Marjorie Garber examines the rites of passage and maturation
patterns--"coming of age"--in Shakespeare's plays. Citing examples
from virtually the entire Shakespeare canon, she pays particular
attention to the way his characters grow and change at points of
personal crisis. Among the crises Garber discusses are: separation
from parent or sibling in preparation for sexual love and the
choice of husband or wife; the use of names and nicknames as a sign
of individual exploits or status; virginity, sexual initiation and
the acceptance of sexual maturity, childbearing and parenthood;
and, finally, attitudes toward death and dying.
