Why It Matters
Shakespeare wrote the most controversial of his comedies — a battle of the sexes that ends with a woman's public submission to her husband. Whether the ending is sincere, ironic, or a performance within a performance has been debated for centuries. The play forces every generation to confront its own assumptions about gender and power.
