1. I want to be able to understand Shakespeare. He's one of the most famous playwrights (maybe the most famous), but either because he was brilliant, or because he's been gone for a while, the language he uses is hard to follow.
2. As well as understanding, I want Shakespeare to be applicable. I want to be able to apply what Shakespeare is saying to life, in his time as well as now.
3. Use scholarly information. Looking back at historical context, gaining perspectives and ideas. I want to read up about Shakespeare and his plays so that I get more than just a storyline in my head to work with.
4. Enjoy it. Shakespeare is supposed to be fun and make you laugh. I want to enjoy this class, as well as just reading his works!!!!
