In this course we will read two tragedies and one comedy by William Shakespeare: Macbeth, Hamlet and As You Like It, with a particular focus on fear and pain. The analysis of the plays will be combined with additional discussions of essays on the theory of fear and pain. Is there a distinct definition of fear and how can it be separated from anxiety, precariousness, angst and similar emotions? What are the typical components of a tragedy and how are they linked to fear and anxiety? How is the pain of a tragic hero depicted on stage? And how are fear and pain illustrated in Shakespeare’s drama? These and many other questions will be at the centre of the course’s attention. We will discuss and apply the most essential concepts of drama analysis, like methods of figure characterization and the categories of time and space. A focus will be on how gender impacts on the way fear and pain are experienced by the characters.
The course will be reading-intensive and students will be expected to be familiar not only with the primary texts but also with the theory essays. All relevant theoretical texts will be made available through digicampus and students are expected to buy their own copies of Shakespeare’s plays.
