can you answer this question base on the film "Shakespeare in love"?

Question

1. What is the film’s theme? Is it about love of country? Heroic love? Lifestyle of the rich and famous? Commentary about the present society? Etc. The theme tells something or is a commentary by the director about a specific or a general subject. The theme is not about the goodness or the badness of the characters, but the overall idea of what the movie is all about. “Poverty” is not a theme, but when you say “Poverty degrades, then it is a theme.

Answer 1

One of the main themes offered by "Shakespeare in Love" is the possibility of a complete reversal in the roles of men and women. The 16th century is a time when women are not permitted on stage. Viola, who wishes to be an actor, dons tights and a fake mustache in order to act a man, both in life and on the stage. The switch is hauntingly familiar. As one looks at the early feminist movement in the United States, one of its mistakes is that it attempted to turn women into men. It was just assumed that if a woman were going to play a traditionally male "part" she would need to dress, talk, and act like a man. By the film's end, however, the reversal is never fully realized. The presentation of these issues is intentional, suggesting perhaps that while men and women should hold the same job, they should hold it as themselves.

Marriage, sex, and the divide between them is also a prevalent theme, and one that is intimately tied to feminist thought. In the film, marriage is not an expression of love but a means of preserving wealth and status. One marries for property and name only. Today the ceremony of marriage is still tarnished. As we watch our parents divorce, we wonder if it's worth the trouble. Sex always seems much easier and much more fulfilling than bothering with matrimony. The film notes the dangers of this attitude, however. Although Viola and Shakespeare are lovers, their love is not professed seriously until the end of the film. The two know that they have lied to each other about their ties to other mates, and each have allowed the other to fall in love. Shakespeare, wanting to blame fate is corrected by Viola when she says, "We brought it upon ourselves". As Viola and Shakespeare take responsibility for the way they live, so must we.

Shakespeare in Love is a film about Shakespeare and his lover. Also, there are lots of references for that period and the society. It is not a commentary, but just a story of love between rich and poor, noble and herd.

Answer 4
