What was William Shakespeare's opinion of marriage?

Answer 1

William Shakespeare viewed marriage as a very important social contract. He felt family was the foundation on which societies are built. However, he was very much opposed to marriage for the sake of love, passion, and romance.

Answer 2

A somewhat remote one, since he and his wife could not have been able to see each other very often. They did always remain on affectionate terms, and Shakespeare returned home to Stratford when he retired.

Answer 3

Very important. That was how most women got jobs. It was also the hope of men and women to produce children who were legitimate, who were the result of a marital union. Illegitimate children were socially inferior (although being the illegitimate son of an important person could make you important also).

Answer 4

well he did get married so he must of liked it

Answer 5

He had more than one wife so he is pretty lenient on the subject.
