In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
I will visually represent the concept of archetypes, fate, and tragic flaw by using a presentation that resembles tarot readings. Im using tarot as a shorthand to explore Shakespearean archetypes and demonstrate how, through fortune, chance, and their own flaws, these characters change and struggle with a new identity, a new archetype by the end of the play, right before their deaths. AT NO POINT WILL I ENGAGE IN ACTUAL FORTUNE TELLING, and this course is not intended to be a Tarot reading. I mention this to make it clear that I am not attempting to do any kind of "magic" or to impede on anyone's spiritual beliefs.
We will refer to the text of Shakespeare's tragedies, (except, "Romeo and Juliet" which I discuss in another class).
These include: "Titus Andronicus", "Julius Caesar", "Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear", "Macbeth", "Antony and Cleopatra" and "Coriolanus."
