Taking into consideration most of the plays written by William Shakespeare one can notice an individual lineage of strong females, which induce the attention and sympathy of the audience. It is interesting to notice that most of those female characters catch the attention not by their social rank, but rather their personalities. Together with these strong women and couples, there are usually supporting females and couples, which are contrasted to the strong ones. Strong and unconventional couples happen to be unique and independent, when conventional, i.e supporting, couples are happily married. Usually readers immediately happen to be in favor of strong and independent couples, however Shakespeare does not let his audience have a concrete attitude towards either ones until the end of his plays. According to Shakespeare keeping the balance between these extreme forms of relationship is the best way to complete life and love. .
Two of the most famous plays written by Shakespeare in 1950's - "The Taming of the Shrew" and .
"Much Ado About Nothing" illustrate this theme. The "Taming of The Shrew" describes dual dramatic courtship between individualistic Katherine and Petruccio comparing to more conventional couple of Bianca and Lucentio. "MAAN" similarly to the previous play describes contrast between Beatrice and Benedickt on one side, and Hero and Claudio, on the other. Both of these plays suggest the idea that in order to take part in the social world, one need convention. But at the same time this convention must me strengthened with faithfulness, intellect, and happiness. .
As with most of Shakespeare's comedies, "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Much Ado About Nothing" feature a wedding, yet together with these there are many other significant similarities in both of the plays. Starting with the social roles, both plays are dealing with difficulty of the social structure. For example, in "Much Ado About Nothing" people very often have to give a way to those, who are higher in their social rank.
