Subject:

Description:

Tragic drama may hold the unique distinction of serving as the narrative vehicle for the most miserable, oppressed, and wronged, and yet providing great pleasure to audiences for time immemorial. This class will expose students to significant tragic dramas from ancient Greece, Elizabethan England, and modern America, and will equip them with the tools to understand the plot, themes, and context for each play, and weigh the meaning of each play both as a historical document and as a living example of our culture. Lectures and readings will provide biographical and cultural context, definitions, and basic themes and problems, which will be expanded on via directed discussion, student presentations, and written reflections. Plays by Sophocles, William Shakespeare, Eugene O'Neill, and Arthur Miller may be included. Competences: - A-1-A, A-1-C, A-1-E, H-1-X. Faculty: David Morris
