Student Blog: An Essential Shakespeare Literature Class
by Student Blogger: Mia Van Deloo - February 11, 2023
This quarter, I am enrolled in a Shakespeare literature class focused on his plays from the Jacobean period. For each play, we dissect the essential themes of the play and then look at specific passages that reveal specific aspects of character motives and plot points. While this class is not in the theatre department, I’ve noticed a lot of dramaturgical approaches to analyzing Shakespeare in this class.
