What were the expectations for daughters in shakespeare?

I presume you are asking about Shakespeare's plays here. In the plays, the parents of the daughters usually expect that the parents will get to choose a mate for their daughters. They can sometimes get quite violent about it (in Romeo and Juliet or A Midsummer Night's Dream, for example). Nevertheless, there is only one woman in all of Shakespeare who is married against her wishes and that is Margaret, wife of Henry VI. Hermia, Juliet, Imogen and Anne Page avoid the arranged marriages, and Desdemona marries secretly without even asking her father. Is it expected that daughters will marry? Sure, but it is equally expected of sons. Pairing off and marrying was and is a happy thing.


Why is Oedipus more concerned about his daughters than his son?

All four children were products of incest and as such were looked down upon in society. His sons could do manual labor and get by. But women in Greek times were strictly mothers, wives and what might have been considered homemakers. So the daughters would have to get married but no one would want to marry them because Oedipus is both their dad and their brother.

What does Oedipus fear will happen to his daughters in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That they will be alone, picked on and poor is what Oedipus fears will happen to his daughters in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus anguishes over the innocent youth of his two small daughters, the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene. He fears that they will suffer cruelly for his criminal acts and immoral behavior. He worries that without a guardian such as their uncle King Creon, the girls will experience cruelty and poverty and that they will not be allowed to marry eligible men and have children to care for them in their old age.
