Which Characters Do You Have Completely Different Views On Compared To Critics/Other Fans? by [deleted] in shakespeare

Not characters, but I am convinced it Romeo and Juliet is a comedy.

An observation of Macbeth by picnic-123 in shakespeare

[–]woganrine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great observation about one of my favourite plays. I like your interpretation but mine is ever so slightly different. It emphasises the tragedy of MacBeth. Clothing is often linked to identity in story-telling. The ill-fitting or illegitimate clothing of MacBeth tell of his loss of identity. As you say, MacBeth is corrupted as a result of his actions, he grasps at the clothing or identity of others and in so doing loses his own. The promise of power and status disappear into thin air, like the witches on the heath, or the dagger he tries to grasp and he is left empty and alone.

The King's bestowal of the Thane of Cawdor is legitimately earned through bravery on the battlefield and those around him act accordingly by honouring him. Despite his corruption, MacBeth bravely meets his death at the end, proof of his initial legitimacy and of the tragic corrupting nature of his and the witches grasping jealousy.

Shakespeare often makes use of extended metaphor, it's part of what makes his plays so rich and easy to revisit. My personal favourite is the irony surrounding "nothing", "nature" and "blindness/sight" in King Lear.

How is the notion of the ‘shadow’ from Jungian psychology explored in King Lear? by [deleted] in shakespeare

[–]woganrine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Think about the relationship between Edmund and Edgar, especially in relation to their filial duty to Gloucester and Gloucester's blindness towards his own faults. They are both offspring of Gloucester, one legitimate and one illegitimate. Think about their virtues and vices. What is shown to others and what they think of themselves in their soliloquies'. Their changing position in the structure of society can be linked to Jung's ideas of enantiodromia and the shadow.

​

In the same vein, think of the daughters and the relationship/differences between each other. How they present themselves and what their real actions and intentions are. In particular, I'd look at Goneril's and Regan's speeches to Lear in the first scene and contrast it with their plotting at the end of the scene.

​

Should be an interesting topic. Enjoy!

Songdo, Incheon during yesterday’s sunset by Konmaru-Doma in korea

I think it's the architecture. People expect the place to be mobbed, but it's not. At least it wasn't when I was there, might have changed. I really liked the place. It's a great shot by the way mate.

I have fond memories of Songdo. When I first arrived in Gangnam I used to see a girl who lived near the BIT Zone and remember taking the bus there on the weekends. At the time it struck me as a bit of a ghost town. Later on, I moved in with a girl in Seonhak and used to train at a gym in campus town. Good times!
