ENGL289I

Acting Human: Shakespeare and the Drama of Identity

As an introduction to Shakespeare, we will explore eight plays, discuss concepts of dramatic realism, and analyze the ways Shakespeare teaches us to ask questions about his characters and ultimately about ourselves. Our reading list may include Titus Andronicus, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Troilus and Cressida, Anthony and Cleopatra, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest.
