Narratological Understandings of Gender, Genre, and Speech in Shakespeare's Infidelity Plays

Shakespeare returns repeatedly to a false infidelity plotline in his plays. In Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, and The Winter's Tale, a chaste woman is wrongly accused of adultery, risking her reputation and her life. I argue that the outcome of each of these plays is effected by the power of "scolding" or "shrewish" women who serve as helper-figures to the wrongfully accused heroine, and particularly by the extent to which the marginalized and critiqued female voice can make itself heard by male figures of authority. A narratological study of this phenomenon reveals significant similarities to our current cultural conversation about women's speech, and provides a deeper understanding of what these plays have to say about speech itself and its power to transform the world, even in the hands of those most marginalized and silenced.
