His typical pattern featured a middle-aged or older man, usually a widower, with an adolescent daughter who had spent most of her life under her father's control, protected in his house. The plays usually begin when the daughter is on the verge of womanhood and eager to assert her own identity and make her own decisions, especially in matters of the heart, even if it means going against her father's wishes. This work considers Capulet in \u003ci\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/i\u003e as an inept father to Juliet and Prospero in \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e as an able mentor to Miranda; Hermia in \u003ci\u003eA Midsummer Night's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, Jessica in \u003ci\u003eThe Merchant of Venice\u003c\/i\u003e and Desdemona in \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e as daughters who rebel against their fathers; Hero in \u003ci\u003eMuch Ado About Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e, Lavinia in \u003ci\u003eTitus Andronicus\u003c\/i\u003e and Ophelia in \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e as daughters who acquiesce; Bianca in \u003ci\u003eThe Taming of the Shrew\u003c\/i\u003e and Goneril and Regan in \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e as daughters who cunningly play the good girl role; Portia in \u003ci\u003eThe Merchant of Venice\u003c\/i\u003e, Viola in \u003ci\u003eTwelfth Night\u003c\/i\u003e and Rosalind in \u003ci\u003eAs You Like It\u003c\/i\u003e as daughters who act in their fathers' places; and Marina in \u003ci\u003ePericles\u003c\/i\u003e, Perdita in \u003ci\u003eThe Winter's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e and Cordelia in \u003ci\u003eLear\u003c\/i\u003e as daughters who forgive and heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSharon Hamilton\u003c\/b\u003e teaches electives in Shakespeare, English literature and cross-cultural literature at Buckingham Browne \u0026amp; Nichols School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
