Elbow's wife in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure?
815973
Froth insulted Elbow's wife or is insolent or rude to her.  We aren't told exactly how.  Elbow brings Pompey to court and attempts to prosecute Froth for an unspecified insult to his, Elbow's, wife. However, with his comical mispronunciations and unconscious double meanings he is a stereotypical clown, and he cannot make a sensible accusation. He is foiled by Pompey's humorous evasions, which result in the dismissal of the case. The episode serves as comic relief from the increasingly tense main plot. It also illustrates vividly the world of petty vice and crime, standing in striking contrast with the more rigid world of the Duke, Angelo, and Isabella.\n\nThese links should help you.

Polyneices and Eteocles, two brothers leading opposite sides in Thebes' civil war, have both been killed in battle. Creon, new ruler of Thebes, has declared that Eteocles will be honored and Polyneices disgraced. The rebel brother's body will not be sanctified by holy rites, and it will lay unburied to be the food of carrion animals. Antigone and Ismene are the sisters of the dead brothers, and they are now the last children of the ill-fated Oedipus. In the opening of the play, Antigone brings Ismene outside the city gates late at night for a secret meeting: Antigone wants to bury Polyneices' body, in defiance of Creon's edict. Ismene refuses to help her, fearing the death penalty, and she is unable to dissuade Antigone from going to do the deed by herself.\n\nCreon enters, along with the Chorus of Theban elders. He seeks their support in the days to come, and in particular their support for his edict regarding Polyneices' body. The Chorus pledges their support. A Sentry enters, reporting fearfully that the body has been buried. A furious Creon orders the Sentry to find the culprit or face death himself. The Sentry leaves, but after a short absence he returns, bringing Antigone with him. Creon questions her, and she does not deny what she has done. She argues unflinchingly with Creon about the morality of the edict and the morality of what she has done. Creon grows angrier, and, thinking Ismene must have helped her, summons the girl. Ismene tries to confess falsely to the crime, seeking to die with her sister, but Antigone will have none of it. Creon orders that the two women be temporarily locked up inside.\n\nHaemon, Creon's son and Antigone's fiancé, enters to pledge allegiance of his father. He initially seems willing to obey Creon. But when Haemon tries gently to persuade his father to spare Antigone, the discussion deteriorates and the two men are soon bitterly insulting each other. Haemon leaves, vowing to never see Creon again.\n\nCreon decides to spare Ismene but to imprison Antigone in a cave. She is brought out of the house, and she bewails her fate and defends her actions one last time. She is taken away, with the Chorus expressing great sorrow because of what is going to happen to her.\n\nTeiresias, the blind prophet, enters. He warns Creon that the gods side with Antigone. Creon accuses Teiresias of being corrupt, and Teiresias responds that because of Creon's mistakes, he will lose one child for the crimes of leaving Polyneices unburied and putting Antigone into the earth. All of Greece will despise him, and the sacrificial offerings of Thebes will not be accepted by the gods.\n\nThe Chorus, terrified, asks Creon to take their advice. He assents, and they tell him that he should bury Polyneices and free Antigone. Creon, shaken, agrees to do it. He leaves with a retinue of men to help him right his previous mistakes. The Chorus delivers a choral ode on/to the god Dionysis, and then a Messenger enters. He tells them that Haemon has killed himself. Eurydice, Creon's wife and Haemon's mother, enters and asks the Messenger to tell her everything. The Messenger reports that Haemon and Antigone have both taken their own lives. Eurydice disappears into the palace.\n\nCreon enters, carrying Haemon's body. He understands that his own actions have caused these events. A Second Messenger arrives to tell Creon and the Chorus that Eurydice has killed herself. With her last breath, she cursed her husband. Creon blames himself for everything that has happened, and, a broken man, he asks his servants to help him inside. The order he valued so much has been protected, and he is still the king, but he has acted against the gods and lost his child and his wife. The Chorus closes by saying that the gods punish the proud, but punishment brings wisdom. \n\n\nSee this for a summary and analysis:\n\nhttp://www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/titles/antigone/

I love Sonnet 130!\n\nI like this site, too:\n\nhttp://www.shakespeare-online.com/sonnets/130detail.html\n\nIt has the poem paraphrased and analyzed.\n\nMore information, including quotes from other writers is at:\nhttp://members.aol.com/danieledg1/sonnets.html\n\nI hope Shakespeare's mistress had a good sense of humor and that she waited around for the end of the sonnet.

I know she was married to Hepaesthus the Greek god who was good at smithing and was lame, but her lover was Ares the god of war. One of Aphrodites sons was the ever famous CUPID.

Well, my friend did a paper about this actually and bent my ear about it. Basically what she said was Shakespear only had one Jew in his plays, and that was Shylock from the Merchant of Venice. and the answer she came up with was, maybe. there is not enough evidence to say one way or another if he was racist.

This point has been argued back and forth.  Many people believe that the Macbeths had a child that died young creating resentment and helping to explain their lack of humanity towards other children.  On the other hand, a lady of Lady Macbeth's standing would not have served as wet-nurse to her own children so there is a lie implicit in this from the get go.  It is likely that the story of Macbeth as told at the time included more detail but so far scholars haven't seemed to be able to locate them.  \nDecide for yourself.  Lady Macbeth may simply be calling on her femininity as a reference without being literal.

I can only think of Juliet in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"!  Are you thinking fictional ones or real ones?  There are some in ancient myths...

I'm not sure if you mean scene four, but when the the Nurse is going to tell Romeo to meet Juliet later, the three characters are in a rowdy and "manly" mood, which they express by joking about women and sex.  This becomes embarrassing for the Nurse, who becomes part of their jokes.
