초록
This article examines sisterhood, or female friendship among women in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Modern feminist playwrights, influenced by radical feminists, think that through sisterhood they can overcome male oppression and exploitation, additionally if women stand up to oppression based on sisterhood, they can cope with patriarchal ideologies. Shakespeare also shows similar attitudes about sisterhood in his comedies, such as The Merry Wives of Windsor, As You Like It, and All’s Well That End’s Well. However, in A Midsummer Night’s Dream he presents a different idea about sisterhood among women. In this play sisterhood can be a potential threat to the entire social order established and maintained by patriarchal ideology. It should be suppressed or removed for the consolidation of male dominance. If women unite and obtain power, they can threaten and undermine the whole patriarchal society. In other words, it can be said that men can recover their power over women and keep their own social order when women lose their sisterhood. In this respect, men need to prevent female solidarity by conciliating female members into such patriarchal discourses and institutes as marriage. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare introduces three examples of sisterhood controlled by male authority; Hippolyta, Hermia and Helena, and Titania. Through the examples, Shakespeare implies that sisterhood among women can be harmful to the patriarchal order and consequently should be eliminated or incorporated into the hegemonic male ideology. In this sense, Shakespeare shows a different attitude about sisterhood in A Midsummer Night’s Dream from those in other comedies.
