Shakespeare, our contemporary?
Here is our glog! What we wanted to illustrate, as many of us, was the fact that Shakespeare is still our contemporary. One of the many reasons for this is the fact that his themes are timeless. No matter our age or where we are, we all feel attracted to topics such as thwarted or impossible love, fear of death, betrayal, jelousy, ambition, revenge. The relevance of these themes, and therefore of Shakespeare, has been reflected on the many films based both on Shakespeare's storylines and on these topics in particular. This glog presents some of the previously mentioned films as a proof of how appealing Shakespeare is. Hope you enjoy it!

Girls it's amazing the number of movies you found in connection to Shakespeare. It was good to see how you focused your talk mainly on films and the connection between them and Shakespeare's themes. Congrats! :)
ReplyDeleteI greatly enjoyed your presentation. The connection you made between Shakespeare and the films was very clear. What was fascinating to me was the number of films you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteNice job, girls! Though I was not present when you introduced it, I feel it's quite clear and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI've found your presentation extremely interesting and I realised that we both included movies that were based on shakespeare's stories. The only difference is that Juli and me only talked about disney movies! In our presentation, we also talked about Shakespeare's universality as you did. You did an great job!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your presentation girls! I liked the pictures you've chosen and the movie trailer - it clearly showed the similarities with Othello! Real nice job!!!
