ENGL 184Y - Shakespeare’s ComedySemester Hours: 3
Comedy does not mean “funny”! It’s the structure of drama in which the reversal of fortune goes from bad to good, and the resolution of social conflicts through recognition, union and reunion. For Shakespeare, this means the formation of a new society out of a flawed one, through the institutions of class and marriage. This class will trace that idea through several of Shakespeare’s so-called “Comedies” including A Comedy of Errors, As You Like It, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night … Oh, and they’re really funny!
