文摘Topical performance: the plays in differenttheatrical contexts
These varying interpretations of the relationship between Petruchio and Kathe-rina are partly matters of academic or scholarly analysis, but they also abut widercultural notions about what is considered appropriate in relations between menand women outside the theatre. Since Shakespeare has such a privileged sta-tus in English-speaking cultures, particularly in the education system and inthe subsidised Royal Shakespeare Company in the UK, there are considerableexpectations that his works should conform to current ideas of social propriety.If Shakespeare were merely a writer of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,we might expect his attitude to, say, the role of women within marriage, to bedifferent from our own. But because, culturally, we have invested in the ideathat Shakespeare is timeless (chapter 7, 'History' has more on this), we havetended to want to see in Shakespeare the anticipation of our own attitudes:productions of The Taming of the Shrew become, in this critical context, a mir-ror of wider attitudes towards women's roles in society. Or, to take anotherexample, Othello, a play in which a marriage between a black man and a whitewoman ends in wife-murder, used to be seen as a warning against such 'unnat-ural' interracial liaisons; it has been reinvented as a play generally seen to bedisinterestedly about, rather than partisanly enacting, the terrible and corrosiveeffects of racism. We don't want Shakespeare to look like an unreconstructedsexist or racist, after all: that would really screw up our continued investmentin the literary canon.
