A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree"LIcende en Langue et littérature Anglaises"
This work sets out to examine women'srole in jungle of the Elisabethan patriarchal system, through Shakespeare's Macbeth.This study will attempt to expose the negative role that women play in the tragedy that Shakespeare expose in Macbeth. In this light,we will examine the character of Lady Macbeth and the witches. From this perspective therefore, this work is built on the assumption that some women are largerly responsible for the tragedy in Macbeth. We will try to justify that the under estimated sex ends up asserting itself in a male dominated society.Considering the fact women areportayed differently depending on the individual view of a given text, central in this work is the reader-response criticism. Thus, this topic has the task to demonstrate how women in a pariarchal society especially in Shakespeare's Macbeth make great influence in the society. Lady Macbeth and the three witches are actual symbols of evil, given the fact that they arecapable of forging evil plans and realising them.
