ENG 264 SHAKESPEARE'S COMEDIES
Happy Endings: Shakespeare's Comedies. The "happy ending" of Shakespeare's comedies-marriage-is costly. Articulate women grow silent; cross-dressed boys resume their gowns (or don't); elaborate plots are disrupted by rape and venereal disease. Whence this anxiety? Where does Shakespeare find hope or consolation? Readings include A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, All's Well That Ends Well, and The Winter's Tale.
