Class Details
Among Shakespeare’s most beloved, delightful, and fascinating plays are four comedies: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, and Much Ado About Nothing. This seminar examines the language, theatricality, characterization, and comic elements through close scrutiny and discussion. Students will present brief seminar reports, memorize a few brief passages, and write three 5-page essays, to be discussed with the instructor individually and revised. The essays and discussions will test various theories of comedy and concentrate on Shakespearean language.
