Course Description
For hundreds of years Shakespeare has delighted readers and audiences with his wit and wisdom. But do the writings of Shakespeare flow out of the Christian Middle Ages or launch a downward trend away from Christianity in the modern world? In Shakespeare 2 we continue our quest in pursuit of an answer.
Shakespeare 202 focuses on three more of the most popular plays. Shakespeare's works may be divided into three genres: comedy, tragedy, and history. In this course students engage in an in-depth analysis of one each: Julius Caesar, Macbeth, and Much Ado About Nothing. Students read the play itself and an insightful commentary from a Christian perspective by Peter Leithart, taken from his Brightest Heaven of Invention - A Christian Guide to Six Shakespeare Plays.
