They have been asked to contribute an essay to a magazine – Reinventing Shakespeare – for Queensland literature students on the value of such transformations. A.B.

In your answer you should consider the following: * A comparison of the way in which the different texts depict relationships, marriage and gender roles. * The use of stereotyping * The use of language techniques as contrasted to film techniques (aesthetic features) * The context in which the text was created and the effect of the values and attitudes underpinning the text on the audience.
