As You Like It vs. Merchant of Venice / Shakespeare's Portrayal of Women

The characters of Rosalind from 'As You Like It' and Portia from 'A Merchant of Venice' are two cases in point. This 10 page paper examines the use of dialogue, character and costuming in the presentation of gender roles. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
