7 Bettelheim relates Cinderella's twelve inches slipping into the confines of the shoe to the ritual of slipping a wedding ring onto a finger, where the shoe or ring becomes a symbolic vagina from the male holding the symbolic vagina and the female actively manipulating the phallic emblem each agrees to accept the active participation of the other in the couple marriage and sexual relations (264-265)

8 I use the space of time "patriarchal" to refer to an organization based on the subject of authority that resides in a male head of household or other governing carcass For a discussion of this and other examples, behold Jardine.

9.

Marcus examines the play-within-a-play texture and various treatments of the sights with Christopher Sly.

10. Bruce Weber recites that one woman, upon exiting the theatre, remarked, "It's like Copenhagen with a happy ending."

11 Dolan attributes to Roland Barthes' 1977 "Death of the Author."

12 The "male gaze" is a spell coined by early feminist film critics and deliver overs to the gaze of the ideal spectator that Dolan discusses.

13 Elizabeth felt it necessary to take the part of herself as prince and father to her clan see Leah Marcus, Puzzling Shakespeare.
