What were the main ideas we learned this week?
This week we started our new project, the King Lear/Macbeth critical theory project. I've really wanted to read Macbeth for the longest time and I'm really excited that I get to. I am a huge Shakespeare buff and reading either of the plays would be great. The critical theory my group picked was Mythical/Archetypal, which sounds very interesting and fits in with Macbeth very well. I’m interested to read the play and find the connections between it and our critical theory. This should be a fun unit to really dive into.
We also read two PoWs, both were very interesting. They dealt with the idea of how to be remembered after death. Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 146” thought that it is your soul that will be remembered and Shelley thought it is the physical things in his poem “Ozymandias”. I personally believe that it depends on who you are in order to argue which one is better. I can see the points for both so I really don’t have my own opinion.
This was a good interesting week.
