ENGL 201 - Shakespeare's Other Worlds

Institution:

Williams College

Subject:

English

Description:

Ghosts and witches, magicians and spirits--all are part of the supernatural worlds that so often intrude upon what we're tempted to assume is a drama's "true reality." This course will examine six of Shakespeare's greatest--and strangest--plays by considering the consequences of the collision of these realms--their powers and limitations, their illusions and revelations. Plays will include A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, The Tempest, and The Winter's Tale.
