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.


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

Oedipus is more concerned about his daughters, Antigone and Ismene, than his sons, Polynices and Eteocles, because in ancient Greek society, daughters were seen as extensions of their fathers' honor and reputation. The daughters' actions and well-being reflected directly on the father's standing in the community. Additionally, the daughters were responsible for carrying on the family lineage and ensuring the family's legacy, which was crucial in a patriarchal society like ancient Greece. Oedipus may also feel a sense of guilt and responsibility towards his daughters due to his own tragic fate and the repercussions it had on his family.
