-Blessed
-Eyre
-Brooks
-Tate
and their respective readings etc.

im using marxist and freudian. anyone have anything usefull for either of those?? anyone doing either of those?

 

[cranberries]

I'm doing family and political with good ol' eyre and kosintsev!

 

[SmiLeyZ]

im doing the family drama and feminist!!

 

[lukebennett]

Im doing a stephen greenblatt interpretation (political), a marianne novy interpretation (slightly feminist and use it as my own), and the kozintsev production

 

[steph@nie]

Eyre (family), Brooke (absurd) and Elliot (aristotelian/traditional)

Did people have to find their own, or was it given to them?

 

[lukebennett]

you make up one, or you can call another one or a combination of a few your own interpretation

 

[Supra]

Bradly, McLuskie --> two readings
Ran and Brook --> two productions, ran is more an appropriation tho..
if all esle fails do wot luke says, b creative

its not just being creative though. My teacher says it is vital to use your own interpretation plus atleast two others. You are meant to compare the different readings or productions to your own. Good luck everyone. i cant wait till i never have to use my english notes again

 

[steph@nie]

I meant by your teachers, did they say, these are the interpretations I want you to study or did they give you options or did you go and get/create your own?

 

[tina_goes_doo]

Im going to do family/domestic (Eyre), christian (Blessed) and if i actually get around to watching and making notes on it, absurdist (Brook).

 

[televators]

Freudian, Feminist, Marxist.

 

[vegetable-mania]

how many interpretations do u need beside ur own?

i got mine and marxist + feminist

 

[myg0t]

I was wondering, did anyone watch Bondi Production of KL in March... director is Gemma Tamock? If you have watched it, do you think it has a feminist reading to it?

yer, im doing the same reading to back up my argument

make use of the animal imagery and then u have a good argument to relate back to shakespeare.

what are some hinilistic productions? is brooks the only really nihilistic one? and also critics?

kozintsev's Korol loi is nihilistic. there is not a positive emphasis on the ending with lear's increased self realisation.

 

[blacmajic]

im doing: Eyre- family drama and Brooke-nihilistic.
but im really screwed for KL, its my worst topic!

 

[ujuphleg]

Brooks is a nihilistic one, but its done to death.

im fucked for lear. and wordsworth/malouf.
i cant take it.
im going to get in there and start laughing hysterically then they will give me ZERO.
