- Oktatás célja
- The course intends to focus on “Shakespeare-remakes” or drama adaptations, which abandon the protagonists of the early-modern plays to place one or more side characters into the centre of the action and attention. By destroying the original focal point, these remade, transformed plays will always provide new and thought-provoking interpretations to the Shakespeare text, and will help students to form their own questions and reload their interpretations not only of the adaptations but the Shakespeare-corpus as well.
- Tantárgy tartalma
- The classes will be traditional text-reading seminars on the one hand, but the texts will be supported with additional intermedial content, such as fine arts, film, music and other artforms, which will possibly make the classes more intriguing and colourful. From the Shakespeare-corpus it is mainly Hamlet and King Lear that will be discussed, and plays based on characters overshadowed by the protagonists in the early-modern texts: Gertrude, Fortinbras, Ophelia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern; and Lear’s wife and daughters and his Fool.
