Comments(2) I enjoyed this class very much. In reading Shakespeare, I learned a lot from all his controversial topics from tragedy to love. My favorite was Measure for Measure because it deals with complex issues such as justice, mercy, love and their relationship to pride and humility. I’m pretty sure that I will be able to influence other people as well.
The complexity of this play might lead one to fully question what is considered to be right and by what measure it is so. Internally I wondered just that. Would I deceive someone or some people to teach a lesson or make a point? What are sacrifice someone’s virtue so I would have to? I wonder…
I took this class because it was a requirement course since my minor is English. Prior to taking the class I had this fear about Shakespeare because believe it or not I hadn’t read much by him prior to the class. I always thought his writing was so complexed that it would resemble another language when reading it, and don’t even consider trying to analyze it. But I must say that the class turned out to be way better than expected. Cultural Capital in my opinion is extremely important in the corporate world as well as everyday life and as a result I believe what was gained from this class can be applied in various environments.
