Kareen Dorothee Seidler
Comments
In this seminar, we will study three Shakespearean tragedies: Hamlet, Othello and Romeo and Juliet. Then we will look at two modern comedies which are adaptations of these tragedies: Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and Ann-Marie MacDonald's Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet). We will analyze how the modern authors use and adapt the Shakespearean plays, stories, language, techniques, and conventions.
