Professor Clare R. Kinney, who focuses on Questions and Dilemmas of Tragedy, explores Shakespeare's works, which have now been in existence for over 400 years. The plays have been celebrated ever since their beginnings, and divulging into how and why Shakespeare wrote what he did is an endless maze of more drama than the plays themselves.
Watch as Professor Kinney explores and celebrates the beautiful poetry within Shakespeare's six most commonly-known tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus. You'll learn about Shakespeare's distinct style, something that many critics agree no other writer in the world has ever rivaled. You'll explore the suffering and transgression of the characters in these six beautiful works and learn how to analyze the tangled relationships between Shakespeare's famed complex characters. Professor Kinney also pays special attention to the role of women in Shakespeare's writing.
If you'd like to explore the racial and gender barriers in Othello, see the consequences of bad decisions in King Lear, learn about Lady Macbeth ironically tearing her marriage apart in Macbeth, and much more, this is the set for you. Revisiting these timeless works with an expert will absolutely captivate and enthrall anyone who has an interest in classic literature.
