On another thread this made me think
Generally, yes. But there are one or two female doormats in Shakespeare. Coriolanus’ wife, Vigillia, is probably one although her problem isn’t her unbelievably butch and driven husband, but her mother in law (who is also the root of Coriolanus’ butch pride).
But the two that stand out to me are Ophelia and Gertrude. They appear to have no individuality at all. That’s probably why I find Hamlet over-rated – no interesting women parts.
