    Degraded Role of Women in The Merry Wives of Windsor     In Shakespeare's comedy, The Merry Wives of Windsor, there are two plots that ultimately converge into the concept of marriage; one is the antics executed by the wives, and the other is the marriage of Anne Page. Both of these plots subversively yield a disheartening attitude towards the view of women within the scope of the play. Wives in The Merry Wives of Windsor are not acknowledged as much beyond commodities, not to be entrusted

    FOREIGNIZATION There is few examples of foreignisation in ‘Merry Madagascar’, although the movie is rather short (about 21 minutes). Below there is an example in which the translator did not substitute the proper name with more familiar one (for polish audience). Lichtenstein would sound odd and foreign for children, as well as for the adults. It was the translator’s purpose, though. Example 1. ORIGINAL WIERZBIĘTA’S TRANSLATION I hope you’ve remembered about Lichtenstein. Ale pamiętaliście o Lichtensztajnie

Because we were also good friends, I, of course, agreed. He was driving home from a basketball camp and said he would call again when he was on his way over. I thought nothing of it because
