LAIS 414 - Heroes And Antiheroes: a Tragic View

Institution:

Colorado School of Mines

Subject:

Description:

This course features heroes and antiheroes (average folks, like most of us), but because it is difficult to be heroic unless there are one or more villains lurking in the shadows, there will have to be an Iago or Caesar or a politician or a member of the bureaucracy to overcome. Webster's defines heroic as 'exhibiting or marked by courage and daring.'Courage and daring are not confined to the battlefield, of course. One can find them in surprising places-in the community (Ibsen's Enemy of the People), in the psychiatric ward (Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) , in the military(Heller's Catch-22), on the river (Twain' s The Adventuresof Huckleberry Finn or in a "bachelor pad" (Simon? ? Last othe Red Hot Lovers). Prerequisite: LAIS100. Prerequisite or corequisite: SYGN200. 3 hours seminar; 3 semester hours.
