The purpose of the course is to familiarize the students with Shakespeare’s works and their contemporary interpretations. This course aims to provide an in-depth exploration of William Shakespeare’s texts, focusing on key themes, characters, and narratives to foster a comprehensive understanding of his literary contributions. It will investigate how contemporary adaptations and interpretations reflect current social, cultural, and political contexts, thereby keeping Shakespeare’s works relevant in today's world. Students will develop critical analysis skills by engaging with both the original texts and their modern renditions, using various interpretative lenses. The course encourages comparative analysis, enabling students to identify the influences of historical and cultural shifts on these reinterpretations. Additionally, it aims to promote creative engagement, encouraging students to reimagine Shakespeare's texts for contemporary audiences. Through discussions, presentations, and written assignments, students will enhance their communication skills, articulating their insights and analyses in a clear and effective manner. |
