We begin our reading of ancient literature by learning the way people lived 2000 years before Christ and discovering that little has changed since then. Time-tested works like the epics of Homer and the Greek plays reinforce the fact that we can learn from these ancient texts to live our own lives more wisely. The advent of Christianity changed the way the West looked at life; but medieval literature, while serious in its mission to teach Christian views, is filled with fun and fantasy."

Not much is known about Gentle Will Shakespeare?s life, which is ironic in the sense that he defined, in many ways, what it means to be a human being. This class will take a peek into how the period of time known as The Renaissance created our ideas about human life today. We will focus on the dramas of Shakespeare, plays that shape what it means to be human, plays that continue to pose questions to us: Is feeling more important than thinking? What happens to a person who attains great power? Does knowledge keep us from doing? Should we be loyal at all costs? We will look at a few of the great movies that have been made from these plays.
