It deals with people not > as we would like them to be, but as many of them really are.” (Stories from > Shakespeare). Thematically, the play is concerned with the human capacity for > evil, as well as for charity and forgiveness. Marjorie Garber writes: “The > play contains passages of brilliant verse, and powerful passionate action” > (Shakespeare After All) We will begin by discussing this play’s social, > literary and religious influences. We will read selected scenes in class, and > discuss questions on interpretation, including: language, theme, settings, > characters, performance. > > Reading: For uniformity in class I encourage getting the Folger Shakespeare > Library edition, which is especially reader friendly.
