Student´s name : Ayala Ruiz, Alberto
Title of the paper
: Shakespeare
through Performance
Author or topic
: William Shakespeare
Abstract :
In this course, we’ve studied, read and analyzed five comedies written by
William Shakespeare (The Comedy of Errors, The Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth
Night, The Merchant of Venice and Midsummer Night’s Dream). Related to these
comedies, we all have dealt with several topics and have analyzed them, and
later, we’ve handed in four papers (two individual and two collective), apart
from offering oral presentations to talk about those papers and taking two
reading tests to show our knowledge about the comedies we have read. Regarding
the collective papers, I’ve been a member of the
Planning Team
, and, besides, I’ve been part of the paper named “
Characterization in Shakespearean Comedies
”, this being the final document after an outline carried out before. Regarding
the individual papers, the first I had to deal with was related to
Hortensio
, one of the characters of the comedy “The Taming of the Shrew”, and the
second one was named “Selfishness & Selflessness
in Shakespearean Comedies
”, related to the selfish and selfless behaviours that some Shakespearean
characters show. In this website, I’ve compiled the papers I’ve composed
during the semester so as to show the development of the course.
Auto-evaluation:
Honestly, I think I deserve a “Sobresaliente”, since I think I’ve accomplished
the vast majority of requirements and goals proposed at the beginning of
the course. I’ve attended all the classes, my papers have been evaluated
in a positive way (the individual and collective ones), I had good marks
in the tests, the presentations have been successful and satisfactory, and
finally, I have developed this website, which has taken its time and dedication.
All this shows a compromise and dedication towards an interesting subject
dealing with one of the most important (if not the most important one) writers
of all times: William Shakespeare.
