Shakespeare's depictions of powerful women in three dramas. The questions Hamlet raises about Gertrude's motives and how Sigmund Freud's theory of the Oedipus Complex made the queen a pivotal character. Antony and Cleopatra's tale of sexuality and political cunning and the symbolic contrast the play draws between East and West. French-born Margaret D'Anjou as a powerful general and the voice of history in Henry VI and Richard III.
