Students produced their oral presentations that had been prepared in the previous session. The second session was a wider consideration of the nature of tragedy within Shakespeare's Othello. Reference was made to Aristotle's 'Pity and Fear' interpretation of tragedy and Miller's view that constructing tragedy is an optimistic act aimed at human 'perfectibility'.
The oral work produced a very useful resource that students should collect from the Archdeacon of Nonsense.
Homework: Construct the first draft of the Shakespeare coursework. I expect all students to hand me an essay on Tuesday.
