[edit] Tagged for tone

The article reads somewhat like an essay on the poem instead of an article about it. The article Venus and Adonis (Shakespeare poem) is a good model for this one.

[edit] Other raped women?

Who are Shakespeare's other raped women? I think that should be in there. I honestly can't think of any. Closest I get is the near-rape at the end of Two Gentlemen of Verona. Wrad 19:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Titus's daughter, I guess. Paul B 01:19, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I just read that today, any others? Wrad 03:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I guess Miranda is nearly raped by Caliban in The Tempest. Wrad 18:02, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

the classic stage direction might be the way to include Lavinia: "Enter the empress' sons with Lavinia, her hands cut off, and her tongue cut out, and ravish'd" - Titus Andronicus. Act II, scene IV. - Nunh-huh 01:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
