AB  - Argues that in the comedies, Shakespeare stages multiple gazes "that lay bare blazons as male fantasies and, as such, open up a differential space that challenges male thinking on femininity." Concludes that by opening itself to the beloved's gaze, the blazon clears "a mental space for the possibility of registering the irreducible difference of the feminine thought, which patriarchal thinking cannot grasp.'
