Inhalt | An extended critical journey into the staged lives of four female protagonists, their relations and dramatic functions in four comedies, will lead us to a current assessment of William Shakespeare's women's engendered roles in their respective comic settings. "The Taming of the Shrew", "Much Ado About Nothing", "As You Like It", and "Twelfth Night" feature particularly resourceful heroines in their pursuit of happiness and subsequent marriage. Thus, the multifarious role playing of Kate, the shrew, Beatrice, the wit, Rosalind, the educator, and Viola, the androgynous go-between, will be the focus of our scholarly attention. |
Literatur | "The Taming of the Shrew", "Much Ado About Nothing", "As You Like It", and "Twelfth Night" should be read by the beginning of the term. We will be using the Arden edition (ordered at the 'Labyrinth' bookstore) and the "Englisch-deutsche Studienausgabe der Dramen Shakespeares", also available on the Reserved Shelves. |
Bemerkungen | Please make sure you are not registered for more than one of the parallel courses by September 8. After this date, you will be allocated to one of the courses by the instructors to make room for those on the waiting list. |
