Extrinsic Element
1. Culture
Shakespeare in Lovemovie reflects feminist spirit, especially women’s inequality,
which women cannot act in play, women should followthe role, and women cannot
disobey the statement role. There are significant parts which notice to the gender
inequality. Firstly, in the Elizabethan Theater, there is a law that women cannot act.
Women’s characters are played by men, it can be viewed when Viola disguises as
Thomas Kent and she acts as Romeo on the stage, Viola wears a mustache and
trousers, nobody knows her disguise. Sam is a young man who should be made up
like woman, because he acts as Juliette, and Ralph, a man who acts as Nurse on
theShakespeare’s play.
Secondly, there are many men who explore women. Men think that women’s position
just as the fulfiller of men’s desire. It can be looked that there are many mistresses
and prostitutes.
Thirdly, women cannot choose their own lovers. Woman who has high status should
marry man with high status too, even though she does not love him.
B. Character
1. William Shakespeare: as a struggling writer trying to find his voice, and in order to
find that, he must first find a muse. If Willy is going to write romance, he needs some
romance in his life, so he tries all the women in his life to see who can get his quill
feather up.
The film also portrays Slick Willy as a total dreamboat. He spends a lot of time
staring off into space with a quill pen clutched in his ink-stained fingertips, and
starving artists have never been sexier.
He's usually looking at himself in the mirror instead of writing. He's as proud of his
writing as he is of his looks, crowing, "God, I'm good!" when he gets a sonnet just
right. Oh Shakespeare, you're so vain.
2. Viola De Lesseps: She rebels against her parents—and society at large—by dressing
as a man and acting in one of Shakespeare's plays. And she rebels against her
arranged engagement to Lord Wessex by having an affair with Shakespeare. Viola is
a great actor on many levels.
 3. Queen Elizabeth: She's intimidating, bossy, and blunt. And, even though we wouldn't
say that to her face, she would find out we said it, because she is also exceptionally
intelligent and keenly aware of her surroundings.
She's quite compassionate toward Viola, so she likely kept her lips zipped for a
change because she knew Will makes her happy. The Queen identifies with Viola
because both characters are women doing men's roles.
4. Lord Wessex: He's humorless. He's dumpy. He's a jerk. Wessex is insecure because
he is a man with a title but no money.
5. Mr. Huge Fennyman: Hugh Fennyman is "the money"— the man who finances the
plays that Mr. Henslowe puts on at the Rose. When he lights a fire under Henslowe's
feet (literally) to make him pay back his debts, Henslowe lights a fire under
Shakespeare's rear (his Shakesrear if you will) to write a new play.
6. Philip Henslowe: he is the owner of the Rose, the theatre that puts on Shakespeare's
comedies. Henslowe's an idiot with bad teeth who thinks that Romeo and Ethel, the
Pirate's Daughter is a "good title."
7. Christoper Marlowe: Christopher "Kit" Marlowe is based on a real-life historical
figure of the same name. The real-life Christopher Marlowe was young and dreamy,
with flowing hair and gorgeous eyes, and he was a successful playwright.
C. Moral Value
1. Love is stronger than hate.
2. Love doesn’t always have each other.
3. Don’t depend our happiness into someone or something but ourself.
4. Love normally, because excessive is not good
