Perceptions of Female Heroism from Two Heroines: Portia and Isabel
Zhu Yuanyuan
Abstract—The paper examined similarities and differences
in two female characters Shakespeare created: Portia and
Isabel in The Merchant of Venice and Measure for Measure
respectively. To understand why the two heroines act
differently under similar circumstances, the paper compared
traits of the characters and ways in achieving female heroism,
and it is concluded that disparity in the two characters’
reaction occurs as a result of the two’s distinctive profiles.
Index Terms—Female heroism, Shakespeare, comparative study, Portia, Isabel.
