Five Favorite Shakespeare Plays

Though students will write short synopses each week, the primary emphasis in this class is upon savoring the excellence of Shakespeare's writing through attentive reading and active discussion.  We will read one play each week and spend the class time remarking on such essentials as plot, characters, themes, writing style, meter, etc.  Our discussions will often center on those insightful lessons about human nature and life in a fallen world that Shakespeare offers his readers through his dramatic writings.
