Hey everyone
which production did everyone use to show the aristotellian reading if your using it? I'm thinking of using Brooke's to demonstrate it, just wanted to know what other productions people are using!

im not talking about it - but if i did, i guess id probably use one of the john bell theatre company ones. i wouldn't use the brook one myself, i think it's emphais on different issues is far too skewed to constitute an aristotelian reading. but thats just me.

All this year i've used the used the richard eyre version with ian holm, and ive got marks totalling 34/35 so far.

Porblem is, everyone on this board says eyre is a family interpretation, so i dont know what to do with it now...

Yeh i used Eyre as a family drama/tragedy reading... ahh.. all so confusing!!

 

[silvermoon]

its very easy to apply a psychoanalytic or domestic tragedy reading to Eyre's film - this doesn't mean you HAVE to though. in fact, its more original if you dont...

Hey Nessie,
My class studied the Aristotilian tragedy this year as well as Eyre and we used the Jonathan Miller 1982 production, all the characters were dressed in traditional Elizabethan costuming and it really highlighted the Aristotilian reading.

aristotle's veritable axiom

if u add any number to itself enough times, it will exceed any other number in magnitude

Michael Elliot was the one we did for aristotelian.
