    she doesn't look at notes constantly, and she goes nicely through the lesson in a solid structure, easy to follow, very adult oriented teaching, I think great teachers should teach like this

      There was this one lecture I was watching from this Professor where she discussed the fact that because men played women characters back in the Elizabethan Era, it may have influenced the way Shakespeare wrote the women characters in his plays. Idk but it was a very interesting topic!

    Being sequestered at home as a result of Covid 19, I decided not to waste the time and have been fishing through RUclips for every Shakespeare play. I did this several years ago and found many more versions of the plays than are there now. There used to be the whole series of BBC Shakespeare plays from the 1970s, which had now famous actors, in their first roles and new to television. Then I found these brilliant lectures to flesh them out after watching therm, before watching a second version.
    While at school back in th 1950s / 1960s, Shakespeare was always on the curriculum - a play a term !! Those of us who are my age, when everyone received a classic education, with Latin from 6 and Greek - if you were bright - from 8 ! We cut our teeth on all classic literature from the age of 6 or 7 ! Our teachers were like this professor, in it to educate and widen our personalities The language therefore, is familiar and not difficult. Then, for French and Spanish 'A' levels at 16 years old, you had 4 classic books in those languages from the 16th century - Racine, Moliere / Calderon etc, to date, so we had to be fluent in the equivalent Shakespearean English, in those languages as well.

      @joelangford7601 2 года назад

      This is exciting stuff, but I don't understand her objection to "seems like." Does she want you to say "is like"? This "seems like" a hard and fast rule for her, which can squelch a meaningful discussion or completely valid ideas one is attempting to express. If I were in the class, I might be too intimidated to express my thoughts for fear I could not meet her standards of articulation.

  • @KozzmoKnight

    Good point on the comedies vs the tragedies. It depends on the production, for a low budget Shakespeare in the Park atmosphere, I prefer the comedies. There is a slapstick element and crowd interaction that make them very relatable. The tragedies take more recourses to bring out. I would include the Histories in this. That said, there are some very good movies to watch, the BBC is always good. The Hamlet with Dave Tennent is incredible. I also really enjoy The Hollow Crown for the War of the Roses.

      I will give a thought. Nobody knows who Shakespeare was. He also plagiarized a lot. Almost none of his plot lines did he actually write. Go further, many people question if he even wrote some of the plays he's accredited for writing. Is it possible that Shakespeare was not just one person. Perhaps an editor, with many writers under his study. An analogy, take Walt Disney. That would explain his extraordinary genius.

      Dolphins, that deals with physics. It is an old proverb, that any sailor on an island would know, a storm is on the horizon. That is due to atmospheric pressure. There is another saying, when sound travels far and wide, a storm is soon to betide. The clouds form in a high pressure zone. the dolphins react to the pressure by rising to the surface.
