HON 244 - Psychology and Dramatic Literature

Institution:

Cedar Crest College

Subject:

Description:

Since the time of Aristotle, drama and psychology have been inseparably linked. Plot, character and dialogue are all shaped by the workings of the mind and the psyche. The emergence of psychotherapy in the 20th century has led playwrights to focus on behavior and create unique and fascinating characters. This course exposes students to several important works of 19th and 20th century drama, in a discussion-style format. Using major psychological theories, students are able to develop their own interpretations of stage characters and the motivations for their actions.
