The article reads somewhat like an essay on the poem instead of an article about it. The article Venus and Adonis (Shakespeare poem) is a good model for this one.
Who are Shakespeare's other raped women? I think that should be in there. I honestly can't think of any. Closest I get is the near-rape at the end of Two Gentlemen of Verona. Wrad 19:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
In Act 2 Scene v of Twelfth Night, Maria has penned a false love letter from (as he is meant to surmise) Malvolio's mistress & sealed it with her Lucrece. Presumably, this is an antique pagan seal image intaglio perhaps set in a ring. The Lucrece pagan myth may actually pun on Maria (as in the Virgin Mary of Christianity) but only through an heretical twist on the rape. 124.188.100.155 ( talk) 09:49, 2 June 2014 (UTC) Ian Ison
I removed “The raped woman” section. It is unsourced original research, and has been tagged for a long time. The content of the brief section is: “Lucrece is described as if she were a work of art. Tarquin's rape of her is described as if she were a fortress under attack—conquering her various physical attributes. Although Lucrece is raped, the poem offers an apology to absolve her of guilt (lines 1240–1246). [sic] Like Shakespeare's other raped women, Lucrece gains symbolic value: through her suicide, her body metamorphoses into a political symbol.” Oxcross ( talk) 11:52, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
