My experience with Shakespeare is rather limited. During high school i enroled in a class taught by Skip Gardner. He was a stonch and rigid professor. As far as high school classes were concerned, his was no high school class, one was to earn the AP English name. In his class i studied a vast voriety of works, some of which Shakespeare was included. We studied Mechbeth, Hamlet, Mush Ado about Nothing, Romie and Juliet, and Othello. I have watched several of these plays on vedio, most of them staring Kenneth Branagh. The thing i remember most of these classes and decisions is the climax of analysis of the plays characters, their personalities and traits, as well as the plot and over all design. Since then i have been fascinated by Shakespeare and the greater depth and view his works can bring to ones life.
My interest with Shakespeare includes learning of and understanding what makes his writing great. What is it that makes Shakespeare's works last through the ages, what makes them masterpieces. I love to talk about and see the fragmented pieces of pure human nature ruggedly exposed in his characters and stories. I love to learn of the architectural design of his plays that makes them engineering marvels. I love to see the pitfalls of human character and culture vividly exposed in writ. My interest is in a class experience to see these traits come to fruition.
