=== Eldorado is a utopia, and in it we have good things stressed. We see God’s creation at its best, and we see human nature at its best. What do we learn about Eldorado in //Candide//? What are the positive aspects of Eldorado? What can be criticized about it? How does the religion parallel Deism? What do you think Voltaire is trying to say concerning Candide’s trip to, in and from Eldorado? ===

** For a bit on Deism: **@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism
= = =** 12/31 **= > ===The Noble Savage : The philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote about the “noble savage.” Often, we believe that uncivilized people can be better than civilized people. This is likely to be a myth. Similarly, we can mythologize the working class. Be prepared to discuss Rousseau’s ideas of the noble savage and why one with his views held them. How do these ideas compare to that of the working class in the more modern era? What are the myths of both? What are your views and beliefs on the subject? Most importantly, why would Voltaire want to criticize Rousseau and satirize this subject? === =** 12/30 **= =** 12/29 **= =** 12/27 **= =** 12/24 **= =** 12/23 **= =** 12/22 **= > =** 12/19 **= =** 12/16 **= > =Complete the "Satire Review" HO for tomorrow and be ready to discuss= > =** 12/12 **= =** 12/9 **= =** 12/3 **= =** 11/26 **= = = ====A theme that previous works we’ve read have appears in //Hamlet,// as well: revenge/ (Divine) Justice. Revenge plays were very popular in Shakespeare’s culture. (In fact, the semi-historical story of Hamlet’s family was dramatized by others in Shakespeare’s time, though the Bard’s version has become the most famous and influential.) Nevertheless, the taking of a life--even to avenge a murder--was considered ethically and even legally questionable in Shakespeare’s culture, as it remains today. Do you think this ethical ambiguity is evident in the play? Do you think Shakespeare slants our reaction one way or the other, toward approval of Hamlet’s revenge or against it? (You might consider how other Shakespeare plays you know treat this problem, such as //Romeo and Juliet// and //Othello//.) How common do you believe the act of revenge is in everyday life? Discuss specific incidents, including any inwhich you were involved or have witnessed. Similarly, you can find magazine/ newspaper articles, short stories, plays, poems, or novels containing events motivated by revenge.How might events have been changed had someone not sought revenge? ====

> ==== The play contains many situations in which the surface appearance of things does not always match reality. Hamlet struggles to determine who his true friends are; the players in the acting troupe assume new identities; Claudius appears to be a true and just king and Gertrude his virtuous queen (There are many more examples, find them). Examine the characters and events in terms of appearance and reality. Cite examples of things that are not what they seem. ==== =** 11/25 **= =** 11/24 **= > =** 11/21 **= =** 11/19 **= =** 11/18 **= =** 11/17 **= =** 11/14 **= =** 11/11 **= =** 11/10 **= =** 11/6 **= > = = =** 11/3 **= > = = =** 10/31 **= =** 10/28 **= > ===**HECUBA + Fate/Fortune vs. Divine Providence**=== > === === > ===Shakespeare seems to have enjoyed the story of Hecuba. References to her tale of woe appear numerous times in his works. Why is Hecuba so important in this play in particular? As a parallel to this idea consider, for much of the play, that Hamlet feels like a victim of a random, indifferent universe ruled by the whims of Fortune. What examples or references to this can you find? What is there importance? Similarly, how does Divine Providence fit into this play?=== > = = =** 10/27 **= > = The imagery in the play which supports the impression of decay and corruption in Denmark is woven throughout the speeches and dialogue. Explore the context of these references and determine to what extent the specific images enhance the overall meaning of the play. What effect do these images have on the reader? How would you explain Shakespeare’s inclusion of these images in the play? A review of literary devices such as symbol, metaphor, simile, etc. might be necessary for this discussion. = =** 10/24 **= =** 10/23 **= =** 10/21 **= =** 10/20 **= =** 10/16 **= =** 10/15 **= > = = =** 10/13 **= =** 10/9 **= =** 10/7 **= =** 10/6 **= =** 10/3 **= =** 9/30 **= =** 9/29 **= > = Reminder!!!
