Titel 4 Shakespeare - Love and gender

In this course we investigate and discuss the terms 'love' and 'gender roles', and how these have been portrayed in English literature from Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' in the Renaissance to literature and non-fiction in the 21st century.
What is love and why is it a recurring theme in literature?
What norms and ideals exist, during these same periods, when speaking of gender roles?
