

Yet how can an idea so intrinsically beneficial to society be simultaneously discriminatory to

ideas on things that they write. In some way or another all stories are alike. How they are interpreted and read are important factors in reading. When reading a poem or a story there is always a deeper meaning involved in them. The authors of the literature try to capture the readers by utilizing characterization, rhythm and realistic experiences.

Prior to this, Literature in English was an elective subject at the upper secondary level (Rosli Talif, 1995).
