Do Shakespeare's plays Romeo and Juliet Much Ado Hamlet and Taming of the Shrew all share a similar motif?

They all explore strained relationships between fathers and daughters. In Romeo and Juliet, Capulet goes berserk when he finds that he has wrongly assumed that Juliet will want to marry the man he has chosen for her. In Much Ado Leonato breaks his daughter's heart by abandoning her when she is slandered by Claudio and Don Pedro. In Hamlet, Polonius uses his daughter as a tool to extract information from Hamlet and treats her totally differently from her brother Laertes. In Taming of the Shrew, Baptista hopes to do the socially acceptable thing and find husbands for both of his daughters by refusing to allow anyone to marry Bianca while Kate remains unwed, thus making Bianca unhappy, and accepting Petruchio with only a token enquiry into whether Kate actually wants to marry him.

Falconry is the practice of hunting with falcons. Juliet compares herself to an untamed falcon who is in need of taming. She imagines being tamed by Romeo in the hood of night.
