ENG 164 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.
